Daniel Akaka: “President Obama recently signed an executive order to establish a Council on Veterans' Employment.”

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

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

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.

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