cnbc at 1 pm tomorrow est . (The Fed is due to release a policy statement tomorrow at about 12:30 p.m. New York [1] time, and Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke [2] is scheduled to speak to reporters at 2:15 p.m.)  Bernanke Meets the Press 

The Fed chairman is holding the first scheduled press conference in Fed history tomorrow.

--snip--Tomorrow, the notoriously close-mouthed Federal Reserve is holding the first scheduled press conference in its entire history [3]. As part of a push for transparency and public approval, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will now submit to media questioning four times a year, following meetings where the Federal Open Market Committee updates its economic outlook.

This is something of a radical change, by Fed standards, and a curious one. Until 1994, the Fed declined even to notify the public of policy changes, leaving an army of Wall Street "Fed watchers" to figure them out for themselves. The FOMC did not regularly release statements until 1999. Most Fed chairmen have tended to shy away from the cameras. Now, Bernanke is thrusting himself in front of them.[//more at link]

Will the dollar tank even more after this meeting? Going below 76-73 cents?

But of course, they are really good at not giving up much information. And, one has to wonder, is there more then one set of books??
