                                 RE: H.R. No. 71
                                     




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which
was referred H.R. No. 71 entitled:

     "HOUSE RESOLUTION COMMEMORATING THE CENTENNIAL OF THE
     ORGANIC ACT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this resolution is to commemorate the
centennial anniversary of the passage of the Organic Act, and to
encourage all members of the House of Representatives and the
Senate of the Twentieth Legislature of the State of Hawaii to
gather with the Native Hawaiian community at Iolani Palace on
April 30, 2000, to celebrate the occasion.

     Testimony in support of this resolution was received from
Hawaiian Political Action Council of Hawaii, and concerned
individuals.

     Your Committee finds that this resolution will serve as a
reminder to the United States Congress of its involvement in the
creation of the Organic Act.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to
this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose
of H.R. No. 71, and recommends its adoption.
