The territorial governments, under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior, are not agencies or instrumentalities of the Executive branch of the Federal Government, although Congress has placed in the executive branch certain authorities and responsibilities toward these territorial governments. These authorities and responsibilities, which are different for individual governments, are vested in the Secretary of the Interior. An explanation of the several territories and the relationships of their governments to the Secretary of the Interior is given in subsequent chapters. In viewing these relationships, it must be kept in mind that the territorial governments are not organizational entities of the Department of the Interior. Territorial Histories Guam et. seq

Extractions: Shortly after World War II, and before 1952, the brown tree snake was accidentally transported from its native range in the South Pacific to Guam, probably as a stowaway in ship cargo. As a result of abnormally abundant prey resources on Guam and the absence of natural predators and other population controls, brown tree snake populations reached unprecedented numbers. Snakes caused the extirpation of most of the native forest vertebrate species; thousands of power outages affecting private, commercial, and military activities; widespread loss of domestic birds and pets; and considerable emotional trauma to residents and visitors alike when snakes invaded human habitats with the potential for severe envenomation of small children. Since Guam is a major transportation hub in the Pacific, numerous opportunities exist for the brown tree snakes on Guam to be introduced accidentally to other Pacific islands as passive stowaways in ship and air traffic from Guam.

Intelligent well-educated people have been disagreeing for thousands of years; rarely does it make either side completly wrong. Posted by randy at 01:27 PM April 15, 2004 US Territories in the News The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands is in the news for threatening air travel in the North Pacific. More specifically, the Anatahan Volcano is spewing smoke and creating a possible navigation hazard. Posted by randy at 10:20 PM Coincidence? I have been reading The Last Full Measure by Jeffrey M. Shaara. I finished the book yesterday, and the second to last chapter includes a mention of Abraham Lincoln's death. Strangely I read that chapter on the 139th anniversary of the President's death.

Extractions: The political units and divisions of the United States include the several states , which units are typically divided into counties and townships , and incorporate cities villages towns , and other types of municipality, and other autonomous or subordinate public authorities and institutions; and the federal state, which unit is the United States as a collective of the several states, and as it exercises exclusive jurisdiction over the federal district , and the commonwealths territories , and possessions of the United States, as well as Indian Reservations military installations , and American embassies and consulates located in foreign countries; and such quasi-political divisions as conservation districts and school districts , which are usually just special, geographically designated subordinate public authorities. The primary political unit of the United States after the federal state is the state . Technically and legally, states are not "divisions" but units of the United States, because the United States and the several states that constitute it operate with a uniquely American system of parallel sovereignty. According to numerous decisions of the United States Supreme Court, the several states and the United States (that is, the federal state which is coextensive with the 50 several states and the District of Columbia) are sovereign jurisdictions. The sovereignty of the United States is strictly limited to the terms of the United States Constitution, whereas the sovereignty of each individual state is unlimited, except in two respects: 1. The sovereignty and powers that each state has transferred to the United States via the United States Constitution, and 2. The provisions of its own constitution, which usually (but not always) sets certain parameters for the exercise of the state's sovereignty.

On this page: Wikipedia Mentioned In Or search: - The Web - Images - News - Blogs - Shopping incorporated territory Wikipedia incorporated territory An incorporated territory of the United States is a specific area under the jurisdiction of the United States, over which the United States Congress has determined that the United States Constitution is to be applied in its entirety, in the same manner as it applies to the individual U.S. states . In contrast, an unincorporated territory is an area under U.S. jurisdiction, to which Congress has determined that only select parts of the U.S. Constitution apply. Incorporated territories, therefore, are considered an integral part of the United States, as opposed to being merely possessions. The term "incorporated" in this sense does not refer to the act of creating a civil government entity (e.g. a city or a town). Incorporation as it applies to territories is regarded as a permanent condition. Once incorporated, an incorporated territory can no longer be de-incorporated; that is, it can never be excluded from the jurisdiction of the United States Constitution. Most of the historic territories of the United States, including all the ones that eventually became U.S. states, were incorporated
