One of the questions is what we have that same level of intuition of those of their Financial Lives in the United States . So i gave a different type of insight so i think they knew there should be a local presence as well provide the local color. So tell us a little bit about how you were a the local color. We work on Financial Health that the time this is a number of years ago were really focused on the banks pounded out of the idea to have more people to have Financial Access we did the First National steady to understand what it meant of the National Public steady about that.

Proud of the fact that people love us for our macadamia nuts and chocolate. I think when you talk about hawaii and being on the hill there is almost expectation you come with wearing a lei or come with chocolate covered mac nuts. That is what your fellow colleagues oh, yeah, you would be surprised. So i bring them out once in a while. You talked a little bit earlier what you would like to do on the Armed Services committee more broadly. How long do you hope to serve and what are your broader goals here in congress . Im 47 now. So i got elected at 47. I got elected in the legislature when i was 27, served for 20 years. As i mentioned earlier, the commitment our family has made is that were going to put in, if given the opportunity and privilege, to put in another 30 years 20 years. So that would make me7. That is not too old. So yeah, if given the opportunity to stay here i think it is critical for hawaii, especially in this particular seat, to develop senority and as you know, this pla
Was announced by the paymaster and in a sevenday timeline, to the mutual consensus involved the National Action plan. I was very happy to see the agenda of the summit that we are having here in the United States. At least 11 or 12 points in the National Action plan coincide with the agenda items of a summit that is taking place here in washington. So im very happy to exchange views in the International Community and our friends with the United States of america and other partners to try and identify the best way forward. I think pakistan has never been so focused as it is now on the job at hand. Theres never been this kind of unity over the last 13 years. And theres never been this kind of unity of purpose which has emerged across to the length and the breadth of the country. But having said that, let me also say that it is no easy task all the troubles and all the problems that have been built up over the last 13 years that would take a lot of effort. More importantly once the pressur
Families. Whichever family it was relevant to. It is a really strange thing because i didnt feel i have to go to the fbi didnt want to go to the fbi because i didnt think wed get to the families. When i went directly to the families, they many times all the time or happy to have the spirit of what are they going to do with the information once you get it. Now how do you operate on it whether someone is saying i know how to make contact with the kidnappers or whether it is information about where people are being held or anything like that. We passed it onto the families but there was always this empty feeling they would not be effectively worked on because of the failure of the government to assist. I think that is a success of the british philosophy in terms of having two diplomats totally delegated to helping hostage families understand what is going on. They dont pay ransom either. Their results are similar to ours up to this point. But at least families such as ours would have conf
