RE:    S.R. No. 91

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Economic Development and Technology, to which was referred S.R. No. 91 entitled:

 

"SENATE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE STATE TO RECOGNIZING THE HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE FALLS OF CLYDE AS A SAILING JEWEL OF HAWAII,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to honor the historical importance of the Falls of Clyde in Hawaii's maritime history by requesting the State to recognize it as a sailing symbol of Hawaii.

 

     Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by the Department of Land and Natural Resources.  Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committee finds that the ocean and the maritime history surrounding the State have played a pivotal role in many of the cultures, traditions, and history that encompass the State.  Your Committee also finds that the role of the Falls of Clyde was vital in shaping maritime history in the State and thus the Falls of Clyde should be recognized as a sailing symbol of Hawaii.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purpose of clarity.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Development and Technology that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.R. No. 91, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as S.R. No. 91, S.D. 1.

 

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