begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to educate visitors and residents on the important contributions made to Hawaii by the pineapple industry by requesting appropriate House and Senate committees to investigate various possibilities to restore or replace the Dole pineapple-shaped water tank at the site of the old Dole Cannery.

(4) Changing the title to read as follows:

"REQUESTING the Chair of the House Committee on Tourism and Culture and the Chair of the Senate Committee on Tourism to each designate a member of their respective committees to conduct informal discussions on ways to replicate the historic Iwilei pineapple-shaped water tank.";

(5) Specifying that the Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation, Hawaii Agriculture Research Center, Pineapple Growers of Hawaii, Castle & Cooke Hawaii, the Chair of the Senate Committee on Tourism, and the Chair of the House Committee on Tourism and Culture each receive a certified copy of this measure;

(6) Deleting the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate from the list of entities receiving a certified copy of this measure; and

(7) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for style, clarity, and consistency.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Tourism & Culture that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 212, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 212, H.D. 1.
