How did the money supply change in the six months after gold window closed?

Research question: How did the Federal Reserve's balance sheet and the money supply change in the six months immediately following the closing of the gold window, and what did contemporaneous Federal Reserve reports say about these shifts?

The verified facts only partly address this question. They confirm that after the gold window closed in 1971, the dollar fell on currency markets ¹. They do not report any change in the Federal Reserve's balance sheet or the money supply over the following six months, and they contain no contemporaneous Federal Reserve reports on those shifts ¹. The newest fact is from 1971, about 55 years before the current date of October 2026 ¹.
