Farrow/WHO/EOP on 06/02/99 05:09 PM Jeffrey L. Farrow 06/02/99 05:08:27 PM Record Type: Record To: Lynn G. Cutler/WHO/EOP@EOP, Fred DuVal/WHO/EOP@EOP, McGavock D. Reed/OMB/EOP@EOP, Daniel N. Mendelson/OMB/EOP@EOP CC: Janet Murguia/WHO/EOP@EOP, Erica R. Morris/WHO/EOP@EOP, Mickey Ibarra/WHO/EOP@EOP Subject: Guam&Samoa in Asian/Pacific Islander EO Why doesn't the draft definition of a Pacific Islander specify the territories of Guam and Samoa? Sens. Inouye and Akaka also suggested it do so. Cong. Underwood of Guam can live with other pacific islands within the jurisdiction of the U.S. but wanted Guam specified. I haven't checked with Cong. Faleomavaega but can guess his view. Is there a reason not to Give Guam and Samoa this recognition?
