RE:   H.C.R. No. 157

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2008

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Water, Land, Ocean Resources & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 157 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII TO DRAFT A FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN FOR A GRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAM IN CULTURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII AT HILO,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the University of Hawaii to draft a five-year strategic plan for a graduate degree program in cultural resource management at the University of Hawaii-Hilo.

 

     The University of Hawaii System and Society for Hawaiian Archaeology supported this concurrent resolution. 

 

     Your Committee finds that a graduate degree program in cultural resource management at the University of Hawaii-Hilo would increase the resources necessary to strengthen the historic preservation program in our state.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, Ocean Resources & Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 157 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, Ocean Resources & Hawaiian Affairs,
