Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and Randal Quarles, the vice chairman for supervision at the Fed, have stated in testimony before Congress that they would be providing transaction level details of their Section 13(3) Emergency Lending Facilities on a regular, ongoing basis.

Without the transaction-level details, the public has no idea which Wall Street banks or trading firms are borrowing from the Fed. Without this transaction-level detail, the public has no way of discerning if one or more particular banks are facing a liquidity squeeze, as happened in September 2008.

What is the Fed attempting to hide from the American people and why is Congress letting it get away with it? ...
