U.S. Senate Approves Renaming Security Center After Inouye

By /
The U.S. Senate today voted unanimously to re-designate the Asia-Pacific Center For Security Studies in Waikiki as the Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies in recognition of his instrumental support for the center.

The legislation, which requires passage in the U.S. House, was introduced by Sen. Mazie Hirono. Today is the one-year anniversary of Inouye’s death.

The center is a U.S. Department of Defense institute. It addresses regional and global security issues, according to its website, and invites military and civilian representatives of the U.S. and Asia-Pacific nations to its program of executive education and workshops.
