                                   RE:  S.R. No. 6
                                        




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Transportation and Intergovernmental
Affairs, to which was referred S.R. No. 6 entitled:

     "SENATE RESOLUTION SUPPORTING A MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM FOR
     HAWAII,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this Resolution is to support the efforts of
the United States Congress to establish an effective defense
against the possibility of a missile attack.

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the measure
from the state Department of Defense.

     Your Committee finds that Hawaii's strategic location and
geographical isolation makes it an important target and
therefore, an effective missile defense system is very important
to Hawaii.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Transportation and Intergovernmental Affairs that is
attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent
and purpose of S.R. No. 6, and recommends its adoption.
