„Comments from the board members: Concern is that the bigger risk is from disease coming in through Central American pickers than green coffee and that issue hasn't been addressed. A motion was made stating that, "The Hawaii Coffee Association does not support house bill HB 477 - Banning the importation of green coffee into Hawaii, as we feel the current fumigation procedures are effective. We do not support any importation of green coffee currently outside the present department of agriculture rules; but we do support continuing research on alternative methods to treat imported coffee and the development of programs to monitor coffee pest and disease entry through unfumigated sources.” Motion seconded and approved (with dissenting votes). Motion to change the HCA position to "The Hawaii Coffee Association does not support house bill HB 477 - Banning the importation of green coffee into Hawaii, as we feel the current fumigation procedures are effective.“

Coffee has been grown in smaller quantities elsewhere on the islandssince the early days of European settlement, but encouraged by the impending closure ofsugar and pineapple plantations and the tourism-induced popularity of Hawaiian coffee,large commercial concerns now have established plantations on the islands of Kauai andMolokai. Similar efforts soon may follow on other islands.“

Amazon.com: Books: The Motel in America (Road and American Culture)
„The Motel In America explores the effect on American culture as citizens became motorists. The popularity of motels grew steadily throughout the century, booming after World War II, and reaching a peak in 1961 with over 61,000 motels operating throughout the country with the vast majority of them independently owned, introducing Americans to consumer novelties like color televisions, automatic coffee makers, shag rugs, and residential swimming polls. By the 1980s the number had dropped to around 40,000 with most of them affiliated with referral and franchise chains, reflecting the traveler's need for uniform quality and the entrepreneur's desire for regional or national recognition. The Motel In America is a comprehensive history from autocamp to franchise, illustrating much that is central to the American experience.“
