State of Hawaii

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

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. 552, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR A KOREAN WAR MUSEUM,"

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 appropriate moneys to the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism (DBEDT) for the establishment of a national Korean War Museum in Hawaii to pay tribute to our Korean War veterans.

Your Committee finds that many residents of Hawaii valiantly served their country during the Korean War, and many relatives of those who served have been greatly effected by the War.

 

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Changing the type of matching fund sources from "federal government or private" to "federal government and other";

(2) Inserting $5,000 into the appropriation amount; and

(3) Correcting the fiscal year of appropriation and effective date.

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. 552, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 552, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE
