Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Economic Development, to which was
referred S.C.R. No. 163 entitled:

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION DESIGNATING THE ALA WAI CANAL
     AS THE INTERNATIONAL HOME OF HAWAIIAN OUTRIGGER CANOE
     PADDLING AND TRAINING,"

begs leave to report as follows:
     
     The purpose of this measure is to designate the Ala Wai
Canal as the international home of Hawaiian outrigger canoe
paddling and training.

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Ala Wai Canal Watershed Improvement Project Advisory
Committee.

     Your Committee finds that the Ala Wai Canal Advisory
Committee consists of fifty-three community representatives,
committed to improving the Ala Wai watershed through partnering
efforts with federal, State, and city agencies under a managed
grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.  Your
Committee finds that this measure supports those efforts of the
Ala Wai community to ensure that the Ala Wai Canal continues to
benefit recreational users.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Economic Development that is attached to this
report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of
S.C.R. No. 163, and recommends its adoption.
