Daniel Akaka: “FEMA must have strong, experienced, and capable leadership.”

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

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.

That is why I have worked hard during my time in Congress to educate, protect, and empower consumers.
