                                   RE:  S.C.R. No. 18
                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committees on Transportation and Intergovernmental
Affairs and Government Operations and Housing, to which was
referred S.C.R. No. 18 entitled:

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING MILITARY AND FEDERAL
     AGENCIES TO HONOR THE DEFINITION OF STATE RESIDENT FOR
     CONTRACTS,"

beg leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to urge military and federal
agencies to honor the definition of state resident for contracts.

     Testimony in support of the measure was received from the
Chamber of Commerce and American Friends for Service Committee.

     Your Committee finds that the decline in the construction
and service industries has contributed towards the state
unemployment rate rising above the national unemployment rate,
and that many of Hawaii's construction and service industry
workers have experienced difficulty in finding employment in
their regular trade.  This measure proposes to improve employment
opportunities for local residents.

     Your Committee has amended the measure by clarifying that
the reference to section 8078 is from the Federal Defense
Appropriations Act of 1986.    

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your
Committees on Transportation and Intergovernmental Affairs and

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
