STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1479

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2004

RE: H.R. No. 88

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.R. No. 88 entitled:

"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER FOR THE BUREAU OF U.S. CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES TO REOPEN DUNCAN HAMILTON'S REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF HIS E-2 NONIMMIGRANT TREATY INVESTOR STATUS AND FOR HIS TWO DAUGHTERS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this resolution is to request the Director of the California Service Center for the Bureau of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to reopen Duncan Hamilton's request for the extension of his E-2 non-immigrant treaty investor status and those of his two daughters and to approve his extension request.

A concerned individual testified in support of the resolution.

Your Committee finds that the unfortunate turn of events for the Hamilton family that may result in Mr. Hamilton's deportation would be a loss for the upcountry Maui community.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 88 and recommends its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
