bureau or does the bureau intend to look into how to meet the credit need of those very large and undeserved population? >> yes, senator. we actually started -- we had a field hearing in birmingham a couple weeks ago which was our first beginning look at the market where it is clear in this country, as you say, there is a clear consumer demand for short-term small-dollar loans to help people get through crises where they don't have a stash of money or have a friendly relative who's willing to pony up that money for them. there are a number of products out there that are serving that need. we want to make sure that those products are actually helping consumers rather than harming them. it is a problem that has been unsolved in this country, i believe, is there is this demand. we need to fulfill this demand, and we need to spur competition to fill that demand, and that's something we're thinking about very carefully. we don't have all the answers on it frankly, but over time we are going to be trying to figure it out working with industry and consumers to understand. >> we look forward to work
