                                 RE: H.C.R. No. 136
                                     




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.C.R. No. 136 entitled: 

     "HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION ENCOURAGING THE RESTORATION OF
     MOKU'ULA AND LOKO O MOKUHINIA,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this resolution is to encourage the
restoration of Moku'ula and Loko O Mokuhinia.  

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this
resolution from one state representative.  

     Your Committee finds that Moku'ula and Loko O Mokuhinia
served as the home and retreat for many alii up to the time of
Kamehameha V, and many significant figures in Hawaii history were
laid to rest at Moku'ula.  The site currently includes a park,
and a restoration project can proceed with minimal disruption.  

     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 concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No.
136, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on
Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Water and Land
                                   Use,



                                   ______________________________
                                   Romy M. Cachola, Chair
