RE:    H.C.R. No. 130

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committees on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs and Ways and Means, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 130 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING CONGRESS TO SUPPORT THE CONSTRUCTION OF A WAR IN THE PACIFIC MEMORIAL AT THE PEARL HARBOR VISITOR CENTER,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to urge Congress to support the construction of a War in the Pacific Memorial at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center to honor those who fought the battles of World War II in the Pacific, with a special tribute to those who sacrificed their lives in the conflicts.

 

     Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from the Honolulu Navy League and one individual.

 

     Your Committees find that a War in the Pacific Memorial would recognize and honor individuals who fought in World War II battles across the Pacific, including the more than 100,000 soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the conflicts.  Your Committees further find that a War in the Pacific Memorial at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center will help educate the public about the battles in the Pacific during World War II.

 

     Your Committees have amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments to the title; and

 

     (2)  Making other technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs and Ways and Means that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 130, as amended herein, and recommend its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 130, S.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs and Ways and Means,
