Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Culture and the Arts, to which was
referred S.C.R. No. 58 entitled:

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE STATE FOUNDATION ON
     CULTURE AND ARTS AND THE OFFICE OF HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS TO WORK
     EXPEDITIOUSLY WITH HALAU HALOA, THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF
     HAWAIIAN PERFORMING ARTS, TO COMPLETE THE PLANNING FOR THE
     EIGHTH PACIFIC FESTIVAL OF ARTS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to ask the
State Foundation on Culture and the Arts (SFCA) and the Office of
Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) to work with Halau Haloa, the National
Academy of Hawaiian Perfoming Arts, to complete the planning for
the eighth Pacific Festival of Arts.

     Testimony in support of this measure was received from SFCA;
Halau Haloa; the Ewa Beach Community Association; Pohal Na Pua O
Laka; Waianae Hawaiian Civic Club; Kuhaihalau Pa Olapa Kahiko;
Hala Hana Keaka; Ilioulaokalani Coalition; Halau O Kekuhi; the
World Invitational Hula Festival; Halau Hula O Mililani, Ka Lahui
Hawaii; the Hawaii Academy of Arts, Music, and Dance; and several
individuals.

     Your Committee finds that the Pacific Festival of Arts is a
great opportunity to showcase Hawaii's traditional native artists
and artisans. With the support of SFCA and OHA working together
with Halau Haloa, Hawaii will be well represented at the eighth
annual Pacific Festival of Arts.
