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.
“PUBLIC BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS” mentioning the Federal Reserve System was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H4218-H4219 on Aug. 4, 2020.
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.
