Daniel Akaka: “I will work with Senator Burr on finding another opportunity.”

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

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

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.

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.
