Daniel Akaka: “Thank you very much, Senator Johnson, for your statement.”

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.

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.

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.
