Daniel Akaka: “We really need to get our hiring processes in order, so we can attract the best people into the Federal Government.”

Thank you for all of your work in all of that.

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.

We must also reaffirm and acknowledge the Department of Education's Federal trust responsibility for American Indian and Alaska Native students.

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