Daniel Akaka: “I am proud of the innovative work that the Hawaii Council on Economic Education has done.”

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.

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

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.
