From the Washington Post: : A bipartisan bill requiring broader operational audits of the U.S. Federal Reserve passed the House on Wednesday by a broad bipartisan margin.
The bill passed 327 to 98; all but one Republican and 89 Democrats
voted yes. The bill will be considered under the suspension of normal
House rules, meaning it required at least a two-thirds majority to pass.
The measure would permit government auditors to conduct deeper audits
of the Fed’s monetary policy operations. Despite opposition from some
Democrats and the Federal Reserve, the bill has at least 274 cosponsors, including more than three dozen Democrats facing difficult reelection campaigns.
Wednesday’s vote was a coup for its chief sponsor, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.),
a longtime nemesis of the Fed, which he has called “an enormously
destructive and unaccountable force in both the U.S. economy and the
greater global economy.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/2chambers/post/audit-the-fed-bill-set-for-house-vote/2012/07/24/gJQAJypU7W_blog.html
