a. Characterize the state of the economy.
b. Is the Federal Reserve more concerned about high inflation or the possibility of a recession? Or, is the Federal Reserve more concerned about other issues? If so, what are they?
c. What is the stated direction of recent monetary policy? What policy actions have the Federal Reserve taken to confirm that direction?

I located the sections for Testimony and Speeches and the section for Monetary Policy Report to the Congress.
In a 9806 word solution, the state of the economy is thoroughly discussed.
