Cause/Hawaii, dated September 14, 1987, questioning the
manner in which Resolution 335, which amends Rule 4 of
the Rules of Procedure, was handled at the August 10,

States, according to reports, Planning Committee
Chairman Takashi Domingo called for a recess to discuss
the matter behind closed doors in Council Chairman
Stephen Yamashiro's office; thereafter, the rule change
was passed unanimously without explanation or public
discussion. Feels this appears to be a flagrant
