Sir:

Your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs, to which was referred H.R. No. 20 entitled:

"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THAT THE UNITED STATES NAVY TRANSFER THE U.S.S. HOGA TO THE HOGA PRESERVATION SOCIETY FOR PLACEMENT IN HAWAII AS A PERMANENT MEMORIAL TO THE SECOND WORLD WAR AND TO THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN WHO FOUGHT AND DIED TO PRESERVE OUR FREEDOM,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this House Resolution is to request the United States Navy to transfer the U.S.S. Hoga to the Hoga Preservation Society for placement in Hawaii as a permanent memorial to the Second World War and to the brave men and women who fought and died to preserve our freedom.

The Tugboat Hoga Preservation Society rose in strong support of this measure. The Hawaii State Department of Defense submitted written testimony in support of this measure.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 20 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs,
