INTRODUCTION
The fiscal year 1969 was a period
of continuation of the new era of
American Samoa-improved economy,
improved living conditions, and improved government. Planning is for
the increasing development of these
phases, but particularly, a significant
advancement of the educational system. Because the Government of
American Samoa is vitally concerned
that American Samoa does not lose its
heritage and identity, the planning for
the future of the territory was developed with this concern in full consideration at all times. All efforts to
improve the status of the islands and
its people were directed toward retaining the best of the old and obtaining
the best of the new.
The legislature, under the provisions
of the revised constitution, for the first
time played a major role in the progress accomplished and in budgetary
planning. By its action the legislature
created a Political Status Study Commission, which Commission is to develop recommendations for delivery to
the legislature in March 1970. It is
anticipated that these recommendations eventually shall guide American
Samoa into such political status as desired by the majority of the people.
The legislature also created an Economic Development Planning Commission. This commission, operating
through a Territorial Planning Office,
is responsible for the development of a
master plan for the orderly advance-

International Airport ending their moon voyage.

ment of the territory. This planning
action was motivated by the results of
a comprehensive survey of all governmental operations and the workings of
the commercial community. This survey was conducted by Wolf Managem ent Services under a contract \l·ith
the Economic Development Administration, U.S . Department of Commerce. The Economic DeYelopment
Planning Commission is expected to
follow to a great extent the recomm endations of the \\'olf Sun·ey Report.
Also in economic field, the GO\·ernment of American Samoa initiated
negotiations \l-ith the Bank of H a\1·aii
for the sale of most of the assets and
liabilities of the Bank of American
Samoa, thereby removing the government from the commercial banking
business. The legislature and the Secretary of the Interior approved a plan
by which the Bank of Hawaii will assume all commercial operations. The
Bank of American Samoa would continue in existence but solely as a development bank, concentrating its
efforts on granting loans which would
stimulate economic growth in the
territory.

At the beginning of the fiscal year
the new medical facility was dedicated.
The Tropical Medical Center is a
modern and complete hospital and
clinic and is considered by many to be
the finest such institution in the South
Pacific area.
A particularly memorable day for
American Samoa was May 26, 1969.
The Apollo 10 astronauts splashed
down about 300 miles east of the territory and were brought to the Tafuna
airport by helicopter to board a jet aircraft for the Space Center in Houston.
The moon travelers were given a traditional Polynesian welcome, complete
with ulas, America n Samoa dancing
girls and fire dances by Samoan
youths. The territory received worldwide publicity when the astronauts
made glowing statements of the pleasure of viewing the scenic beauty and
the hospitality of American Samoa
after witnessing the drab and forbidding features of the moon which they
had circumnavigated during their
flight.
OwEN S. AsPINALL, Governor.

ment but it did serve in preventing
other nations from making claims on
Pago Pago harbor. A second agreement
with the chiefs of Tutuila was negotiated in January 1878. It was ratified
and remained in force for over 20 years.
By that time international competition for bases in the South Pacific was
great. Repeated wars among the
Samoans were an additional unsettlnig
factor. Consequently, on June 14, 1889,
a general act of agreement for the
security of the islands was entered into
by the United States, Great Britain, and
Germany. This agreement was not effective and was superseded by the Convention of 1899 in which Germany and
Great Britain agreed to drop all claims
to those islands to the east of 171 °
west of Greenwich. The United States
gave up all claim to the islands of
Upolu and Savai'i to Germany. These
islands now make up the independent
state of Western Samoa. This treaty
was ratified, and on February 19, 1900,
President McKinley directed that the
Navy establish United States authority in what is now American Samoa. As
a naval station was being established in
Pago Pago harbor a series of deeds of
cession was negotiated with the chiefs
of Tutuila and Aunu'u, and on
April 17, 1900, the U.S. flag was flown
for the first time on Tutuila. The king
of the Manu'a chain ceded those
islands to the United States on June 14,
1904.
Eli Jennings, an American trader,
and his Samoan wife had settled on
Swains Island in 1856, and although
it had historically been linked to the
Tokelau island chain, his citizenship
linked it to American Samoa. The Jen-
nings family still owns Swains and its
people produce copra which is its only
crop. The government maintains an
agent there who is also a teacher. Other
government facilities include a dispensary, staffed by a public health nurse,
and a radio station with one operator.
The naval government remained in
effect in American Samoa until
June 30, 1951, at which time, by Executive order, the administration of
the Territory was transferred to the
Department of the Interior. Over the
years the Navy had built and maintained public works and medical facilities but the cession agreement provided that the Samoan chiefs would
continue to govern so long as they did
not violate U .S. laws or act to obstruct
the advancement of civilization.
People
The people of American Samoa are
friendly and generous and cling today
to a culture which is filled with ceremonial and mythological activities.
They are true Polynesians, closely related to the Hawaiians, Tahitians,
Tongans, and the Maoris of New Zealand.
The main social unit is the aiga
(family ) which extends through those
closely related through generations.
Many aigas include several thousand
people. They are administered by
matais or chiefs and a communal economy still prevails with the matai responsible for the control of family land
and property. The matai is responsible
for the well-being of his aiga and represents it in village, county, and distri ct
councils.
American Samoa sent five Boy Scouts to the National Jamboree for the first time in history
during fiscal 1969.

