STAND. COM. REP. 3362

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2004

RE: S.R. No. 7

S.D. 1

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations, to which was referred S.R. No. 7 entitled:

"SENATE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES TO REPEAL THE PASSENGER SERVICES ACT OF 1886,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request the United States Congress to repeal the Passenger Services Act of 1886.

Prior to holding a hearing on this measure, a proposed S.D. 1 was prepared and made available for public review. In that form, it requests the Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS) to design and erect an attractive and appropriate signage for the Korean Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the grounds of the State Capitol.

Testimony in support of this measure was received from DAGS.

The Korean Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a monument to those military personnel who lost their lives or are missing in action in the Korean and Vietnam wars. The Memorial is also an attraction for visitors to the State Capitol grounds. The Memorial deserves to have conspicuous dignified signage. Your Committee finds that testimony of the Comptroller indicated that DAGS will work closely with the Department of Defense and the Office of Veterans Services to coordinate signage efforts.

Your Committee has amended the measure by adopting the changes proposed in the S.D. 1.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.R. No. 7, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as S.R. No. 7, S.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations,
