Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 19, H.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the board of land and natural resources to issue a long-term lease for the marine fuel facility premises at Ala Wai small boat harbor to provide continued fueling services to the boating public at that location.
