Exemption of the H-3 Freeway from Federal Laws The League of Women Voters of the United States and LWV of Hawaii opposed the bill before Congress which would exempt the H-3 Freeway from current and future federal laws. Other State Leagues have been contacted to write their Congressional Delegates on the matter, seen as setting a "dangerous precedent." The statement said in part: "In a case such as this, where there is no pressing national interest in the H-3 highway extension, an exemption is totally unwarranted... We believe that it is not in the best interest of the country or the Congress for a legislative body to act to bypass laws enacted to protect the public health and the environment."
