                  NATIONAL FINANCIAL CAPABILITY MONTH

  (Mr. SHERMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SHERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I join President Obama in recognizing April 
as National Financial Capability Month and highlight the vital role 
that the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and State 
CPA societies play in educating all Americans.
  CPAs have been leaders in increasing the financial capacity of 
Americans by creating and distributing free programs, tools, and 
resources.
  Through the American Institute of CPAs' 360 Degrees of Financial 
Literacy program, some tens of thousands of CPAs volunteer to educate 
Americans and to open doors to the middle class.
  The AICPA National CPA Financial Literacy Commission leads a 
nationwide effort to advance financial literacy. This is the tenth year 
of the Feed the Pig program, the AICPA's public service campaign along 
with the Ad Council that provides free resources to make smart saving 
decisions.
  Literacy begins with the letters A, B, C. Financial literacy begins 
with the letters C, P, A.
