     WHEREAS, part of this reorganization includes transferring resources currently in other states to Hawaii; and

 

     WHEREAS, this reorganization also includes transferring currently federal land to the State of Hawaii; and

 

     WHEREAS, this reorganization is intended to benefit multiple branches of the U.S. military, the State of Hawaii, and the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands; and

 

     WHEREAS, the most effective way to bring about this reorganization is through Congressional action; and

 

     WHEREAS, the Hawaii Congressional Delegation is uniquely qualified as members of Congress to raise issues and support positions that would benefit Hawaii; and

     BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Thirty-first Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2022, that the Legislature urges the Hawaii Congressional Delegation to relocate all assets of the U.S. Coast Guard from its current location at Sand Island to Pearl Harbor, allowing for the effective closure of the U.S. Coast Guard housing area at Wailupe; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the land on which the U.S. Coast Guard housing area was located at Wailupe be transferred to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands to be converted to Hawaiian Home Lands; and

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the land currently known as Fort Shafter and Shafter Flats be transferred to the State of Hawaii to be repurposed as the State sees fit; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Resolution be transmitted to the members of the Hawaii State House of Representatives, the members of Hawaii's Congressional Delegation, the United States Army Pacific Commanding General, the United States Navy Pacific Fleet Commander, the United States Coast Guard District Fourteen Commander, the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, and the Department of Land And Natural Resources.
