Resolution No. 93 81
WHEREAS, a most noble endeavor initiated by the United States
of America proposing the establishment of a "United States Academy
of Peace and Conflict Resolution," appears close to reality; and
WHEREAS, a Federal Commission headed by Senator Spark Matsunaga,
having heard from hundreds of witnesses during its twelve public
hearings around the country, concluded that this National Conflict
Resolution program could potentially save the American public
billions of dollars, directly and indirectly each year through
increased productivity,,and more importantly, it could preclude the
unnecessary loss of lives and property damage; and
WHEREAS, the Commission's report will be made public in a few
months, and one of the major recommendations will be that the Academy
would have its administrative center in Washington, D. C. located in
an existing university complex to be complimented with 12 to 15
regional campuses situated around the nation; and
WHEREAS, such a planned format of regional centers is of great
interest to the County of Hawaii since the University of Hawaii at
Hilo would be an ideal institute and location for the planned under-
graduate studies and professional training in conflict resolution;
and
WHEREAS, the University of Hawaii at Hilo's assets and attrac-
tiveness of being in a small, less urban and tranquil community
coupled with its multi -racial population of students and faculty,
would be the kind of environment that could help make the program
work.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF
HAWAII that it endorses the proposal for the establishment of a
United States Academy of Peace and Conflict Resolution and that one
of its regional centers be located at the University of Hawaii at
Hilo.
