                                   RE:  S.R. No. 52
                                        




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 Education and Technology, to which was referred S.R.
No. 52 entitled:

     "SENATE RESOLUTION URGING SUPPORT FOR THE DOCUMENTARY FILM
     "AN UNTOLD TRIUMPH" AND FOR THE STATE FOUNDATION ON CULTURE
     AND THE ARTS TO ASSIST COMPLETION OF THE FILM PROJECT BY
     PROVIDING FUNDS,"

beg leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of the measure is to urge support for the
completion of the documentary film "An Untold Triumph," and for
the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts to assist with the
completion.

     Testimony in support of the measure was received from the
project coordinator chaplain, Post 1572 VFW.  Testimony
recommending the measure be held was received from the State
Foundation on Culture and the Arts, and testimony in opposition
to the measure was received from a citizen.

     Your Committees acknowledge and recognize the deeds and
sacrifices the Filipino men made during the war and the role they
played in helping to win back the Philippines and end World War
II.  Your Committees find that the completion of this project
would fill the void in the historical legacy of Filipino
Americans in World War II, and place the film in educational
institutions around the country as well as before a vast
television audience.
