PAGO PAGO, American Samoa - American Samoa's delegate to the U.S. Congress
is calling for an investigation into the death of a baby at Honolulu
International Airport.

Delegate Eni Faleomavaega has asked the Department of Homeland Security to
begin an investigation into death of 14-day-old Michael Tony Futi last
Friday.

The baby had been flown to Honolulu for emergency heart surgery. He died
while detained inside a customs' room at the Honolulu airport with his
mother and a nurse.

A lawyer for the family announced plans to sue the federal government over
the baby's death.

Faleomavaega called for the probe in a letter issued to Homeland Security
chief Michael Chertoff.
