Pandemic-relief / PPP-EIDL role

Cowley co-authored the April 22, 2020 Times story on banks giving their largest clients "concierge treatment" during the first PPP round (article; it is also cited in the April 23, 2020 Warren/Velázquez/Waters letter and in the San Francisco Fed's Twelfth District research brief, and we have copies of both).

The San Francisco Fed brief cites her PPP reporting.
