Sir:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 224, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR PINEAPPLE RESEARCH,"

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

The purpose of this measure is to make an appropriation for pineapple research.

Your Committee finds that due to the importance of Hawaii's pineapple industry to Hawaii's agriculture industry and overall economy, further support of pineapple research is warranted. The appropriation provided by this measure will help with the funding of ongoing and new pineapple research.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Appropriating $39,000 for each year of the fiscal biennium; and

(2) Making technical nonsubstantive changes for the purposes of clarity and style.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 224, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 224, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE
