THE HONORABLE AARON S. Y. CHUNG
COUNCIL MEMBER
COUNTY OF HAWAII

HILO HI 96720
Dear Councilmember Chung:
County Clerk Donald Ikeda sent me a copy of your Resolution No. 79-97, in support of
making the Republic of Korea eligible for the U.S. Visa Waiver Program. I
wholeheartedly support this resolution and thank you for sending it to my attention.
You will be glad to know that the House Subcommittee on Immigration and Claims held
a hearing on the subject two weeks ago and the Chair stated that his concerns had
been addressed.
While the final decision of the committee is still ahead, I will do all I can to foster
adoption of some version of a Korean visa waiver, which will clearly benefit Hawaii's
tourism industry.
Very truly yours,
PATSY T. MINK
Member of Congress
