Daniel Akaka: “We are making a deliberate attempt to help us provide medical services and services for them.”

I want to say aloha and thank you so much for being here today for the Committee's oversight hearing on Reclaiming Our Image and Identity for the Next Seven Generations.

Last Congress, bipartisan legislation was introduced by Senator Daniel Akaka (S. 998) and Representative George Miller (H.R. 1867) to address this problem and assure that all pilots are provided fair benefits.

Well, thank you very much for that.

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