    Government The U.S. Department of the Interior in Washington, D.C., has jurisdiction over American Samoa, but the territory has considerable say over its local affairs. The territorial government is patterned on that of the United States, with some important local wrinkles. American Samoans elect their own governor, who's head of the executive branch, and they choose members of their House of Representatives, the lower house of the bicameral legislature known as the Fono. In the upper house, senators are picked by the chiefs in accordance with Samoan custom. The Fono has authority over the budget and local affairs, although both the governor and the U.S. Department of the Interior can veto the laws it passes. A political appointee from Washington, D.C., heads the third branch of government, the High Court of American Samoa. The court has a special department that deals exclusively with land ownership and matai titles.

    History and Government
    History: For the history of American Samoa before the mid-19th century, see the entry for Samoa (until recently, Western Samoa). US interest in Samoa was prompted by the late-19th century search for a deep-water port in the South Pacific. Control of the islands was eventually divided between the USA and Germany; the USA took Tutuila in order to use Pago Pago Bay as a coaling station. As Washington had no established apparatus for colonial government, the US Navy was put in charge. Despite the US presence, island life remained largely unaffected until the 1940s, when American Samoa acquired great strategic importance in the course of the Pacific war, and was subject to a huge influx of US Marines.
    After the war, the Americans started to encourage the island towards self-government. In 1956 the first indigenous Samoan governor was appointed, followed a decade later by a new constitution that sought to guarantee the rights of the local inhabitants in matters of land ownership and civil rights. The first full election for the post of governor was held in 1977. The post is currently held by Tauese P Sunia, who narrowly won the gubernatorial elections in November 1996, and was re-elected as incumbent at the most recent poll four years later.

    Overview An individual, organization or government cannot exist without records. Officials use records to plan and control programs. Records are the legal basis of policies, procedures, obligations, investments and individual and group rights. ASG records are essentially administrative, financial, legal or historical in nature and are usually in paper, electronic, photo or film format. ASG departments create and receive records during the course of their duties. Records Management Although records sometimes become increasingly complex, expensive to create and costly to maintain, they must be managed in order to ensure efficiency, economy and responsible governing. Unavailable information is costly in terms of time and money. Active and inactive records must therefore be controlled in order to retain their administrative, legal, fiscal or historical research values. The Records Center exists to preserve and control government records by promoting their systematic creation, organization, maintenance and disposition. Permanent records possess eternal historical values while Temporary records have no enduring value and are usually destroyed for space and economics after retention periods ranging from 1-75 years.

    American Samoa
    The chief importance of American Samoa is the fact that Pago Pago Bay, in the island of Tutuila, is the safest and best harbor in the South Seas. It is of great value as a naval base, and because of this, the United States as far back as 1872, secured the cession of the harbor by a native king. The American Samoan group comprises the islands of Tutuila, Rose, Tau, Olosega, Ofu, Aunuu and, since 1925, Swain's Island. With the exception of Swain's they were obtained in 1899 by annexation through a tripartite treaty between the United States, Great Britain and Germany. Congress did not legalize American control over Samoa until February 20,1929. The other islands of the group, known as Western Samoa, were under German sovereignty up to the close of the world war, and are now under the League of Nations as a mandate to New Zealand. The islands are about 2700 miles east of the northern tip of Australia and 2200 miles south of Hawaii. The majority of the 12,000 natives are pure Polynesian, having their own Samoan language. Virtually all are Christians, divided among various Protestant denominations.

      American Samoa has been a territory of the United States since the signing of the Deed of Session on April 17, 1900. During this long period, the Samoans maintained local management of the islands while U.S. activity was limited to the operation of the coaling station and the naval base in the Pago Pago harbor area. When the Japanese Empire began aggressive actions in the Pacific during the late 1930's, the quiet naval station at Tutuila suddenly acquired a new strategic importance. In 1940 the Port of PagoPago became an advanced training and staging area for the U.S. Marine Corps. During those war years the heightened activity exposed American Samoa to the U.S. way of life and the benefits of American built roads, airstrips, docks, and medical facilities. Since World War II, American Samoa has developed into a modern, self coverning political system. The government is divided into three branches: Executive, legislative, and judical. The Governor and Lieutenant Governor head the executive branch and are elected to four year terms. The legislature, or Fono , consists of two houses: the Senate, selected by each matai (village chief) and the House of Representatives, elected by the general population. The judicial branch is part of the U.S. judicial system. American Samoa has a non-voting representative to the U.S. Congress.
