the initial language said they were "included" (i.e. marianas island chain), but singly "excluded" from enforcement..they're now saying this was an oversight which will be corrected in committee..(don't ask me which one, it's their quote)..
This is probably covered somewhere else, but any explanation that American Samoa was covered by the Marianas Island chain reference is simply wrong. There are not in the same island chain and nowhere near each other.
