Honolulu, Hawaii MAR 25 2009 RE: S.C.R. No. 66 S.D. 1
Honorable Colleen Hanabusa President of the Senate Twenty-Fifth State Legislature Regular Session of 2009 State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Water, Land, Agriculture, and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 66 entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THAT THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE ISSUE A COMMEMORATIVE STAMP HONORING PRINCE JONAH KUHIO KALANIANAOLE," begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to request that the United States Postal Service issue a commemorative stamp honoring Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole.
Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by one organization. Written testimony presented to your Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.
Your Committee finds that Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole, as the last designated heir to the Hawaiian throne, was a great representative and supporter of the native Hawaiian people. Prince Kuhio was imprisoned for attempting to return Queen Liliuokalani to the throne, later elected to represent Hawaii to the United States Congress, and instrumental in securing the Kalaupapa Leper Settlement as a territorial institution, establishing county governments, developing Pearl Harbor, and advocating for the passage of the Hawaiian Rehabilitation Act and the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act. Prince Kuhio re-organized the Royal Order of Kamehameha I and organized the Hawaiian Civic Club. Prince Kuhio's accomplishments on behalf of the people of Hawaii
