Daniel Akaka: “My concern then--and now--was that there would be duplication of effort in the intelligence arena.”

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.

Financial literacy and consumer protection issues are very close to my heart.

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