The Akaka Bill for the past many years has been considered under what we call the regular order. It has had hours upon hours of hearings, many, many revisions and amendments and has gone through the scrutiny of three administrations. We have had hearings in Washington and in Hawaii.
It is not a measure that has been shepherded in the dark of the night. It has been fully transparent." - Sen. Daniel Inouye