GOVERNMENT
The Territorial Government of
American Samoa is composed of the
three traditional branches o r cxcc u Live,
legislative, and judicial.
The executive bra nch is pallcrn cd
after models in the U nitc·cl S ta tes,
with departmen ts o perating in such
areas as agricu lture, pub lic works, !rga l
afl'a irs, publi c sak ty, lll('cli ca l se rvices
a nd port achnini stration. In aclcl iti on ,
the govc nl n1 cn t o pnatcs a ll in tc rn a !
a nd ove rseas com n1uni ca tions system,
an information office whi ch includes
a radio sta tion, and a local gove rnm ent
office which serves as a link between
the executive branch and the American
Samoan peole.
Judicial power is vested in the high
court and five district courts, which
function under an American chief justice and associate justice and four
American Samoan associate judges.
There is no jury system and all
cases are tried before a combination
of American and American Samoan
judges. When a plea of guilty is entered, it is not accepted until the government makes a prima facie case, in
order to protect an innocent person
from pleading guilty through ignorance
or misunderstanding.
The legislature, created by Article
II of the American Samoan Constitution, is composed of a House of Representatives and Senate. Each of 14
counties elect a matai, who may be a
talking chief or high chief, to 4-year
terms in the Senate while House members are elected for 2-year terms by
popular vote within the counties. The
legislature meets in regular session for
not more than 4-0 consecutive days beginning in February of each year, although the Governor may call special
sessions. The proceedings are conducted in the Samoan language which
then is translated into English.
The Constitution was revised and
ra tified by the voters in 1966, approved
by the Secretary of the Interior in
Jun e 1967, and became effective July 1,
1967.
Local Government
Administrative Services
The Department of Administrative
Services has the responsibility of conducting the business and fin ancial activities of the territorial gove rnment.
It has direct control over general supply, material management, procurement, construction cost accounting,
property management, printing, land
transportation, personnel, and vital
statistics.
During the fiscal year a mcrgi ng o[
the general supply and co nstru ction in ventories was initiated in order to
streamline accounting fun ctions. A
"country store" was opened to handle
minor purchases by departments and
to serve the public with items not carried by local merchants.
The procurement office was made a
separate entity from general supply
a nd new procedures were implemented
on competitive buying and the acquisition of materials from the General
Services Adminis.tration and Federal
surplus agencies. Methods for expediting a nd following up the delivery of
o rd ers were developed.
Th e Director of the Department
se rves a lso as Treasurer of the Government a nd is respo nsible for revenue
The Depa rtment of Local Government, known as the Office of Samoan
Affairs, is established by law and is
composed of chiefs . Its purpose is to
serve as a link between the executive
branch, of which it is a part, and the
Samoan people.
The office is headed by the Secretary
of Samoan Affairs. Under his administration are three district governors,
the county chiefs, the village pulenu'us
(mayors ) and the village police
officers.
The office concerns itself at the local
level with problems concerning water,
roads, sanitation, agriculture, schools,
and land.
A major function is the handling of
land disputes, which have increased in
recent years . During the fiscal yea r th e
Western District Governor settled 4·8
cases out of 49 without going to court.
The Eastern Distri ct Govnnor settled
4-7 out or 50 casc·s.

