Ben S. Bernanke testified about his nomination as the chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Mr. Bernanke told the committee that his top priority would be to continue the policies of retiring chairman, Alan Greenspan, including his interest-rate policies and efforts to enhance transparency in the markets.
