STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3153

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.R. No. 8

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committees on Human Services and Public Safety, Government Operations, and Military Affairs, to which was referred S.R. No. 8 entitled:

 

"SENATE 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,"

 

beg 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 Washington, D.C., for a museum that will highlight the important role women have played in shaping the United States.

 

     Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from one individual.

 

     Your Committees find that there are numerous museums dedicated to various issues and people of interest in Washington, D.C., but no national museum exists that is dedicated solely to women's history.  Establishing a presence near the National Mall in the nation's capital would ensure that women's sacrifices and contributions throughout America's history remain visible and relevant to our younger generations.  This measure requests Hawaii's Congressional delegation to support the efforts of the National Women's History Museum to secure a permanent home in Washington, D.C., for a museum that will highlight the important role women have played in shaping the nation.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Human Services and Public Safety, Government Operations, and Military Affairs that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of S.R. No. 8 and recommend its adoption.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Human Services and Public Safety, Government Operations, and Military Affairs,
