American Samoa Football
H.R. 5010--D.C. and U.S. Territories Circulating Quarter Dollar Program Act
One thing in particular that I want to share with you, Mr. Chairman, and the subcommittee, is that quite unique to American Samoa. We probably export more sumo wrestlers and National Football League players than any other State and Territory in our Nation. Be that as it may, I do want to say that this legislation—it won't fit on the quarter, OK—Mr. Chairman, this legislation amends current law by adding a twelveth year to the program. During this period the District of Columbia and the five insular areas would also be recognized by the minting of 25 cent coins.

There will be some programs about American families and funny situations that happen in them. As a part of these programs, you will observe material things that Americans own and many American customs in the areas of marriage, clothing, behavior of young people, etc. Some programs will have well known American singers in them performing American music, some will be stories of the old west, and others will be modern stories about police in big cities. Both types of programs will show a lot of killing and violence in them. Most programs last either 30 minutes or an hour. Sometimes old movies are shown late at night on the T.V.
