A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.
What this bill would do

The text notes the significant sacrifices made by survivors, including forced labor, torture, and loss of life. It acknowledges the loyalty of the people of Guam to the United States during this time. Finally, the resolution calls on the people of the United States to observe this day through ceremonies and activities.
