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.
“AUTHORITY FOR COMMITTEES TO MEET” mentioning the Federal Reserve System was published in the Senate section on pages S3803-S3804 on June 18, 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.
