Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 114, H.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to appropriate $300,000 for fiscal year 2005-2006, for the construction of a Waipahu centennial memorial.

A concerned individual testified in support of the bill. The Department of Defense and Office of Veteran Services testified in support of the bill's intent.

Your Committee finds the construction of a Waipahu centennial memorial as a fitting tribute to the veterans who lost their lives in World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, and Operation Desert Storm.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 114, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
