                                   RE:  S.C.R. No. 102
                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred
S.C.R. No. 102, S.D. 1, entitled:

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE UNITED STATES NAVY
     TO PROVIDE A BRIEFING ON THE FUTURE WORKLOAD PLANS FOR PEARL
     HARBOR NAVAL SHIPYARD,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to request the United States
Navy to brief the Legislature and community business leaders on
the future work load plans for the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard.

     Furthermore, this measure also requests the United States
Navy to increase the workload and employment in Pearl Harbor
Naval Shipyard to utilize the full capacity of the Hawaiian ship
repair industry.

     Your Committee finds the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard has
been significantly downsized over the last ten years.  The Pearl
Harbor Naval Shipyard has sustained reductions in its resident
civilian work force and in the number of ships and submarines
based there.

     Your Committee nonetheless finds that the Pearl Harbor Naval
Shipyard has initiated the practice of meeting work demands
through the hiring of out-of-state workers.  Your Committee is

 
a                                                     SCR102 SD1

accordingly concerned that the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard is
underutilizing human resources available locally.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your
Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 102,
S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.

                                 Respectfully submitted on behalf
                                 of the members of the Committee
                                 on Ways and Means,