ma nage ment, a nd the budgetary processes. Under the Samoan Income Tax
Act he assumes the same administrative and enforcement powers as those
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has under the U.S . Income Tax Act.
Financing for the Government of
American Samoa comes from local
revenues which are supplemented by
grants-in-aid from the U .S. Congress.
The Governor's office, the legislature
and the High Court all operate under
direct F ederal appropriations.
H
Congressional grants and direct appropriations for fi scal year 1969 totaled
$6.6 million compa red to $7.3 million
for fiscal year 1968 and $9.1 million
for fiscal year 1967 . Local revenues
were $4.6 million as compared to $4.4
million fiscal year 1968 and $4 million
in fiscal year 196 7.
In addition to filing Samoan tax returns and assessing and collecting tax
payments, the income tax branch receives and transmits social security
payments to the Internal R evenue
Service.
EDUCATION
As the Department of Education
completed its fifth year in which educational television served as th e basic
teaching tool, progress was m ade in
upgrading the system and the qual ifications of American Samoans employed in the departmen t.
Special emphasis was placed on th e
Early Childhood Education program
which began this year ; plans for ma jor
expansion were made to provid e fo r
the more than 2,500 preschool chi ldren who will be taking part. Samoan
custom limits contact between the
young and the adult, and the village
child entering school is frequently
unable to communicate properly. Each
child in the program, whi ch has received parental acceptance, attends
either two or three classes weekly on a
rotating basis.
Research and measurement continued under a 3-year program funded
by a title III grant from the U.S. Office
of Education. Combining locallydevised and standardized U.S. tests
brought a refinement to testing
techniques.
Continued emphasis was placed on
the continued education of American
Samoans employed by the department.
Over 400 local teachers attended
Feleti Training School in the afternoons, on Sa turdays and on a full-time
basis in th e summer. The program kept
to its schedu le which calls for local certification of all local teachers by 1971.
A University of Hawaii instructor
was brought to American Samoa to
give grad uate courses in educational
administration and communications to
about 30 teachers. A pilot program involving the sending of three assistant
principals to the University of Hawaii
fo r summ er training was also launched.
In the engineering division the
emph asis was shifted from formal
classes to individ ua l instruction, which
helped to overcome language problems.
Fo ur i\ n1 crica n Samoans were made
principa ls of clcmen tary schools during the fiscal year a nd the number of
Samoans producer-d irectors in the television production was increased from
two to four, giving contract producerdirectors more tim e to concentrate on
training local employees.
The government sent 135 young people to the United States to colleges
under the scholarship loan program ,
which was undergoing a complete revision. Efforts were made to find both
colleges which are better prepared to
help the American Samoan student,
and students who are better equipped
to take training in the United States.
A major shift of emphasis from the
4-year college to the 2-year vocational
training program was made in an attempt to supply the territory with
badly-needed skilled workers.

Samoan children continued
to study in a system which
makes maximum use of educational television.
Early childhood training carried American Samoan chil dren through the tra nsition from
preschool to the fi rst gra de.

TOURISM
Tourism continued to offer American Samoa its best opportunity for
economic growth during fiscal year
1969. The number of visitors remaining in the territory over 24 hours increased from 10,825 in fiscal year 1968
to 12,639. Travel specialists agreed that
the in crease would have been much
larger had there been more available
hotel rooms.
The year saw th e ncar completion of
wh a t should be a ma jor visitor a ttraction . In a coopera tive cfTort the governm ent and private groups and
individuals began construction of an
authentic Samoan Village in Pago
Pago Park. The Government provided
the land for the village, leasing plots for
a nominal sum for 10 years. Groups
representing the various districts of
the island as well as the Tongan community then constructed Polynesian
fales (homes) in the village complex.
Restrooms and concession stands were
built and plans were drawn for a small
museum. Owners of the fales have
stocked them with Samoan craft items
which are offered for sale to visitors.
They also make tapa, husk coconuts
and perform other Polynesian tasks to
show the island way of life. Frequent
fiafias (parties) are given for a reasonable price for groups of guests .
Late in the fiscal year tourism was
given another boost when American
Airlines was authorized to serve American Samoa on its flights from Hawaii
to New Zealand and Australia. The
airline indicated it hopes to institute
service before the end of 1969 and a nno unced pl a ns for a n cx tr nsiv<' r::. mp :-~ i g n in til<' U nit<·<i Slal('s lo prorrro l! '

South Pacific travel. It also indicated
it had plans for building a major hotel
facility in American Samoa.
Air Samoa, a locally-financed charter airline, was established and began
operating six-passenger planes, offering
charter flights to Western Samoa and
Tonga.
Clearance was received from the
Land Commission for a group of local
business leaders to construct a 12-room
hotel with a restaurant and bar. If
the operation is successful additional
rooms will be built.
Negotia tions continued between the
Governm ent of American Samoa, the
Inter-Continental Hotel chain and
Federal agencies on the expansion
of the present Pago Pago InterContinental Hotel by 100 rooms. Plans ·
also call for service extensions to the
present ·100-room facility.
The Office of Tourism began circulating a colorful new brochure on
American Samoa's tourist attractions.
The brochure was awarded a first prize
by the Honolulu Advertising Club.
Late in the fiscal year the office produced a large tourism poster which was
distributed to travel agents not only
in the United States but in New
Zealand and Australia . The office prepared a manual for travel agents giving full details on travel to American
Samoa. In order to acquaint local people with the needs of the tourism
industry and desires of tourists, the Office of Tourism sponsored a 1-day
workshop in whi r h officials of the

