	Letter from U.S. Congressman Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS) to Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. Reprinted with ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Federal Reserve’s primary reliance on open market operations and the relatively small role played by the discount window permit the Federal Reserve to minimize its involvement in credit allocation and improve its ability to conduct monetary policy for the benefit of the nation as a whole.
		The regional Federal Reserve Banks were also empowered to discount trade paper directly, for up to five years' final maturity, showing clearly the intent of the framers that the banks should have the ability to smooth over longer-term market fluctuations as well.
		Chairman Greenspan is thinking in "zero-sum game" terms which ignore the fact that the basic purpose of a central bank is to "create money," and that as long as the new money is used productively to create new wealth, the result will be non-inflationary.
