Dr. Ron Paul makes his opening statement at the Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology Subcommittee hearing. The focus of the hearing is on recent audits of US gold reserves; challenges to conducting a full audit; and impediments to an accurate assessment of the US gold position, including any leases, swaps or other encumbrances placed upon the gold reserves; and also examine changes to the legislative proposal that will ensure a full and accurate audit, assay, and inventory of US gold reserves.
