Washington, D.C -- Congressman Neil Abercrombie will be a guest on C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" from 8:30 A.M. - 9:00 A.M. ET/2:30 - 3:00 A.M. HST. Abercrombie has been invited onto the program to talk about his "War Profiteering Prevention Act."

The bipartisan legislation cracks down on U.S. contractors who have defrauded taxpayers of billions of dollars in Iraq and Afghanistan by making war profiteering a felony, subject to up to 20 years in prison.

In Honolulu, Hawaii, C-SPAN may be viewed on Oceanic Time Warner Channel 48. "Washington Journal" is also available in its entirety on C-SPAN's website.
