Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

The co-sponsors of the Monetary Reform and
Accountability Act, H.R. 3732, which would
require the U.S. Treasury Department and
its Exchange Stabilization Fund to obtain the
approval of Congress before intervening in
the gold market, were easily re-elected
Tuesday.

U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, received 68
percent of the vote, and U.S. Rep. John B.
Larson, D-Conn., received 67 percent.

CHRIS POWELL, Secretary/Treasurer
