Congressman Faleomavaega announced today that a copy of the Future Political Status Study Commission Report is now available online for the public and particularly members of the Samoan community all around the world to read.

 “Many people in our Samoan community, especially those residing outside of American Samoa, have contacted my office to request copies of or to find out how to obtain a copy of the Future Political Status Study Commission Report,” Faleomavaega said.  “So, I am pleased to inform everyone that a copy of the report is now available online on my website and on the American Samoa Governor’s website for anyone to read.”

 “I want to congratulate and thank The Honorable Tufele Li’amatua–Chairman, The Honorable Tuaolo Fruean–Vice Chairman, High Talking Chief Fofo Sunia–Executive Director, and all the Commissioners and staff of the Future Political Status Study Commission for the tremendous work they did in completing this report.” 

“Now that we have the report, everyone concerned should take time to thoroughly review the Commission’s recommendations, especially our Fono and the Administration.  As I have stated before, I believe the next logical step in this important process is for the Fono to conduct hearings to discuss the different recommendations made by the Commission.  Only after such a careful review and discussion I feel we should proceed to the next steps or implementation,” Faleomavaega concluded.
