The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“REPORTS OF COMMITTEES ON PUBLIC BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS” mentioning the Federal Reserve System was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H7433-H7434 on Sept. 21, 2017.
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.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
