Letter to Congress: AFR Urges Congress to Preserve Financial Protections, Oppose HR 3340
“On behalf of Americans for Financial Reform, we are writing to express our opposition to HR 3340.[1] This legislation would eliminate the independent funding for the Financial Stability Oversight Commission (FSOC) and its research arm, the Office of Financial Research (OFR), subjecting the budget for these agencies to the appropriations process. It would also require that the OFR provide a 90 day notice and comment period prior to issuing any report or rule, and report in advance the details of planned spending to Congress.”
