Daniel Akaka: “Together we can deal with the challenges that we have ahead of us; I look forward to that.”

Well, thank you very much for that.

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.

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

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.
