STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3236
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: H.C.R. No. 174
Honorable Colleen Hanabusa
President of the Senate
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2010
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 174 entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA TO SELECT A LOCATION IN HAWAII AS THE SITE FOR HIS PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to urge President Barack Obama to select a location in Hawaii as the site of his presidential library.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and three individuals. Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.
Barack Obama, the forty-fourth President of the United States, was born and raised in Hawaii. It is a matter of great state pride that President Obama is the first Hawaii-born citizen to hold that high office. A presidential library in Hawaii would provide the people of Hawaii with access to the documents and artifacts of the Obama administration and a significant piece of our nation's history.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 174, and recommends its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs,
