Sir:
Your Committees on Tourism and Culture and Public Safety and Military Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1479 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR A NATIONAL KOREAN WAR MUSEUM IN HAWAII,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to appropriate $20,000 for the establishment of a National Korean War Museum in Hawaii, provided that funds from the federal government, the South Korean government, Korean and United States corporations, as well as citizens from Hawaii and other states amount to $2 for every $1 of state funds.
The Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii and a concerned citizen supported this bill. The Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism and the Office of Veterans Services supported the intent of this bill.
Your Committees have amended this measure by changing the appropriation amount to $1 to further discussion on this bill. Other technical, nonsubstantive amendments were made for purposes of style and clarity.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Tourism and Culture and Public Safety and Military Affairs that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1479, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1479, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
