Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
The U.S. House Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology, chaired by U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, will hold a hearing Thursday, June 23, on Paul's proposed legislation to audit the U.S. gold reserve. Notice of the hearing can be found at the Internet site of the House Financial Services Committee here:

The text of Paul's legislation, H.R. 1495, has been posted at the Open Congress Internet site here:

Pointed questions about surreptitious use of the gold reserve may be posed at the hearing to representatives of the U.S. Treasury Department and Federal Reserve. Unfortunately it's very unlikely that there will be any mainstream news media reporting about the hearing. So your secretary/treasurer plans to attend the hearing and dispatch something about it to you that evening.
But it would be a lot more useful to you and the country if the hearing was televised in its entirety by the public affairs television network C-SPAN, whose broadcast of Paul's committee hearing on June 1 showed Fed General Counsel Scott G. Alvarez asserting, contrary to volumes of documentation collected by GATA over the years, that the disposition of the U.S. gold reserve is a matter of indifference to the Fed:

C-SPAN has not yet posted a broadcast schedule for Thursday, June 23, but the network is often receptive to requests from viewers. So please take a moment to send an e-mail to C-SPAN asking the network to broadcast the June 23 hearing of the House Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy cited at the first Internet link above.
You can email C-SPAN's viewer services office here: viewer@c-span.org
