O.F:
EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
RECEIVED
147-E
BUREAU OF THE BUDGET
APR 11 1959
WASHINGTON 25.D.C.
CENTRAL FILES
BULLETIN NO. 59-7
April 8, 1959
TO THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND ESTABLISHMENTS
XOF103
SUBJECT: Effects of Hawaii statehood
1.
Purpose. In view of the imminent admission of Hawaii to
statehood, the President has directed the Bureau of the Budget to
take the initiative in the executive branch, beyond the regular
responsibilities of the Department of the Interior, in making a study
of the effects of statehood on Federal laws and activities in order
to develop a program for an orderly transition from territorial status.
Appropriate arrangements will be made centrally to assure necessary
coordination with the government of Hawaii.
2.
Program to be developed on Hawaii. Each agency which has
functions affected by the admission of Hawaii to statehood shall:
a.
Review the laws, treaties, Executive orders, and directives
which it administers, and its implementing regulations,
instructions, and procedures in the light of Public Law
86-3 (the Act to provide for the admission of the State
of Hawaii into the Union) for the purpose of (1) determining
what changes, if any, will be necessary or desirable because
of Hawaii's changed status; (2) identifying any questions,
such as those involving statutory interpretation or policy
issues, which will require resolution (particularly use of
terms such as "continental United States" in laws); (3)
identifying Federal programs which cannot be initiated or
continued without legislative or other action by the State
of Hawaii; and (4) developing, where necessary, drafts of
proposed Federal legislation, Executive orders, proclamations,
and other appropriate instruments.
This review should include any pending legislation or
legislative proposals in the draft stage.
b.
Review organizational arrangements for administration of
the agency's programs in Hawaii and internal agency regu-
lations to identify actions required to accomplish such
adjustments, including transfers of functions to the State,
and modifications as should be made in connection with the
transition to statehood.
