Daniel Akaka: “I am eager to hear from our witnesses today about the progress they have made as well as what more needs to be done.”

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

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

We must also reaffirm and acknowledge the Department of Education's Federal trust responsibility for American Indian and Alaska Native students.

Thank you for all of your work in all of that.
