"Senator Akaka has also worked hard to ensure that the Federal Government process retirement claims in a timely and efficient manner."

"Your tireless efforts to streamline Federal processes and making agencies more accountable have found broad bipartisan support."

"I applaud the work Senator Akaka has done to ensure that Federal employees are protected from retaliation when they disclose government waste, fraud, and abuse."
