RECKIVEL
My dear Mr. President:
At the request of Governor Stainback, I am forwarding
to you herewith a certified copy of Joint Resolution 1, which was
recently enacted by the Legislature of Hawaii. The Resolution
requests the President, with a view to alleviating unemployment
in the Territory, to declare the Territory of Hawaii as an emer-
gency unemployment area; to direct appropriate federal agencies
and officials to channel government contracts to Hawaiian firms
where possible; and, in any transfers of military installations,
to take advantage of the suitability and strategic location of
Hawaii for such installations The Resolution also requests the
Congress to enact legislation now pending for certain federal
public works projects in the Territory.
In view of the critical unemployment situation in Hawaii,
a situation which will not be materially relieved by the termina-
tion of the dock strike, it is recommended that the Island of Oahu
be designated a distressed area and that, pursuant to your memorandum
of July 14, 1949, immediate steps be taken to alleviate unemployment
in that area. This Department and the Territorial Government of
Hawaii will extend the fullest possible cooperation to Dr. Steelman's
office in working out such emergency measures as may be required.
Sincerely yours,
Secretary of the Interior
The President
