State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Economic Development, to which was
referred S.C.R. No. 51 entitled:

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF
     ENTREPRENEURIAL PATHWAYS FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH INTO THE NEW
     MILLENNIUM,"

begs leave to report as follows:
     
     The purpose of this measure is to request the Department of
Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to conduct a
comprehensive assessment of Hawaii's strategic environmental,
human, and technological resources and capabilities to support
economic growth into the new millennium.

     Your Committee received comments on this measure from the
Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism.

     Your Committee finds that the approaching century presents
unique opportunities for states such as Hawaii to develop new
approaches for economic growth.  Your Committee believes a range
of alternatives should be assessed in order to enhance and
promote Hawaii's strategic assets.

     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. 51, and recommends that it be referred to the
Committee on Ways and Means.
