                                   RE:  S.C.R. No. 109
                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred
S.C.R. No. 109, S.D. 1, entitled:

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE RELOCATION OF
     THE QUEEN LILI`UOKALANI STATUE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this Concurrent Resolution is to request that
steps be taken to plan for the relocation of the Queen
Lili`uokalani statue.

     Your Committee finds that Hawaii's unique status as the only
state in the Union to have royal rulers in its past requires re-
examination of the placement of the statue of one of its most
illustrious rulers, Queen Lili`uokalani.  As Hawaii's last ruling
queen before the takeover of Hawaii by the United States, she
stands as a symbol of Hawaii's history.

     Your Committee finds that after more than fifteen years in
its present location, it is time to relocate the statue as the
commission might see fit, based on criteria it raises and
examines.  Relocation could give the statue a more regal place in
its physical environment in relation to the governmental
buildings in Honolulu.

     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. 109,
S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.

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