Campaign website[edit]

Much of the biographical information on Savali was taken from his campaign website, so I tried to keep the article as impartial as possible. There is one part that appears to be a descrpency. His campaign website states that he was the delegate from American Samoa to the United States House of Representatives from 1981 until 1985, "From 1981 to 1985, he served as the American Samoa Congressional Delegate to the U.S. Congress in Washington, D.C." [1]

However, the Official Biographical Directory of the United States Congress states that Fofó Iosefa Fiti Sunia was the Delegate to the United States House of Representatives from American Samoa from "January 3, 1981, until his resignation on September 6, 1988." The link to that site is here [2].

Therefore I did not include claims that Savali was a delegate to the US House in this article. Scanlan (talk) 16:48, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
