          at Maili Elementary School associated with the farmland

     (3)  Is titled, "REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND THE
          DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE TO TAKE MEASURES TO MITIGATE
          THE INFESTATION OF FLIES, UNPLEASANT ODORS, INUNDATION
          BY DUST, AND SEVERE DRAINAGE PROBLEMS AT MAILI
          ELEMENTARY SCHOOL."

     Several individuals supported this concurrent resolution.
The DOE and the Board of Agriculture supported the intent of this
concurrent resolution.

     Upon further consideration, your Committee has amended the
proposed draft of this concurrent resolution by:

     (1)  Adding problems with dust to the issues to be dealt
          with by DOH and DOA at Maili Elementary School; and

     (2)  Adding the Superintendent of Education to the list of
          persons to which the concurrent resolution is to be
          transmitted.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your
Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 123,
as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form
attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 123, H.D. 1.

                                   Committee on Education,
