Senate Banking Committee approves changes in inflation bill
The Senate Banking Committee approved two main changes to the inflation bill. It scrapped a House plan to boost Federal Reserve gold reserves and raised bank reserve requirements for Federal Reserve members. The committee also kept restrictions on installment buying and shifted the effective date to June 30. The vote on a price freeze failed, and housing debates surfaced with McCarthy’s proposal to delay Taft-Ebender-Wagner housing financing.