MEDICAL SERVICES
D uring fiscal year 1969 the D epartment of Medical Services became fully
operative in the new Lyndon B. Johnson Tropical Medical Center, the prid e
of American Samoa. The new 200-bed
hospital opened in June 1968, in a
beautiful valley which cuts from the
sea into the south shore of Tutui la.
The hospial has a staff of 300 Am erican Samoans who work with a small
cadre of U.S . medical specialists and
continual training programs are carried on to place as many local people
as possible in responsible position s.
During fiscal year 1969 a Samoan
medical practitioner with many years
of experience was advanced to chief
of surgery. Other American Samoans
were named chief of environmental
sanitation and chief of the laboratory
.division.
The territorial nursing school graduated another class of 19 nurses who
were trained for 3 years. Officials of
the Department of Medical Services
continued to explore the possibility of
expanding nursing training so as to
enable the school to produce registered
nurses.
While the department continued to
give the best possible medical service to
all, emphasis was placed on long-range
planning to improve service. The Community Health Planning Corporation
of San Francisco was contracted to
make a thorough study to identify major health problems and provide data
for decisions in planning, organization,
and administration of all services. This
study was funded by a special appropri a tion of $20,000 by the legislature.
An advisory council, consisting chiefly
of Am erican Samoans, was organized
to rev iew needs and determine what
Federal programs were needed to upg rade med ical care in compliance with
Federal requ irements.
Appli cations were made for funds
und<>r th e Pa rtnership for H ealth prog rams of the Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare. One program involved a contract with the
School of Medicine of the University
of Hawaii for continued research in
filariasis. At one time 40 percent of
the people of American Samoa were
victims of this disease but a 6-year
crash program of research and treatment has virtually eliminated it. Continued study is expected to make sure
that eradication is complete.

The territory also expected to
qualify for an HEW grant which
would provide for the renovation of
several outmoded village dispensaries.
Some date from the days of naval administration and are antiquated and
inadequate for normal needs of today.
The department continued to operate
a separate facility at Tafuna for victims of Hansen's disease. Modern
treatment methods have greatly reduced the patient load and only a few
pa ti ents remain . Plans were made during rJ scal year 1969 to shift them to
th e main hospital so that they can rece ive better care at a lower cost to the
government. The hospital treats other
victims of this disease on an out-patient
basis.
Department officials took advantage
of the move to the new hospital to
streamline administrative procedures.
An appointment system was instituted
for the first time. Patients now may
make advance appointments with specialists when they are under continued
treatments. Patients who are appearing for initial treatment report to a
clinic where they are examined. If
their illness is minor, they are treated
there. If it is of a more serious nature,
they are referred to a specialist.
Administration of the Medical
Services Department was not without
its problems. During part of the fiscal
year some key positions, including a director of nursing services, a chief of
pediatrics and director of medical services, were unfilled. The difficulty of
recruiting U.S . physicians continued to
present a problem, which was solved in
part by bringing specialists of various
types from Hawaii and the con tin en tal
United States for short periods. Thes1·

COMMUNICATIONS
The Communications Office experienced its busiest year, for well over
27,000 revenue telegrams and 15,000
overseas telephone calls were processed during fiscal year 1969. The
increase amounted to 9 percent in overseas telegrams and 50 percent in overseas telephone calls over the previom
year. The sharp increase in the number
of overseas telephone calls was attributed to the improved transmission
quality derived from Lincompex Terminals which were installed on the
Oakland/Pago circuit in December
1968. Telex service through the International Telex System also registered
an increase of 13 percent in the number of calls placed. This service also is
available on a 24-hour basis.
During the latter part of the year
a second voice channel was activated
over the Oakland/Pago circuit, giving
American Samoa an unprecedented
three-voice channel capability for plac·
ing overseas telephone calls to the
United States, Hawaii, and over 50
foreign countries. Hours of operation
were also increased from 8 to 14 hours
daily, Monday through Friday, and
from 4 to 8 hours on weekends and
holidays. Unlike the overseas telephone
service, coastal telephone service between American Samoa and ships at
sea was considerably lighter. Only
a few ships were able to utilize this
Sel'VJCe.
As a result of the communications
feasibility study conducted 4 years ago,
the Government of American Samoa
entered into an agreement with the
Federal
Aviation
Administration
whereby certain communications requirements were to be integrated within the FAA communications systems
at considerable savings to the Government of American Samoa. Phase I of
such agreement was completed in December 1968 with phase II ~tated for
completion in early fiscal year 1970.
The long-range teletype replacement
program of present obsolete and wornout tel etype machines with newer
model machines came closer to reality
when the first shipment of new machines arrived in late June 1969. It is
expected the changeover will take 5
years to complete.
During fiscal year 1969, the Communications Office expended a considerable number of man-hours in the
development of new VHF systems to
supplement and ultimately replace
existing interisland single sideband ~ys­
tems. Despite the poor terrain for VHF
propagation, two new systems were
engineered and tested successfully during the year. Additional VHF sys tems
are planned for fiscal year 1970, OIH'
of which will enable off-island 1>pn·
ators to dial directly into th e n·nt r:d
telephone exchange at Fap;::ttogo.

