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. 275 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to encourage the use of meaningful dialogue and negotiations through the United Nations to bring about a peaceful resolution between the United States and Iran in dealing with the reported abilities of Iran to produce weapons-grade uranium to create nuclear weapons.

Several concerned individuals supported this concurrent resolution.

Your Committee finds that the President of the United States should continue to resolve this nuclear proliferation issue with the collective pressure and action of our allies and friends. Military action must be reserved as an action of absolute last resort and only to protect our domestic territory.

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. 275 and recommends its adoption.
