                                 RE: H.B. No. 921
                                     




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Water and Land Use, to which was referred
H.B. No. 921 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR THE KAENA POINT
     COASTAL RESERVE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to appropriate funds to the
Department of Land and Natural Resources for the Kaena Point
Coastal Reserve.  

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this bill
from the Board of Land and Natural Resources, Office of Hawaiian
Affairs, Life of the Land, and two private citizens.  

     Your Committee finds that the Kaena Point Coastal Reserve is
one of the priority areas for the Department of Land and Natural
Resources, with natural and cultural resources at risk and
communities willing to participate.  

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Water and Land Use that is attached to this report,
your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B.
No. 921 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be
referred to the Committee on Finance.
