Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 1396, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE JAPANESE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE IN HAWAII,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to preserve, perpetuate, and share the legacy of the Japanese-American service members who served in the United States Armed Forces during World War II, and those Japanese-American citizens detained in internment camps by appropriating funds for the planning, design, and construction of the Nisei Veterans Legacy Center and the Honouliuli Internment Camp Educational Center.

 

     The Hawaii Civil Rights Commission, the State Office of Veteran Services, University of Hawaii West Oahu, Nisei Legacy Center, Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii, and numerous concerned individuals supported this measure.  Department of Land and Natural Resources and Department of Budget and Finance provided comments.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1396, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
