The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the University of Hawaii Board of Regents to name the Komohana Research and Extension Center in honor of Tadashi Higaki.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Higher Education that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 258, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 258, H.D. 1.
