STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3086

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    H.C.R. No. 18

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Public Safety, Government Operations, and Military Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 18 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING HAWAII'S CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION TO SUPPORT THE EFFORTS OF THE NATIONAL WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM TO SECURE A PERMANENT HOME IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to request Hawaii's Congressional delegation to support the efforts of the National Women's History Museum to secure a permanent home in the nation's capital.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women and two individuals. 

 

     Your Committee finds that the National Women's History Museum, founded in 1996, is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, educational institution dedicated to preserving, interpreting, and celebrating the diverse historic contributions of women, and integrating the heritage of women fully into this nation's history.  The National Women's History Museum seeks a site on or close to the National Mall and in close proximity to the White House and United States Capitol Building.  The National Women's History Museum will showcase the full history of women in the United States and the contributions they have made and continue to make in the marketplace, arts and sciences, government, entertainment, education, home, and community.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety, Government Operations, and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 18, and recommends its adoption.

 

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