"You might add that we are required by law to count and audit the gold supply at Fort Knox, but we have never done that. That would be a good question for a Presidential candidate."
I know Ron Paul's answer. 8-)

"Another question that has come up frequently with Kitco, and I’ll ask Congressman Paul this one. Do you think it is appropriate for the American people to ask for an audit of Fort Knox for full disclosure of how much gold is really in there?
R. Paul: Yes, and going back to the Gold Commission, that subject came up then and I recommended that we do that, and that was again defeated 15 to 2. They said they have an ongoing audit. They audit 5% every year, so eventually they audit the whole thing. They also said that there once was an audit in the 1970’s but those who participated in the audit considered it inadequate. I think it would be a good idea because you hear stories and of course those who believe in conspiracies drum up a lot of stories. It seems like someone like myself on the Banking Committee, on the Domestic Monetary Subcommittee, having served on the Gold Commission, that you think that I would have the ability to get this done. But I can’t even figure out what The Fed is doing because their meetings are totally secret and they don’t reveal their policies. It’s a closed system in the monetary sense, and I think that is tragic."
