Your Committees on Public Safety and Intergovernmental and
Military Affairs and Housing, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 75
entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE UNITED STATES
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, INCLUDING THE NAVY, ARMY, AND AIR
FORCE, TO INCREASE ON-BASE HOUSING AVAILABILITY FOR ACTIVE
DUTY PERSONNEL AND THEIR DEPENDENTS ASSIGNED TO MILITARY
INSTALLATIONS IN THE STATE,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the
United States Department of Defense, including the Navy, Army, and
Air Force, to increase on-base housing availability for active
duty personnel and their dependents assigned to military
installations in the State.
Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure
from one individual.
Your Committees received comments on this measure from the
Hawaii Military Affairs Council.
Your Committees find that Hawaii's unique strategic position
in the Pacific Ocean has led to one of the largest concentrations
of United States military forces in the country. Your Committees
further find that a major contributing factor to high rent and
limited availability of housing in the State is the demand for
