Ron Paul's 'Audit The Fed' bill clears House committee

Ron Paul's 'Audit The Fed' Bill Passes House Oversight Committee - Business Insider - Grace Wyler:

June 27, 2012 - "Ron Paul is finally gaining support for his beloved Audit The Fed bill.
The bill, H.R. 459, passed the House Oversight Committee this morning on a voivote, with no vocal opposition.... Here's Paul's statement on the vote:

"'I am very happy that the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform today passed H.R. 459. The bill passed unanimously by voice vote, with all of its strong audit provisions intact. It is time for the Federal Reserve to face a thorough audit of its monetary policy and lending operations. The Fed’s purchases of dubious assets from favored Wall Street institutions; its lending of hundreds of billions of dollars to foreign governments and central banks; and the prospect of further quantitative easing and European bailouts underscore the critical need for transparency. I am deeply appreciative of the overwhelming support this legislation has received from my colleagues in the House, especially today from the Oversight Committee. I look forward to seeing my Audit the Fed legislation passed by a bipartisan majority of Congress next month.'"
