                                   RE:  S.C.R. No. 203
                                        S.D. 2




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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred
S.C.R. No. 203, S.D. 1, entitled:

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE OFFICE OF
     HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS TO MAKE AN APPROPRIATION TO FUND HISTORICAL
     SIGNAGE FOR THE KING KAMEHAMEHA I STATUE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this Concurrent Resolution is to request the
Office of Hawaiian Affairs to make an appropriation to fund
historical signage for the King Kamehameha I statue.

     Your Committee finds that the area around the King
Kamehameha statue lacks adequate signage to inform visitors and
residents alike about the significance of Hawaii's first king's
contributions.  This is a shame, as the statue itself is well
made and admired by many.  It stands in an area frequented by
tourists, conventioneers, joggers, and others who pass by and
wonder at its significance.  Honolulu is a world-renowned place
where the addition of the King Kamehameha statue should be more
than another curiosity.

     Your Committee has amended this Concurrent Resolution:

     (1)  To ask the Legislature to establish a historical
          district committee to study the design and cost of the
          statue and make recommendations for changes to the

          Historical District, with a report to the Senate
          Committee on Water, Land and Hawaiian Affairs before
          the regular legislative session of 2000;

     (2)  Added that a copy of the Concurrent Resolution be send
          to the arts program specialist of the King Kamehameha
          celebration commission; and

     (3)  Changed some whereas clauses to reflect the new
          emphasis of this Concurrent Resolution.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your
Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 203,
S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the
form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 203, S.D. 2.

                                 Respectfully submitted on behalf
                                 of the members of the Committee
                                 on Ways and Means,
