Guam - Senator Frank Blas, Jr., who also has been at the forefront of fighting for war reparations was disappointed by some of the remarks during the hearing. "Obviously they do not know about the people of Guam, they don't know about our suffering, they continue to treat us as second-class citizens," he said.

"It's not about the money, it's about the recognition. If they were concerned about the money they would have said something about President Obama giving $400,000,000 to Americans who were terrorized by the Saddam Hussein regime."
