The commitment is framed as supporting legislation, and the verified passages show Alford materially did so by introducing the Federal Employee Financial Protection Act, which was referred to committee. The evidence does not show enactment or full achievement of the protection outcome, but introduction satisfies the narrower promised action to support the legislation.
