Summary

The resolution asks the U.S. President to convey any Hawaii public‑land recreation facilities that the federal government no longer requires for national defense back to the State of Hawaii. It specifically names Fort DeRussy and the Hale Koa Hotel, citing the Hawaii Admission Act and Public Law 88‑233 as the legal basis. The goal is to restore these lands to the state so they can be used for the benefit of all Hawaiians rather than for exclusive military recreation.
