     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination of Jack Suyderhoud from the Department of Taxation.

 

     Upon review of the testimony and the nominee's qualifications, your Committee finds that the nominee has demonstrated leadership as Director of the University of Hawaii at Manoa Shidler College of Business Master of Business Administration program, in addition to his prior service as Executive Director of the State's Tax Review Commission and professor of business economics at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.  Your Committee further finds that Mr. Suyderhoud's extensive knowledge of economics, quantitative methods, and tax incentives on foreign investment qualify him to continue to serve as a member of the Council on Revenues.

     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, after full consideration of the background, experience, and qualifications of the nominee, has found the nominee to be qualified for the position to which nominated and recommends that the Senate advise and consent to the nomination.
