“EXECUTIVE COMMUNICATIONS, ETC.” mentioning the Federal Reserve System was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H5772-H5773 on July 12, 2019.
The Federal Reserve is the US's central bank, expanding many times during great financial uncertainty and panic. It has faced numerous criticisms since its creation in 1913, such as making the Great Depression worse and for lacking transparency and audits.
