RE: H.C.R. No. 115

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Economic Development and Business Concerns, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 115 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE PACIFIC BASIN ECONOMIC COUNCIL AND ENCOURAGING EFFORTS TO HOLD THE 34TH INTERNATIONAL GENERAL MEETING IN HAWAII,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to support the Pacific Basic Economic Council (PBEC) and its efforts to hold the 34th International General Meeting (IGM) in Honolulu.

PBEC and the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism testified in support of this measure.

Your Committee finds that the IGM attracts over 700 business leaders, government ministers, and heads of state. The focus of IGM is to look to the future for a better understanding of the effect of globalization on various organizations and industries. Your Committee believes that holding the IGM in Honolulu will help to establish Hawaii as an ideal place to conduct international business.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Development and Business Concerns that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 115 and recommends its adoption.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Development and Business Concerns,
