Guam - US senators Jim Webb and Carl Levin are scheduled to arrive on Guam today and will meet with the island's elected leaders this evening. Speaker Judi Won Pat says she will be asking about the funding for the military buildup and whether the senators are still confident the Japan government will keep to its $6 billion commitment for the Marines relocation in light of the disasters in that country.

Won Pat says they are scheduled to meet with the US senators on Monday at 6pm in the Legislature's Public Hearing Room.
