The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 9:48 a. m., in the committee room, New House Office Building, Honorable Leo W. O'Brien, chairman of the subcommittee, presiding. Mr. O'Brien, The Subcommittee on Territorial and In- sular Affairs will be in order for hearing on the several bills to amend certain laws of the United States providing for admission of the State of Hawaii into the Union and for other purposes. This legislation was introduced as a result of an executive communication. Similar legisla- tion was enacted last year for the State of Alaska, at wuich time this committee was given jurisdiction in the matter, thereby perhaps setting something of a precedent. There are matters in the several bills affecting the jurisdiction of other committees,and we will ask for comment from the chairmen of those other committees. In fact, that has already been requested. .' r*s .; -. -. .- .~,,~,, .
