If the story has it right, no senator but Hawaii’s own Akaka will be there, as well as an unstated number of press “staffers.” Dingy Harry will be nowhere in sight. “Indian affairs” broadly would cover aboriginal inhabitants of the Hawaiian islands, so this is probably as economical as junkets get. I’d be far more concerned about what kind of pseudo romantic mango sauce gets churned out of this meeting resulting in more sops to these “Indians” that won’t hardly do them a whit of good anyhow.
Dingy Harry’s the CEO of the Senate, the Senate Majority Leader. And I guess they have to get out there a week before next week’s hearing........................../S !
