Daniel Akaka: “It is crucial that America protect and defend its vital interests in the realm of cyberspace.”

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

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.

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.
