- The US Federal Reserve building is seen on July 30, 2009
The US Federal Reserve building is seen on July 30, 2009 in Washington, DC. The US Senate on May 11, 2010 unanimously approved an amendment to a financial reform bill that aims to open the secretive Federal Reserve to outside scrutiny. The measure introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent on the left, was passed by a vote of 96 to 0. It directs the Government Accountability Office, an investigative arm of Congress, to conduct a complete audit of the Fed within a year, reviewing all the loans and other financial aid it has provided since December 1, 2007 during one of the worst financial crisis in US history.
