Daniel Akaka: “Foreign language proficiency and cultural understanding are essential to protecting our national security.”

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 for all of your work in all of that.

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

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