My Way News - Bernanke to wage fresh battle for Fed powers:

WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke plans to wage a fresh battle against Senate efforts to scale back the Fed's role in supervising the nation's banks.

And, Bernanke said its banking duties give the Fed insights into the health of the entire banking system."
