Therc has been a Ictsibility study done which proves beyond auv doubt that the use of ah L-100 bubo-prop plane capable of hauling 50,000 pounds could be rue ~~it lm the island chant cconomicslly_ If such a plan as this were put into operation it would allow th, growers of produce, cut flowers, and green plants the opportunity to expand iinnronsely_ There is a market to] al! of these products, but the lack of stable transport of these products to their dcstinanons huutpci the growth of these businessos in Hawaii. At the present tune their arc tow growers and shippers ti. the island that would be capable of Filling a massive order per week- But there is the possibility through inter-island in freight that these products could be cousolidatcd into wic shipping mca auk, combined for shipment to other destinations and be redistributed from a central point. A feasibility study has been done which indicates that this consuhdatton, slipping and distribution is nut oul_v feasible, but could create many millions of dollars in sales for the pcoplc of Hawau. There arc numerous organizations--state, federal and ccmO that world like to create business and growth for 1 LMaii. 'I bets are many growers who would hkc to either mcicasc their own gromb pattern of establish new growth patterns if thk: oppornuiity was open to them. It is with these thoughts in mind--having spoken with agricultural deparlmcnis, research and development departments , economic departments, and many of the bu9lncSSO9 Much are involved in transporting or importing products, that we address this situauoo. It is my believe that if we aui bring these persons and businesses together, working to~~ard a conmum cause md goal, this could b,xomo a icahlh through thou individual and combined cflortS, capabiliucs and resources. Based upon this research. I am enclosing a proposal for both interisland and tu'ans-ocean :ur transportation for products grown, developed, and shipped from I-lawaii. 9
