  Mr. FALEOMAVAEGA. Madam Speaker, I submit the following message of 
support from House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer in response to the 
massive tsunami that struck American Samoa on Tuesday, September 29, 
2009:

       I want to offer my deepest sympathy to all those in 
     American Samoa and Samoa who lost loved ones in this terrible 
     tragedy. We are all saddened by the loss of life and the 
     scope of damage done. Our thoughts are with Eni Faleomavaega, 
     American Samoa's delegate to the House of Representatives, 
     and we will keep him and everyone affected in our prayers.

                          ____________________
