Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 1028 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to appropriate funds for a Model United Nations program for high school students.

Representative Helene Hale supported the bill. The Department of Education supported the intent of the bill.

Your committee finds that a Model United Nations Program would expose high school students to foreign policy. It would also teach them about leadership, diplomacy, and the globalization of the world.

Your committee has amended the bill by changing the appropriation to $1. This is to allow flexibility to the Committee on Finance.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1028, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance, in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1028, H.D. 1
