"During the trusteeship period, the United States has had the power to apply federal laws in the Northern Mariana Islands, but has done so only to a limited extent. The negotiators of the Covenant, however, intended that the Northern Mariana Islands be brought into a closer relationship with the United States than existed under the trusteeship and, accordingly, that more federal laws apply in the Northern Mariana Islands. ... This report thus continues a tradition of examining closely the application of federal laws to those parts of the American political family that for reasons of size, distance, or cultural tradition are not full participants in our political processes"--Page i/ii.
