Oops missed one...
Senate financial bill appears likely to keep Fed as regulator of big banks By Brady Dennis Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, March 10, 2010 Key members of the Senate banking committee are coalescing around legislation that would strip the Federal Reserve of much of its regulatory authority but would leave the central bank with oversight of the nation's largest banks, according to aides familiar with the ongoing negotiations.

Re: HR 1207 UPDATES "The Federal Reserve Transparency Act"
This is such a joke. The Fed needs to not be audited but to be ENDED! Goldman Sachs and the Rothschilds and the other Jewish Banks that own the Fed Reserve should all self-implode! The US dollar is very likekly to lose between 30-50% in next 2 years before collapsing anyway. Just a waiting game now.

Re: HR 1207 UPDATES "The Federal Reserve Transparency Act"
Right Barron,
Audit the Fed and then End It is Ron Paul's proposal. END THE FED by Ron Paul (And when you finish reading the book it has been suggested you donate it to your local library.) In the post-meltdown world, it is irresponsible, ineffective, and ultimately useless to have a serious economic debate without considering and challenging the role of the Federal Reserve. Most people think of the Fed as an indispensable institution without which the country's economy could not properly function. But in END THE FED, Ron Paul draws on American history, economics, and fascinating stories from his own long political life to argue that the Fed is both corrupt and unconstitutional. It is inflating currency today at nearly a Weimar or Zimbabwe level, a practice that threatens to put us into an inflationary depression where $100 bills are worthless. What most people don't realize is that the Fed -- created by the Morgans and Rockefellers at a private club off the coast of Georgia -- is actually working against their own personal interests. Congressman Paul's urgent appeal to all citizens and officials tells us where we went wrong and what we need to do fix America's economic policy for future generations.

SOURCE: http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blog.php?view=33549 Dodd's Proposed Wall Street Rules Would Toughen Scrutiny of Banks By DAMIAN PALETTA MARCH 15, 2010 WASHINGTON—The political battle over rewriting the rules of Wall Street will intensify Monday when Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd is expected to introduce legislation tougher on financial companies than was expected just a few weeks ago. The shift follows a push from the Obama administration, which sees a political advantage in pushing legislation taking aim at Wall Street. Mr. Dodd's bill would allow the Fed to examine any bank holding company with more than $50 billion in assets, and large financial companies that aren't banks could be lassoed into the Fed's supervisory orbit. This came after Treasury officials pushed Mr. Dodd to bring more companies under the Fed's purview.

Federal Reserve Must Disclose Bank Bailout Records (Update5)
By David Glovin and Bob Van Voris March 19 (Bloomberg) -- The Federal Reserve Board must disclose documents identifying financial firms that might have collapsed without the largest U.S. government bailout ever, a federal appeals court said. The U.S. Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled today that the Fed must release records of the unprecedented $2 trillion U.S. loan program launched primarily after the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. The ruling upholds a decision of a lower-court judge, who in August ordered that the information be released. EXCERPT: Quote:
