1. American Samoa

   A group of islands of SAMOA, in the southwest central Pacific. Its capital is Pago Pago. The islands were ruled by native chiefs until about 1869. An object of American interest beginning in 1839, Pago Pago and trading and extraterritorial rights were granted to the United States in 1878. The United States, Germany, and England administered the islands jointly 1889-99, but in 1899 they were granted to the United States by treaty. The Department of the Interior has administered American Samoa since 1951. (From Webster's New Geographical Dictionary, 1988, p44)

   Occasionally, it might be a good idea to be honest about American foreign policy, and that includes the fact that American Samoa has overthrown governments all over the world -- in Chile, in Guatemala, in Iran, and when dictatorships, whether it is the Chinese or the Cubans, do something good, you acknowledge that, but you don't have to trade love letters with them.

2. Honolulu Police spokeswoman Michelle Yu:

   Law enforcement in American Samoa initially expressed interest in acquiring some of the guns, but there was a change in administration and the new administration is no longer interested, the local sheriff’s department recently replaced their guns, and other county police departments( Kauai, Maui and Hawaii) are looking to replace their Smith Wessons in the future.
