30 state financial officers urge an EO to return $39B in savings bonds to rightful owners

(The Center Square) – Thirty state financial officers sent a letter Thursday to President Donald Trump asking him to sign an Executive Order directing the Treasury to return $39 billion in savings bonds to the rightful owners rather than the government holding onto the funds and treating them as federal assets.

One of the signing officers, Missouri State Treasurer Vivek Malek, told The Center Square: “As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, we have a rare opportunity to honor the generation that invested in our nation’s future by returning billions of dollars in savings bonds to the American families who rightfully own them.”
