Washington, September 9, 2013 - Congress is back from the August District Work Period and in the Financial Services Committee, we're getting straight to work with three hearings in three days. Be sure to check back here on the Bottom Line Blog -- and sign up for our email updates -- for more information throughout the week. 

Here's what's happening: 

Leading off the week on Tuesday the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee will hold a 10 a.m. hearing on reducing waste, fraud and abuse in housing programs as they examine the recommendations made by the HUD inspector general. 

On Wednesday afternoon the Monetary Policy and Trade Subcommittee looks at the lessons of central banking we've learned in the Fed's 100 year history. The hearing begins at 2 p.m. 

Last but not least, Thursday the full committee will hear from CFPB Director Richard Cordray at 9 a.m. on the CFPB’s Semi-Annual Report. The director of the CFPB is required by law to appear before the committee on a semi-annual basis to deliver a report on the CFPB. 

All three hearings will be held in 2128 Rayburn HOB and will be streamed live on our website.
