Daniel Akaka: “Gaming has been the single most effective of economic development for Indian Country.”

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

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.

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

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