Acts of the Federal Reserve are secret, I don't believe there is any way to know the answer to this question. The Federal Reserve has had an expansionary monetary policy for some years now. This is very evident by their interest rate moves. Lower interest rates expands (hence the term) the money supply. This kind of policy is what the Fed should do when faced with a weakening economy or a liquidity crisis. It is the opposite of what happened during the Great Depression, when the Fed had a contraction monetary policy. In short, an expansionary monetary policy is characterized by lowering of interest rates (characterized by the buying of bonds and lowering of the Federal Funds Rate target, which has obviously happened), a decrease in the discount window (again, obvious), and lowering of the Reserve Ratio. The RR is kind of the "nuclear option" for the Fed, and it is very very rarely ever changed. Now, in August 2007 in particular, that Fed kept the Federal Funds Rate the same but lowered the discount window. See attached link for a history of the Fed interest rate moves.
