Honorable Norman Mizuguchi

Sir:

     Your Committee on Transportation and Intergovernmental
Affairs, to which was referred S.R. No. 61 entitled:

     "SENATE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF
     TRANSPORTATION TO EXPAND THE CAPACITY OF THE CENTRAL H-1
     FREEWAY CORRIDOR,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of the measure is to request the Department of
Transportation to expand the capacity of the central H-1 freeway
corridor.

Department of Transportation, McCully-Moilili Neighborhood Board

proportions.  Your Committee commends the Department of
Transportation for its current efforts at solving the problems
and encourages the department to continue its efforts to expand
the capacity of the corridor.   

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
