MEDIA ADVISORY: HOUSE FINANCIAL SERVICES AND OVERSIGHT SUBCOMMITTEES TO EXAMINE STATUS OF EXPORT-IMPORT BANK REFORMS
Washington,
April 9, 2015 -
House Financial Services Subcommittee on Monetary Policy and Trade, and Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Health Care, Benefits, and Administrative Rules, will examine Export–Import Bank reforms including the 2012 reauthorization report, during a hearing on Wednesday, April 15, at 10 am.
“The Export-Import Bank has long been broken and it is our responsibility to closely examine its future viability. Another year has passed and once again Ex-Im has failed to implement necessary reforms to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse. During the hearing, we’ll closely review Ex-Im’s repeated failures in basic transparency and accountability to both Congress and hardworking taxpayers. A continuation along the current course poses far too much risk for our economy and taxpayers which we simply cannot allow.” – Chairmen Hensarling, Chaffetz, Huizenga, and Jordan.
