                                 RE: S.C.R. No. 3
                                     S.D. 1




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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs, to
which was referred S.C.R. No. 3, S.D. 1, entitled:

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION SUPPORTING APPROVAL OF THE
     FORD ISLAND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT BY THE U.S. CONGRESS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the
United States Congress to approve the Ford Island Development
Project.

     The Chamber of Commerce, the Hawaii Building and
Construction Trades Council, AFL-CIO, the Pacific Resource
Partnership, the Hawaii Business Roundtable, and the Plumbers &
Pipefitters Union Local 675 testified in support of this measure.

     Your Committee finds that the Ford Island Development
Project is a $600 million construction plan that, if approved,
will be a significant economic boost to Hawaii's faltering
construction industry and the overall economy of the State.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs that is attached
to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and
purpose of S.C.R. No. 3, S.D. 1, and recommends that it be
referred to the Committee on Finance.
