Hon. Michael G. Oxley: “I rise in support of S. 418, the Military Personnel Financial Services Protection Act, which protects the men and women…”

“I rise in support of S. 418, the Military Personnel Financial Services Protection Act, which protects the men and women serving in our Nation's military from deceptive financial practices and unsuitable financial products. I want to pay a particular tribute to the sponsor of the House legislation that came through the Financial Services Committee. This bill that we have before us is almost identical to the bill that passed out of our committee. Mr. Davis, a veteran and West Point graduate, led the way in protecting our military men and women on this issue early last year. Early last year he secured a bipartisan voice vote in committee and a resounding 405-2 bipartisan victory in the House. Congratulations also go to former Congressman Max Burns of Georgia who led the charge protecting our military personnel in the 108th Congress. Mr. Speaker, since the tragic day of September 11, 2001, our country has been at war with terrorism around the world. In the prosecution of that war, our armed services have performed heroically.”
