Daniel Akaka: “S.734 ensures that the VA recruits and retains the highest quality medical professionals.”

Financial literacy and consumer protection issues are very close to my heart.

Thank you, Chairman Brown. Thank you very much for holding this hearing today and for all of your work on consumer protection issues.

That is why I have worked hard during my time in Congress to educate, protect, and empower consumers.

I am proud of the work we have accomplished on this Committee through both legislation, such as the Dodd-Frank and the Credit CARD Acts.