Samoa remained the largest employer
in the territory during fiscal year 1969
but there were moderate increases in
employment in the private areas and
indications were that more jobs will be
created in the future.
The tun a canneries and can manufacturing pl ant still make up the larges t indu stry. Sta r-Ki st co ntinued to hire
an ave rage of 500 Samoans with a
monthly payroll o f abo ut $50,000. It
se rved 92 Asia n fi shing vessels ma nned
by a bout 1,840 ori en tal fi sherm en. V a n
Cam p m aintain ed a work force of
about the sam e size but a variance of
operations gave that firm a monthly
payroll for Samoans of $85,000. It serviced 52 fishing boats operated by about
1,000 oriental fishermen . The men in
the fishing fleets spend most of their
time at sea but they do make some personal economic contribution to the territory while in port. Efforts were made
during the fiscal year to improve relations between the oriental fishing crews
and local residents. Japan, South
Korea, and Nationalist China were offered space in the new Samoan village
and invited to set up exhibitions representing their nations.
Employment in the tourism industry
showed an increase from about 250 to
300. These people worked in the hotel,
tour agencies, and other related operations. The Office of Tourism ended the
fiscal year with a prediction that the
industry could produce 100 new jobs
in the next year but this depends on
proposed hotel expansion and the increase in airline service. T he terri to ry
l(i
has two or three major retail or wholesale firms with large payrolls. These
and some of the smaller firms were implementing recommendations of the
Wolf Management Report and it was
expected that modernized and streamlined operations would not only improve service but create more jobs as
facilities are expanded.
W ages in American Samoa are regulated for the most part by the Federal
F air L abor Standards Act and the
W age and Hour Law of the Code of
Am eri can Sam oa. A biannual survey
of wage ra tes was conducted during
fi scal year 1969 by a commission appointed by the Secretary of Labor. The
minimum hourly wage was raised on
a n average of 5 cents in industries covered by the Federal act.
The Office of Personnel, a division
of the Department of Administrative
Services, performed normal personnel
functions dealing with 2,943 government employees. They included 2,734
local career service workers, 196 contract workers from the United States
and 16 Federal Civil Service employees. The major work-load involved
administration of the Merit System
which is part of the Code of American
Samoa and which covers American
Samoan workers.
In cooperation with the Department
of Education, the Personnel Office arranged for a special course in remedial
English for American Samoan employees in the higher grades and
pla nned futu rr ro ursrs of th r same
na ture.
Crewmen of three oriental fishing fleets are
headquartered in Pago Pago ha rbor a nd
fish for thousands of miles out in the
South Pacific.

SOCIAL SECURITY AND WORKMEN'S
COMPENSATION
A~
the end of the fiscal year, more
than 800 American Samoans were receiving social security checks totaling
over $18,000 monthly, and some others
were coll ecting disability benefits.
The
Workmen's
Compensation
Commission office processed 218 injury claims and disbursed $18,494 in
compensation awards and $12,906 in
medical awards.
OFFICE OF SAMOAN INFORMATION
..
The Office of Samoan Info rma tion
continued during fiscal year 1969 to
fill a need which the econom y of
American Samoa has not been a ble to
support on a commercia l basis. In adclition to its normal governmenta l public relations duties, the O ffice of
Samoan Information published th e
News Bulletin, a 5-clay-per-wee k Government newspaper with re ports frolll
United Press Internation a l as well as
local news. The office a lso continu ed
to operate radio station WVU V , which
has a power of 10,000 wa tts a nd se rves
the eastern portion of the South Pacific. The administration continu all y
explored the possibilities of handling
these responsibilities to commercia l
interests in order to remove the government from these fields . It is expected
that improvements in the territory's economy will bring this about
eventually.
During fiscal year 1969, efforts were
made to make the News Bulletin more
effective. One thousand extra copies
were printed daily and placed on
school lunch trucks for delivery to the
four high schools. These copies arrived
in time for use in the afternoon social
studies classes where students discussed
" today's n ews today" .
Station WVUV continued to be the
chi ef link of communications for areas

