Daniel Akaka: “I urge the Committee to expedite the confirmation of these nominees.”

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.

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

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