FALEOMAVAEGA INVITES PUBLIC WITH PASSPORT AND ONE-PARENT PROBLEMS TO SEE HIS STAFF

Congressman Faleomavaega is inviting all members of the public experiencing difficulties in obtaining U.S. passports to come to the Congressman's office in Utulei and seek assistance from his staff.

"Anyone having passport problems, including one-parent applicants, should come to my Utulei office for assistance," said Faleomavaega. "The Regional Director of the Honolulu Passport Agency has been in American Samoa and provided excellent training and briefings for my staff. Working with attorneys on my Washington staff, we are now fully prepared to assist those in need," added Faleomavaega.

"I want to thank Nancy K. Finn, of the U.S. Passport Agency, for her willingness to come to American Samoa and meet with my staff. I believe this training will be of tremendous benefit to our community," concluded Faleomavaega.