nouncements of public meetings and
wcial events. Every session of the legislature was broadcast by remote control. Remote broadcast of special
events, such as the Flag Day celebration a nd the arrival of the Apollo 10
ast ron auts, also were carried. The statio n also launched an ambitious plan
to ,-ecord a s much American Samoan
111usic as possible. The station manager
visited p ractically every village on
Tutuil a to make tapes of village singing g ro ups. T hese were used in regular
prog ra ming and plans were made to
n mke th em available to some appropri a tc cultural found a tion which can
preserve th em as th e collection rapidly
became the mos t complete assembly of
Samoa n music in existence.
Working with the hurricane warning station in Fiji and the Weather Bureau in American Samoa, the Office of
Samoan Information devised the first
disaster warning system which the territory has known on a formal basis. A
standard plan of relaying warning advisories to the people through WVUV,
which are coordinated with the Governor's office and other agencies, was
developed.
The Office of Samoan Information
is directed by a stateside information
officer and a stateside radio station
manager. The Newspaper Division employs four American Samoans and the
Radio Division employs four American
Samoa n announcers and one American
Samoan engineer.

PORT ADMINISTRATION
Pago Pago's scenic harbor continued
to be a major hub of transportation in
the South Pacific during fiscal year
1969, and strides were made in the government's effort to increase its efficiency. The Division of Harbor Crafts
and Inter-Island Water Transportation
were consolidated into what is now the
Water Transportation Division resulting a reduction of personnel by 10
employees.
In fisca l year 1968 the Govern ment
acquired th e $160,000 la unch M anusina. On August 6, 1968, the tug Tatoso
arrived from New Orleans and, for the
first time, the harbor had a vessel capable of docking ships of any size and
of performing salvage and rescue missions over a wide area. Steps were
taken to upgrade the entire government fleet. Already in service is a 26foot ferro-concrete launch. On order
and scheduled for delivery in the fall
of 1969 are two 55-foot tugs, purchased
at a cost of $80,000. They will be able
to perform all harbor work and will
carry general cargo and up to 25 passengers in interisland service. They will
have a range of 1,500 miles. Two
lighters have been purchased for approximately $23,000 and will be placed
in service with the tugs.
Continually throughout the year the
harbor vessels were busy. There were
310 mooring and unmooring operations accomplished for vessels of all
types. The Manusina made 35 trips
to the North Shore villages, 61 trips to
Manu'a, and fill ed 23 governme nt and
II priva le charters. Th e lu g Tot oso

to Canton Island to bring back govern.
ment surplus equipment. Other small
craft made 301 trips in support of gov.
ernment programs and made 169
charter trips. The old YF-340 made
four trips to Canton Island before be.
ing retired.
Transportation was made available
to Manu'a on a space·available basis.
In an effort to help the single com·
mercia! interisland line, whose one-way
fare is $6, government transportation
was provid ed with a one-way fare of
$8, but only after it had been determined that the private line could
not give reasonable service to the
passengers.
In July 1968, the Coast Guard removed from Pago Pago, the Cape
Providence. She was replaced in
February 1969 by a smaller vessel and
crew. During that period the Water
Transportation Division provided the
only sea-rescue service available over a
wide area. The Division also serviced
moorings, buoys and other facilities
normally cared for by the Coast Guard.
Imports through the port during fiscal year 1969 totaled 62,392 tons
valued at $12,220,099. That figure does
not include imports by the Government
of American Samoa. Exports for fiscal
year 1969 totaled 32,090 tons, a decrease from the 52,468 tons exported
during fiscal year 1968. This drop was
caused by a decline in th e fi shing operations of the oriental Oeets. Exports during- th e yea r were va lued a l

amounted to 1,388,311 pound s. Outgoing air freight totaled 120, 14 7
pounds. The airport was placed on a
revolving fund basis and landing fees
were increased to provid e for personnel, airport operations and minor
capital improvements including additions to the baggage handling a nd
cargo areas. The approval of service for
at least one other major carrier
brought a n eed for plans for expansion
of practically every phase of the airport
operation.
Port Administration continued to
operate the territory' s customs service.
During the fiscal year, 649 vessels were
entered and cleared and all in com ing
aircraft were checked.
Pago Pago's harbor, with a new customs warehouse, left, continued to be a m ajor hub in
South Pacific transportation.

