I present this to the commission as a request <br /> from Commissioner Ishida. <br /> MR. OMONAKA: Mr. Chairman , may I ask Stuart <br /> a question? Mr. Ishida is requesting until the 19th. What <br /> does it do to us in terms of timetable? Would this be workable? <br /> MR. ODA: I don ' t really know, Mr. Omonaka. <br /> MR. TRULSON : Mr. Chairman. <br /> MR. ODA: Everything depends on the. .excuse me, <br /> Mr. Trulson. .everything depends on the printing timetable for <br /> the Tribune-Herald and the translations for the supplements. <br /> Right now, I just don 't have enough information to say yes, <br /> definitely, we will have time, or, definitely, we won ' t have <br /> time. Maybe Mr. Arakaki can. . . <br /> MR. OMONAKA: Yes, I 'm going to ask Mr. Arakaki . <br /> Yasu? <br /> MR. ARAKAKI : Before I go through all this detail , <br /> let me explain to you on the 17th George Tamashiro is leaving <br /> for San Francisco and he would like to take the ballot with him. <br /> Diamond International is going to do the job and he would like <br /> to discuss it with them. So we have to get the ballot to him <br /> before he leaves for San Francisco. <br /> Another problem that we are having is seeing <br /> that this material gets to Honolulu to the Hawaii Association <br /> r <br /> of Language Teachers. They are interpreting the Japanese section <br /> of the text of the amendments you have already agreed upon. <br /> On the Section 3-2, the item which you are holding fire, will <br /> impede the finalization of your ballot. We have to get that <br /> finished. We would like to work that on as soon as you decide, <br /> and if _you have to make it overtime, then get that out to George <br /> Tamashiro as soon as you can. <br /> MR. OMONAKA: You have just heard Mr. Ishida' s <br /> request that he will be back sometime after the 18th. Will that <br /> be time enough? <br /> MR. ARAKAKI : No. <br /> MR. CADINHA: Mr. Chairman. We 're assuming that <br /> there is something magic about November. What ' s inconceivable <br /> about having an election, a special election , the first week in <br /> December? <br /> MR. ARAKAKI : Okay, I ' ll answer that one because <br /> that question was asked of us. We already made arrangements <br /> with all the non-governmental entities throughout the county on <br /> the election precinct booths. All those things are anchored <br /> down already. The training program is all set for the target <br /> date of November 3. If we change that, it ' s not going to change <br /> only Mr. Ishida, it ' s going to change the whole arrangement we <br /> have developed. <br /> -3- <br />
