Daniel Akaka: “I really appreciate the opportunity to appear here today and discuss matters related to the employment and training…”

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.

Last Congress, bipartisan legislation was introduced by Senator Daniel Akaka (S. 998) and Representative George Miller (H.R. 1867) to address this problem and assure that all pilots are provided fair benefits.

The month of November provides Native peoples opportunity to educate by sharing their history and culture with a larger audience.

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.
