There is hereby created an External Relations Commission to be composed of nine members to be chosen as follows:

(a) Three members from the Legislature to be appointed by the Speaker;
(b) Three members are to be appointed by the Governor; (c) Three representatives of private industry within
Guam to be appointed by the Speaker.

SOURCE: GC § 325 added by P.L. 15-052:1 (July 6, 1979).

COMMENT: This Commission has never been activated. The Legislature, for a time, maintained liaison offices in Hong Kong, but has transferred this function to the Association of Pacific Island Legislatures. The Guam Economic Development Authority maintains a liaison in Hong Kong, and from time to time, elsewhere.

There are doubts as to the validity of this section, since the Speaker is appointing members to what is in effect an executive function.

2013 NOTE: Numbers and/or letters were altered to adhere to the
