                                 RE: H.R. No. 153
                                     




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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred
H.R. No. 153 entitled:

     "HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII TO
     EXPEDITE CONSTRUCTION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII WEST OAHU
     CAMPUS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this resolution is to request the University
of Hawaii to expedite construction of the University of Hawaii
West Oahu campus.

     Your Committee finds that prior legislation requires
construction of the campus to commence by December 31, 2006.
Your Committee further finds that the university anticipates
having all plan approvals and entitlements secured by 2001.  Your
Committee believes that expediting construction of the campus
will benefit the higher educational needs of the growing West
Oahu community and provide an economic stimulus in general to
West Oahu.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Higher Education that is attached to this report,
your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No.
153, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on
Finance.
