Congressman Daniel Akaka comments that the Draft Report on page 184, "indicates that the spark that ignited the annexationists was the signing of a b i l l to regulate the sale of opium and a b i l l to e s t a b l i s h a l o t t e r y" (Akaka's Comments, pp. 5-6). In addition, it is asserted that these b i l l s "...were merely used as excuses by the annexationists to bring down the Monarchy" (Akaka's Comments, p. 6 ) . Other commenters raised a similar point. The draft report does not refer to the l o t t e r y b i l l u n t i l page 190, in the section on Liliuokalani*s reign. Moreover, the comments do not accurately reflect the chronology of events. The l o t t e r y b i l l was enacted in 1893—not in 1886-1887 which is the period discussed at pages 184-185 of the draft r e p o r t . More importantly, the statement cited in support of these comments is a December 20, 1893 statement made with respect to conditions in 1893 and not events in 1886-1887. Finally, pages 184-185 of the draft report refer to the "reformers"—not "annexationists." 51/ Damon, p. 192. 52/ Joesting, p. 217. 53/ Bailey, p. 21. 5_4/ I b i d . , p. 291. 55/ Joesting, p. 218. 56/ Bailey, p. 295. 57/ Senator Daniel Inouye and others commented that the Draft Report f a i l s to inquire into the possible role of the United States Government in the adoption of the 1887 Constitution; i . e . , the extent to 319
