mr. larson, and then mr.arin. >> well i just wanted to, these are all good questions and i enjoy listening. but representative coal and delauro have a bill in history and civics. and, frankly it is not being taught the way that it should be. within our school systems. some do better than others but across this nation the lack of civic understanding and responsibility, which is critical for a republic, isn't tops. between that and financial literacy, congress is loathe to mandate educational instruction on the states. that is the responsibility of the state. but especially in this day and age where you are bombarded with information and it is hard to distinguish the difference between the two. and frankly, anyone can produce a scientist or an economist or something that supports their point of view and there really isn't a nation that has been grounded in its civic responsibility. there is another notion, an idea, also that we should have to go along with that wettest really a does with a hunted percent voting

mr larson welcome. you are now recognized. >> well, thank you.r chairman mr timmins mr later, uh great to be here and i applaud you for the big ideas that are coming forward and i think they're essential to a democracy. there are many that i would like to explore and i apologize, i got here a little late because i'm very interested in the, in the testimony and what kevin was just alluding to. i think part of the problem whether it's a member or staff is getting acclimated to congress, especially for the first time, even if you've had state legislative background or interest and you may understand or have a grasp of the legislative process, but it's different here and it's compounded by the distance that a number of people have to travel. not everybody has a short trip like you do representative kilmer. but uh, it's uh, and the stress that that creates both on the individual and i dare say uh families as well. uh, we could spend the day talking about impact on spouses and families and how little congress does with regard to that too? the ongoing,

mr. larson argue addressing that to any one of our witnesses? >> it's to the whole panel. >> as we said earlier the near-term competitiveness of the chinese banking system is an issue but the longer-term isar e real issue. they decide the economic issues of the country and they have made large amounts of money and they are developing the technique to compete on a worldwide basis with the l multinational client base with the world. outside the country. it's something to be concerned about and frankly they can operate in the u.s. and the current rule set without much problem in terms of financial resources. >> if anyone else would like to comment on that before go to another question? go ahead. >> thank you very much for the question. i would add many of us support the american multinational competitiveness and the scale is massive by these companies and the resulting jobs in america. for that not to be operating. american rails could be a problem in terms of security and many of the things we have been discussing at today'sr hearing. that's where
