The House Financial Services Committee said Tuesday it was canceling all of its hearings for the week. The panel was supposed to hear Wednesday from Bernanke on how the Fed planned to unwind the many liquidity programs put in place during the financial crisis.

Bernanke is also expected to appear later this month to give his semiannual monetary policy report to Congress.

The Fed plans to release Bernanke’s testimony as prepared for delivery Wednesday even though the Fed chairman’s actual appearance has been postponed.
