		Thus between the initiation of the scheme for a provisional government in Hawaii on the 14th day of January and the submission to the Senate of the treaty of annexation concluded with such government, the entire interval was thirty-two days, fifteen of which were spent by the Hawaiian Commissioners in their journey to Washington.

	Hawaii State Plan Information
		As an 18(e) state plan state, Hawaii is required to provide an enforcement safety and health program for public sector employees equally as effective as that for the private sector.

		Other changes we have encouraged are the inclusion of safety and health responsibilities in performance evaluations for supervisors, and safety councils to share and coordinate training and periodic inspection responsibilities thereby levering the cost for each unit, division or department.