PUBLIC WORKS
Major construction projects completed during the year included the
Eastern District High School and a
new transit warehouse. A new additional Marine Railway was constructed
under the supervision of the designer,
Crandall Engineering & Dry Dock Co.
of Cambridge, Mass. O ther completions included the Pago Pago Park
and Marina, elementary classrooms in
Aoa, Alofau, Pago Pago, Faga'alu,
Ili'ili, and Leone, the paving of the
cross-island road to Fagasa on the
north shore, and an extension of the
paved road to Tula in the Eastern
District.
Work on the second phase of the bay
area sewer system continued, and the
department pushed the development of
several local water systems financed
jointly by the government and the
participating villages. The Engineering Division placed emphasis on pot-
~!~
able water development and produced
plans which would give every village
treated water and sewer systems in 5
years if these projects could be funded.
The U.S. Geological Survey assisted
in a planning program and drilling was
started. Deep wells were sunk in Pago
Pago valley and a portable rig was
obtained to begin drilling wells for four
water systems in the Manu'a Islands.
Plans were completed for the conversion of the old hospital building to
a government office facility. This will
release floor space in government
buildings in Fagatogo for commercial
leases to local business firms.
All divisions continued to concentrate on on-the-job training and the
number of skilled workers in the territory was increased although some continued to leave the territory after
being trained.
PUBLIC SAFETY
The Police Division dealt with an increase in major crime during fiscal year
1969 over the previous year. Manslaughter increased from two to six,
rapes from eight to 12, aggravated assault from 63 to 70, and larceny from
42 to 51. The percentage of cases
cleared by arrest or otherwise was
clown 95.8 percent in fiscal year 1968
to 87 .6 percent in 1969. Motor vehicle
registrations showed an increase of 12.1
percent over the previous fiscal year,
reaching 1,923.
Although the traffic death toll decreased from 10 to seven, there were
increases in other aspects of traffic accident statistics:

AGRICULTURE
The return of the Apollo 10 astronauts via American Samoa brought in advance teams of
fire fighting specialists from Hawaii. They gave American Samoa's firemen training in
controlling airport blazes.
:~ · 1
With its limited land mass, growing
population and the increase in tourism,
the need for the people of American
Samoa to produce more through the
natural resources of the land and the
sea expands yearly and during fiscal
year 1969 the Department of Agriculture continued to develop programs to
meet that need:
The department is faced with problems such as the depletion of fish in the
inshore waters and the continualleach1ng of agriculture land by heavy rains.
Its goal has been to offset these problems by introducing modem agricultural methods and developing an offshore fishing operation which would
appeal to the people of the territory.
American Samoa is committed to participate in a proposed Bureau of Commercial Fisheries program to utilize
skipjack tuna. The department also
has made a concerted effort to encourage commercial farming. During fiscal
year 1969 it joined with the Office of
Samoan Affairs in promoting a mandatory planting program through the
village pulenu'us, or mayors. As a result, the plantings of ta'amu or giant
taro, bananas, tapioca, and sugar cane
rose. Taro, the territory's basic food,
showed a phenomenal planting increase of 88 percent over fiscal year
1968. This caused a drastic reduction
in importations of taro from Western
Samoa.
The department's seven extension
agents on Tutuila and the three in the
Manu'a group noted that many subsistence fa rmers an· joining- the comIII(TCial prodiH "(' I"S in 111 :1kin g- li S(' of
lwd >ir idC'S, JH 'S ii l'il il• l li i SJn .~ , HJ>I": I yn s,
and misters. A concentrated effort to
instill a knowledge of good farming
practices centered in the 4-H Clubs
for boys and girls who were given
training in farming and homemaking.
The youth groups raised funds for their
activities by growing and selling vegetables and pine seedlings.
Geographical and social limitations
continued to hamper commercial farming. The land survey, made in 1960,
indicated that only 28 percent of the
land in American Samoa is suitable
for farming because of steep slopes and
rocky soils. The matai system of land
control also frequently makes it difficult for a would-be farmer to secure
acreage.
During fiscal year 1968 the Department instituted a loan program
through the Bank of American Samoa
which proved successful. It was continu ed in fiscal year 1969 and expanded
to include banana farmers as well as
taro producers. Twenty-eight loans,
totaling $13,814, were made to 23 new
farmers and to four who had been
farming earlier. At the close of the fiscal
year the number of farmers who had
received .Joans under the program
totaled 53 and the number of loans
totaled 58. As the interest in commercial farming increased 13 American
Samoans went commercial on their
own. The number of commercial farmers had increased from eight in March
1968, to 67 in June 1969. Fifty-three
of them were cultivating about 103
acres of taro, 10 had about 13 acres of
ba na nas, six had 24 acres of vege table
n-o ps, thrc(' h a d :i ac res of pin e<~ ppli·,

