Your concern for the native -Hawaiian community as relates to elected officials and their intentions to better conditions is commendable . ' . I believe I am the only candidate for the office I seek who has a history of supporting native Hawaiians and their needs. Your inquiry appears lengthy and any response I might 'mcike in a letter could better be answered in detail by the printing, HEARINGS before WILLIAM (BILLY) KUAIWA (D) Congress, 2nd District the COMMITTEE ON ENERGY AND NATURAL RE- Governor SOURCES, UNITED STATES SENATE Ninety-Eighth Congress Second Session on the report of the NATIVE HAWAIIANS STUDY COMMISSION, Appendix Part 2, from pages 1 through 259. I am solely responsible for the content of that response. In addition I had prepared at my own expense a review for each member of the Senate and House of Representatives entitled POLITICS, HAWAII SANDALWOOD TREES AND HOPE. This review as produced in 1982 and circulated to each member of the congress to familiarize the con- gressional members with native Hawaiians, their history and needs. Following these activities I have forwarded to Sen. Spark Matsunaga on November 29, 1985, further recommendations relative to attempting to resolve the claims issue. I fully support the native Hawaiian community in its efforts to obtain some beneficial settlement of past over- sights and abuses. That attitude is also a reason I have chosen to serve as a Hawaiian Homes Commissioner (DHHL) which entails devoting many hours of prepara- tion and study to decide issues while being a non-paying position.
