Mahalo nui loa. <br /> VITOUSEK: Thank you very much.

Please begin,please state your name and the town that you live in. <br /> MORINOUE: Hi, my name is Setsuko Morinoue and I'm from H61ualoa, District 7 and I am <br /> from originally from Japan. And when my early 20's I moved here and lived and loved this land <br /> area of the West Hawaii. The way I came from it's almost like a setting the same way and the <br /> beauty of the nature. But there's so much development took over, and we have so much chaos <br /> disaster after disaster, you know, the whole world is in that.

We learned so much from Ahupua`a system which is you don't see <br /> any place in else in the world and it's so beautiful way of pono. Pono way of taking care of the <br /> land. If we do not have land. Who can even talk about how you can make life or the money or <br /> whatever economy you talk about? We cannot talk about anything if we don't have a healthy <br /> land. We cannot talk about anything more. <br /> When you today, you look at the Alii Drive — <br /> VITOUSEK: Please summarize, that's the three minutes. <br /> MORINOUE: just Alii Drive alone. How many more open lands we have? How much more <br /> you want to put the housings and roadway and covers the greens and the dirt and waiting for the <br /> 7 <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />
