Democratic president Jimmy Carter signs the repeal of the provision in the 1862 Morrill anti-polygamy law which prohibits the church from owning more than $50,000 worth of real estate in U.S. territory. LDS leaders ask Congressmen to enact this as a protection for the LDS temple in American Samoa, yet one of the bill's Democratic co-sponsors is Roman Catholic Dennis Deconcini of New Mexico.
