This vote was on an amendment by David Vitter, R-La., that would give the Government Accountability Office, Congress’ nonpartisan investigative service, more authority to examine the Federal Reserve. Unreleased transcripts and minutes of Federal Reserve discussions would be exempt from examination. Additionally the amendment would require a 180-day delay on publishing any information on Federal Reserve decisions to intervene in markets. The amendment was offered to a bill that aims to close gaps in financial regulations, strengthen oversight of consumer lending and more closely oversee certain kinds of exotic financial investments. |
