Our duty is to better enable the House Natural Resources Committee and Congress to determine how best to protect American values and interests in the Pacific.
The American Government does not just have an obligation to these island nations; the amount of value we receive out of our agreements with the FAS means we owe it to the American people to maintain these relationships.
I find myself unable to fully support H. Res. 279 because I believe wholesale rejection of the Insular Cases may have unforeseen or undesirable implications on the future relationship between the territories and the United States.
I look forward to working closely with the committee to advance these crucial issues, which are instrumental in preserving our nation's natural heritage and fostering community well-being.
