Acknowledgments

The 2005 Statistical Yearbook is the twenty-sixth annual publication of compendia, detailing both historical and current economic and social characteristics of the Territory. The yearbook serves not only as a summary of aggregated statistics about American Samoa, but also as a guide to source references of data and detailed subject-matters not covered in this publication.

I like to commend the many government agencies (both local and federal), private businesses, and individuals who have contributed diligently in making this publication possible.

I hope that users of this book will find its contents useful and informative. I welcome comments and suggestions for improving the Statistical Yearbook series.
