Art. XV §1 | BOUNDARIES
At election of June 27, 1959, in amending this section to conform to the Admission Act, Public Law 86-3 (73 Stat 4), pursuant to sections 2 and 7(b) of the Admission Act, State also relinquished to the United States “all claims of this State to any areas of land or sea outside the boundaries so prescribed….”
Legislative history of section 2 of Admission Act, see 196 F. Supp. 564.
Language adopted to describe boundaries in section 2 of the Admission Act first was used in H.R. 3575 as passed by the Senate, 83d Congress, 2d Session, April 7, 1954. See explanation of Senator Cordon, Chairman of Senate Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, March 8, 1954, on consideration of S. 49 for which H.R. 3575 later was substituted, 100 Cong. Rec. p. 2789, cols. 1-2; and see Senate hearings on S. 49, S. 51, and H.R. 3575, 83d Congress, 1st and 2d Sessions, June 29, 1953-January 8, 1954, including materials on islands and reefs comprising Territory of Hawaii.
When Admission Act finally was enacted by 86th Congress, 1st Session, committee report stated that “the boundaries of the new State will include all of the islands and territorial waters of the Territory of Hawaii, except the Island of Palmyra.” Other islands treated as excluded were “not considered to be part of the Territory.” Sen. Rep. 80, H.R. Rep. No. 32, 86th Congress, 1st Session.
Report of the Commission which prepared the Hawaiian Organic Act, transmitted to Congress by message of the President, Sen. Doc. 16, 55th Congress, 3d Session, 1898, listed in addition to the eight principal islands and Palmyra, ten others. But this listing has not been deemed to be complete. See note to §2 of Hawaiian Organic Act.
As to federal reservations, see note to §1-4.
