Billy Long votes to audit the Federal Reserve

(From Seventh District Congressman Billy Long)

U.S. Rep. Billy Long voted in support of theFederal Reserve Transparency Act, legislation calling for an audit of the Federal Reserve.

"I support legislation to audit the Federal Reserve because the public is owed a greater understanding of the Federal Reserve's activities. A number of questions have arisen about the internal operations and lack of transparency of the Federal Reserve System. An audit would ensure that the Federal Reserve is held accountable to taxpayers for their actions," Long said.
