Chairman. under section 500 of the bill. regional development programs are said to address. in a broad manner. problems of rapid growth. as well as economic decline. In Hawaii and the Pacific Basin area. we face these problems with an intensity not experienced in other parts of the Nation. For example. the Pacific Basins ethnic mix has drawn to the area a great number of immigrants. resulting in an unequaled period of growth. Additionally. the sugar industry in Hawaii has seen significant economic decline in recent years. This industry. next to tourism as the major private industry in the area. is responsible for the employment of nearly 30.000 people. posing severe economic questions in the next decade.
