Daniel Akaka: “Aloha and welcome to all of you here. Welcome to the Committee's oversight hearing on the Regulation of Tribal Gaming…”

When Americans make wise economic decisions and are protected from bad actors, our economy and Nation are stronger for it.

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.

I fought to include a report on remittance transfers in the Dodd-Frank provisions.

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.
