Speech #990225446

SUNIAI have been inadvertently disenfranchised from participating in general elections in American Samoa by something that has been in the law since 1929. This amendment removes this egregious inequity and in my opinion is necessary legislation. The Subcommittee on Immigration. Refugees. and International Law of the House Committee on the Judiciary did review this particular piece of legislation that has the unanimous support. including the enthusiastic support of all four members of the Republican minority. I would like to thank the gentleman from Arizona and the gentleman from California for expediting this piece of legislation as an amendment to the omnibus territories bill rather than us having to pass separate legislation late in the session.
