Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Resolution
'No. 265-87 , regarding the 65-foot tall cross at Bordelon Field ,
Camp Smith, Oahu, reports as follows :
The purpose of the resolution is to support the position of the
Kona Post of the American Legion and six other American Legion Posts
that the cross should be allowed to remain in Camp Smith because it
represents a nonsectarian memorial to all military personnel who died
in Vietnam.
The American Civil Liberties Union has claimed that the cross should
be removed because it represents a specific religious belief , thus
making its presence in Camp Smith unconstitutional .
Your Committee on Planning concurs with Resolution No . 265-87 and
recommends its adoption .
