STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1322-06

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2006

RE: H.C.R. No. 243

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on International Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 243 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION CONDEMNING THE GENOCIDE IN WESTERN SUDAN AND URGING CONGRESS WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE PRESIDENT TO ENGAGE THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY TO TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE OF DARFUR,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to condemn the horrible practice of ethnic cleansing which is taking place at this time in Darfur and to urge that the United States (U.S.) take action to protect those in danger.

A concerned individual supported this concurrent resolution.

Your Committee finds that more needs to be done to stop the genocide being committed in Darfur. Those who are unable to protect themselves from this horrific tragedy need the assistance of the U.S.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on International Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 243 and recommends its adoption.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on International Affairs,
