And there’s your other request also - the one answered by OIP Director Paul Tsukiyama.
Whoa! I just looked at Tsukiyama’s letter again and the citation he gave as the reason for them to (supposedly)rightfully deny you access to any and all birth certificates they maintain on file for Obama, as well as supporting evidence for the claims made on them.... is HRS 338-13. He used that reference twice so it wasn’t just a typo, where he intended to put 338-18.
If you look at 338-13, it says: §338-13 Certified copies. (a) Subject to the requirements of sections 338-16, 338-17, and 338-18, the department of health shall, upon request, furnish to any applicant a certified copy of any certificate, or the contents of any certificate, or any part thereof.
(b) Copies of the contents of any certificate on file in the department, certified by the department shall be considered for all purposes the same as the original, subject to the requirements of sections 338-16, 338-17, and 338-18.
(c) Copies may be made by photography, dry copy reproduction, typing, computer printout or other process approved by the director of health. [L 1949, c 327, §17; RL 1955, §57-16; am L Sp 1959 2d, c 1, §19; HRS §338-13; am L 1978, c 49, §1]
The difference between 338-13 and 338-18 is that 338-13 refers to the provisions of 338-16 and 338-17 as well - which deal with LATE AND ALTERED BIRTH CERTIFICATES.
Wow. I didn’t catch that before. The HDOH always just cites 338-18. But Tsukiyama cited 338-13, which includes the special treatment required for late and altered birth certificates.
That’s fascinating. I keep wondering if these aren’t little clues that the DOH gives out (intentionally) hoping someone puts it all together to bring Obama down, but to avoid any culpibility or conflict of interest.
I just read this one. Wow! Great catch. I need to go read it again and get back to you!
