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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Culture and the Arts, to which was
referred H.B. No. 809 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE HALEIWA
     ARTS FESTIVAL,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill appropriates the sum of $10,000 to
the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts for the Haleiwa Arts
Festival.

     Testimony in support of this bill was submitted by the
Haleiwa Arts Festival Organization, residents of Haleiwa and
various business in Haleiwa.

     Your committee finds that the Haleiwa Arts Festival serves a
vital role in the arts community by promoting local artists in
all mediums.  The Festival also brings the community and
businesses together in organizing a world-class art festival,
which has resulted in increased awareness of the arts.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Culture and the Arts that is attached to this
report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose
of H.B. No. 809 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be
referred to the Committee on Finance.
