Sir:

     Your Committee on Veterans, Military, & International Affairs, & Culture and the Arts, to which was referred H.R. No. 83 entitled:

"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE GOVERNOR TO RENAME A SECTION OF KAPULE HIGHWAY IN THE COUNTY OF KAUA‘I AS THE KAUA‘I VETERANS MEMORIAL HIGHWAY,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to provide a tangible, permanent reminder of the sacrifice, dedication, and service of the men and women of the United States Armed Forces by requesting the Governor to take all necessary action to rename and designate the section of Kapule Highway from Rice Street to Ahukini Road in the County of Kaua‘i as the Kaua‘i Veterans Memorial Highway and requesting the Department of Transportation to provide and maintain the appropriate signage.

The Office of Veterans' Services and a concerned individual supported this measure.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Veterans, Military, & International Affairs, & Culture and the Arts that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 83 and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Transportation.
