WASHINGTON, March 19 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner will testify March 23 on housing finance before the U.S. House of Representatives Financial Services Committee, a Republican aide to the committee said on Friday.

This week Geithner told lawmakers "fundamental reform" of the government's role in the housing finance market is needed but that it will be next year before proposals are ready for Congress.

The hearing will take place at 10:00 a.m. (1400 GMT). (Reporting by Nancy Waitz; Editing by James Dalgleish)
