16. 土地使用权和所有权问题涉及两个主要议题：归还美国国防部持有但未使用或极少使用的土地，以及将这些土地归还原查莫罗族土地所有人。考虑到计划增加军力，国防部有意再获取至少 2 200 英亩非联邦土地。在关岛现有的 147 000英亩土地中，国防部目前占有 40 000 英亩，即岛屿土地总面积的 27.21%。领土的私有土地所有者有权拒绝出售任何土地用于军事目的。至于公共土地，此种用地要求需获得关岛立法机构批准。
16. The question of land use and ownership encompasses two major issues: the return of unused or underutilized land held by the United States Department of Defense and the return of that land to the original Chamorro landowners. In view of the envisaged military build-up, the Department has been interested in acquiring at least an additional 2,200 acres of non-federal land. Of the 147,000 acres of land available on Guam, the Department currently possesses 40,000 acres, or 27.21 per cent of the island’s land mass. Private landowners in the Territory have the right to refuse to sell any of their land for military purposes. With regard to public land, such requests would need the approval of the Guam legislature.
