STAND. COM. REP. NO.  993-10

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2010

 

RE:   H.R. No. 67

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.R. No. 67 entitled:

 

"HOUSE RESOLUTION URGING THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES AND COMMANDER OF HICKAM AIR FORCE BASE TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE FORT KAMEHAMEHA WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this resolution is to urge the United States Congress and Commander of Hickam Air Force Base to rename the Fort Kamehameha Wastewater Treatment Plant.

 

     Several concerned individuals testified in support of this resolution.

 

     A concern was raised that the wording used in the resolution, specifically, the use of the phrase "fulfilling his divine right" to describe King Kamehameha I's uniting of all the inhabited islands of Hawaii in the early 1800's, may not be entirely appropriate, given that "divine right" is a western concept.  Therefore, your Committee respectfully requests the introducer of this resolution to clarify this reference in the subsequent committee, if necessary.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 67 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Hawaiian Affairs,
