On the recordJuly 14, 1998

I know my colleagues probably are not aware I am the only representative that represents U.S. nationals in the great United States of America. By definition of the U.S. immigration law, a U.S. national is any person who is born in the confines of American Samoa, who is a permanent resident, not permanent resident, born and raised in American Samoa who owes permanent allegiance to the United States but he is neither a citizen nor an alien. You tell me what that means?
