Daniel Akaka: “This April is Financial Literacy Month, our opportunity to showcase the importance of financial literacy in America.”

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

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.
