Dear fir. ~larlon®ff,
i am wilting 4o urge the Hawaii County Council fo adapt Resolution
No. 1401 in support of COngresswornan Daisy Mink's bill M.R. 1906,
which a~zthotixes the expansion of Pu'uhonua O ~fonaunau Nations! Park
by up to 806 sores.
This proposed extension of Pu'uhonua O Honaunau National Parl< is of
utmost in,poatance. 'These lands that surround the presen4 park have
fain r$iively untouched since anci®nt times, and the presence of
the ancient Hawaiian Culture is evidenced ley the multitude of
features and sites both above ground and below. The lineal and
cuiturei;dsscendents of these lands hold them in deep reverence, es
does the South Kona community.
For the 400,000+ visitoiT that explore the park yearly, this
experience is often the only true glimpse that they Oet of the
historical and sp'!'°-sal essence of the l°laewaiian culture.
'i?ae proposed purchase would expand the park by 806 acres and would
provide a qty necessary burr from development for the entire park
area, sunrag a mature/ yew plane and sense of place so important
to pr®tec4 a park wf'th such worldwide sigrtiilcance and ancient
historical impedance.
Another factor on fir of the purchase of 605 acres is 4he pristine
AA qu~ty of the near-shoes envlronrraent along the'Honaunau
coastlime. Percolation o€~siiutan4s, i~urraan waste and sedimeniatir~n
through tt~ perrrreable lave fields is a major threes to the marine
snvsronrnen4 wherever development takes place. As rampart development
threaten the emtfre Wit Haw~li coastline, it is important to focus
on pr~asvirrg such currently pristine and culturally significant
places ~s hiona~anau.
P9®ase support the preserYation of hBawaii's special unique
place, The U.S. Lel~isiature stands ready to approve the purchase of
t}t~e pfsterrtia! parklands, end your statement of support, in the fora,
of a resolution, will help to n'aake this a reality. Thank you for your support of this.

Dear ~larionoff, ~~-'~_,5 ° , .
I am cvritinR to urge the Hawaii County Council to adopt Resolution
No. 1~9-01 ixi support of Congresswoman Patsy Mink"s bill H.R. 1906,
which authorizes the expazasion of Pu"uY~.onua O Fion.aunau National Park
by up to 805 acres.
This proposed expansion of Pu"uhonua o Honaux~.au National Park is of
utmost importance. These lands that surround the Qr~:sent park have
lain relatively untouched since axa.cient times, ai'~,d the presence of
the ex~cient Hawaiian culture is evidexzced by the multitude of
Features and sites both above ground axial below. The lineal a.nd
cultural descendexzts of these lands hold them in deep reverence, as
does the South Kona community.
~'or the 400,000-~ visitors that explore the park y~:arly, this
experience is often. the Drily true gli.mpss that they get of the
historical and spiritual eeseac~ of the Hawaiian culture,
I'he propos@d purchase would eacpand the park by 805 acres and would
provide a very necessary buffer from devslopmex>,t for the entire park
area, assuring a natural view plane and sense of place so important
to protect a park with such worldwide significance and ancient
historical importance.
Another factor on favor of the purchase of BOS acres is the pristine
AA quality of the near-shore environment along the I~onaunau
coastline. Percolation of pollutants, human waste and sedimentation
through the permeable lava fie~.ds is a mayor threat to the marine
~:nvironment wherever development takes place. As rampant development
threatens the entire west Hawaii coastline, it i.s important to focus
on preserving such currently pristine and culturally significant
places as Honaunau.
Please help support the overwhelming ma~oxity - up to 90~ by recent
polls - who are calling for the preservation of Hawaii"s special
places. The U.S. Legislature stands ready to approve the purchase of
these potential parklands, and your statement of support, in the form
of a resolution, will help to make this a reality. Thank you.

I am writing t® urge the s-lawaii County Council to adopt Resolution No. 149-01 in support of
Congressworrean Patsy link'e'r bill f#.R. 1906, which authori~ess thf expansion of Pu'uhonua 0
Honaunau National Park by up to 805 acres.
This proposed expslnsi0n of PU'uhonua ®Honaunau National Park is of utmost importance.
Terse lands that surround the present park have twin rela4ively untouched since ancient times,
and the psena~ of the araciee4 Ha+iian culture is evidenced by the multitude of featurers and
sites both above ground and b®i®w. The lineal and cultural descendents of these lands hold them
in deep revar®i1Ce, as does the South Kona community,
For the ~t}0,000¢ visitors that explore the park yearoy, than experi®nce3 is often th! only true
glimpses that they Set of the historical and spiritual ®ssenes: of the Hawaiian culture.
The proposed purchase would expand the park by 805 acres arad would provide a very necessary
buffer from devs~lopment f®r the erotire park area, assuring a natural vie+~+ plane and sense of
ph~Ce so ira~pcaa~,ant to protect a park with such worldtAelde significance and ancient historical
ampOPtanCe.
Another f•~ctor on favor of the purchase of 805 acres is the pristine AA quality of the near-Shpre
environment along the Honaunau coastline, Percolation of pollutants, human waste and
sedimentation through the perrne;iatsle Ira fields is a r~a)or threat to the marine environment
vaherevec dasvc:lopmean4 takes place. As rampant developrrient threatens the entire West Hawaii
coastline, it is irrtportant to focus on preserving such currently pristine and culturally significant
pia~aa as Honaunau.
Plesa~se help support the overwhelming majority - up to 9®°rb by recent polls -who are calling for
the prCServation of Hawaii's special places. The U.S. Lesgisia4ure sends ready to approve the
purchase of theses potential parklands, and your statement of support, in the forrt~ of a resolution.
will help to make this a reality, Ttaank you.
Sincerely,