''"
four had 1,400 layer hens and three
ha d 250 swine.
To ass ure the fledgling industry of
support, the department's Taputimu
and Ili'ili farms produced 65,650
pounds of taro which were sold in the
Fagatogo Market Place for 10 cents
per pound. Most of the taro was harvested before maturity so that the tops
could be sold to the farmers for seedlings. There were 548,000 taro tops
sold for this purpose. The department
also started two nurseries to provide
disease-free banana and coconut seedlings to commercial and subsistence
farmers . T he department continued to
ope ra te the Fagatogo M a rket P lace to
g ive fa rm ers a cl ean, co ntrolled outl et
for their produ ce. Fi sca l yea r 1969 saw
a reduction in prices cha rged beca use of
an in crease in volume offered . American Samoa's farmers sold 1,227,248
pounds of all types of produce at the
market in fiscal year 1969, a gain of 57
percent over the 799,995 pounds sold
there during fiscal year 1968.
Copra, the territory's only significant
export besides fish, brought American
Samoa's farmers a net profit of $55,406
for the year when 358 tons were
shipped to the United States in March
at a price of $185 per ton .
The department's Fisheries Division
continued a research program with
three-to-one matching funds from the
U .S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries,
but the program was extended because
no conclusion could be drawn on the
feasibility of a commercial fishing industry. The division also began a study
of available bait resources.
The department conducted conventional programs in the quarantine area.
All incoming produce was inspected at
the dock and in 116 cases condemnation orders were issued. The department continued to operate a low-cost
fumigation service for plants, mats,
tapa, kava roots, kapok, baskets, and
other items being exported to Western
Samoa, Tonga, the United States and
New Zealand.
In the area of training, an extension
specialist from Papua, New Guinea,
gave a 2-week course on extension techniques during a visit arranged by the
South Pacific Commission. Five staff
members took short courses at the EastWest Center. Supervisors of the depa rtment farms took part in the AsianPaciFtc Ban ana Culture Interchange in
New Sou th Wales, Australia, under the
a uspices of the East-West Center of
Honolulu.
An increased number of commercial and
subsistence farmers in American Samoa
turn to modern methods to con trol
banana diseases.
MARINE RAILWAY
The Marine Railway Division of
Public Works operates under a revolv. ing fund to provide repair and hau lout
services to vessels of the Government of
American Samoa and to fishin g fleet
vessels as well as other privately owned
.vessels. There are 119 employees, of
which 117 are American Samoans. An
a pprentice training program is part of
each branch as there is a lack of skilled
workmen in all trades.
The Shipfitting Branch is employed
in the scrubbing, sandblasting, chipping and painting of ship hulls, as well
as the rigging of tackle for heavy lifts
by the crane whenever these services
are required by other government organizations. The diving section is also
under the shipfitting supervisor and
this section performs services for private operators. The Engineering
Branch is responsible for the removing,
replacing of shafts, engines, etc., from
fishing fleet vessels, Port Administration and Agriculture Department vessels. In addition, Engineering performs
the maintenance on all welding machines and other equipment as used in
the operation of Marine Railway. The
Carpentry Shop was primarily engaged
in the replacement of planking, decking and interior wood work of fishing
a nd private vessels.
The Electri cal Branch engages in the
install ation and maintenance of the
elec trical i!"JStallations of vessels, includin g a ll trouble shooting and rewinding
of motors. The rewinding of motors
is a lso performed for other governmental departments and divisions
which may require this type of service.
The Welding Branch performs welding
and steel fabrication of all types for the
Construction and Maintenance and
Operations Divisions of Public Works,
as well as repairs to the fishing fleet vessels. Welding for private business and
individuals is also performed. Welding assistance was provided on every
major construction project.
The administrative branch was responsible for the cost accounting, timekeeping, stock card recording, and the
compiling of all other necessary records
to maintain good accounting control of
the entire division . This branch processed a total of 779 job orders from
other Government of American Samoa
departments, Federal agencies, private
parties, and other divisions of Department of Public Works. Of the 779 job
orders issued, 707 were completed during the fiscal year for a total sum of
$388,990.44. The remaining 72 job
orders have been scheduled for completion in the early part of fiscal year
1970.
