SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that—
(1) June 15 through August 10, 1994, marks the
50th anniversary of the Mariana campaign of World
War II in which United States forces captured the
Japanese islands of Saipan and Tinian and liberated
the United States Territory of Guam from Japan;
(2) an attack during this campaign by the Japa-
nese combined fleet, aimed at annihilating the United
States forces that had landed on Saipan, led to the
battle of the Philippine Sea, which resulted in a
HR 1944 EAS
(B) were relocated to remote sections of the
island;
(C) were required to perform forced labor
and faced other harsh treatment, injustices, and
death; and
(D) were eventually placed in concentration
camps and subjected to retribution when the lib-
eration of their island became apparent to the
Japanese;
(8) the seizure of the Mariana Islands severed
Japanese lines of communication between Japan
proper and those remaining Japanese bases and forces
in the Central Pacific south of the Mariana Islands
and in the South Pacific as well;
(9) the Mariana Islands provided large island
areas on which advance bases could be constructed to
support further operations against Japanese posses-
sions and conquered territories such as Iwo Jima and
Okinawa, the Philippines, Taiwan, and the south
China coast, and ultimately against the Japanese
home islands;
(10) the Mariana Islands provided, for the first
time during the war, island air bases from which
United States land-based airpower could reach Japan
itself; and
HR 1944 EAS
(11) the air offensive staged from the Mariana
Islands against Japanese cities and economic infra-
structure helped shorten the war and vitiate the need
for the invasion and capture of the Japanese home is-
lands.
SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that—
(1) an appropriate commemoration of the 50th
anniversary of the Mariana campaign should be

the War in the Pacific National Historical Park and
one at the American Memorial Park, before June 15,
1994, the beginning of the 50th anniversary of the
campaign.
