STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1464

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE:    S.C.R. No. 10

       S.D. 1

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

Madam:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 10, S.D. 1, entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING HAWAII'S CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION TO SEEK FEDERAL FUNDING TO MATCH STATE FUNDS TO SUPPORT PUBLIC WORKS OF ART HONORING THE LATE SENATOR DANIEL K. INOUYE AND THE LATE REPRESENTATIVE PATSY T. MINK,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to urge Hawaii's congressional delegation to seek matching federal funds for state appropriations honoring the late Senator Daniel K. Inouye and late Representative Patsy T. Mink through public works of art.

     Your Committee finds that commissioning works of art to honor the legacy and contributions of the late Senator Inouye and late Representative Mink will perpetuate their legacies and inspire future generations.  Urging Hawaii's congressional delegation to procure matching federal funds will help fund the expected high cost of commissioning the works of art, including the creation of permanent sculptures.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 10, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
