The Administration supports the objectives of H.R. 757 to analyze and plan for
the economic future of American Samoa. However, the Administration does not
support H.R. 757, which would establish a commission for these purposes. As
set forth in Executive Order No. 12838, Administration support for new
commissions is to be limited only to those cases "compelled by considerations
of national security, health or safety, or similar national interests." The
establishment of a commission by H.R. 757 is also unnecessary because the
Administration will use existing authority to accomplish the bill's objectives.
