It was not a single state represenative. The award was unsolicited. A single
member does not make a decison. It is the house members that do.

"The House of Representatives of the Twenty-second Legislature of the State
of Hawaii hereby commends and applauds the efforts of TAHITIAN NONI
INTERNATIONAL for making significant progress in its quest to improve the health
of
people throughout the world, and expresses its warmest Aloha and best wishes for
continued success in all future endeavors."
