Money Trust Investigation: Investigation of Financial and Monetary Conditions in the United States Under House Resolutions Nos. 429 and 504
Description:
In 1912, a special subcommittee was convened by the Chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee, Arsene P. Pujo. Its purpose was to investigate the "money trust," a small group of Wall Street bankers that exerted powerful control over the nation's finances. The committee's majority report concluded that a group of financial leaders had abused the public trust to consolidate control over many industries. The Pujo Committee report created a climate of public opinion that lead to the passage of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914.
The hearings were conducted between May 16, 1912 and February 26, 1913. The transcript of the hearings was published in three volumes. It is presented in the original 29 parts with the index, a table of interlocking directorates of 18 financial institutions, and the majority/minority report of the committee.

H.R. 5700 (the Banking Reform Act of 1971): a bill to prohibit certain conflicts of interest and encourage competition in the banking industry and related fields to provide for restrictions and disclosures with respect to certain loans, to prohibit brokered deposits in banks and other financial institutions, to prohibit the use of giveaways in the solicitation of deposits, to permit full deposit insurance for government depositors, and for other purposes.

These hearings took place from April 20 - May 4, 1971. Included are statements from such individuals as Arthur Burns, Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; William Camp, Comptroller of the Currency; Preston Martin, Chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board; Richard Smith, Commissioner of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and Frank Wille, Chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
