I wish they would only tell the truth about it.   It might be excessive
on their part but
I like to preserve myself.  I don't like the comments of 'the largest in
the world' - I find
that an out of place statement.  It overstates the facts.  It might be
on a species of coral.

It looks like a government power play to me.   Remember the Government
runs American Samoa
under a Governorship of sorts - an appointee.  I suspect big money is
going to build resorts...
from the form and informality of the announcement...

The government already owns 60+% of the US as it is and needs to back
off or trade
this for that.
