On August 3, 1973, Governor John A. Burns authorized, through Executive Order No. 73-1, the establishment of the Ad Hoc Commission on Operations, Revenues and Expenditures (CORE). The Commission's objective was to study the revenues, operations and expenses of Hawaiʻi's State Government and provide independent advice on how the State could improve its efficiency and effectiveness. The eighteen Commission members, all appointed by the Governor, were selected for their prominence in Hawaiʻi's government, business and labor sectors. Mr. Andrew T. F. Ing, Financial Vice President of Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc., and Mr. Walter H. Kupau, President of the Hawaii State Federation of Labor AFL-CIO, were elected chairman and vice-chairman, respectively, of the Commission. The heads of the State's Departments of Budget & Finance, Taxation, and Planning and Economic Development served as ex-officio members of the Commission. CORE members worked part-time and received no pay for their voluntary services. The Commission did employ a salaried staff to do research, coordinate Commission activities and perform clerical duties. Staff members were paid by the Governor's office. Mrs. Mildred Kosaki served as CORE's Executive
Secretary, the head of the Commission's staff.

To expedite its work, the Commission formed committees and task forces to focus on specific subject areas. The CORE committees and task forces were: (1) Committee on Health and Social Services (a) Task Force on Health Facilities (b) Task Force on Housing (c) Task Force on Welfare Eligibility and Level of Support (2) Committee on Revenues (3) Committee on Education (4) Committee on Support Services.

The Commission officially ceased operation on November 15, 1974.
