CRS Reports

505 Votes

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) uses taxpayer dollars to produce excellent reports on public policy issues ranging from foreign affairs to agriculture to health care. These reports are posted online, but on an internal system available only to Congressional offices through a password. Citizens can ask for these reports through their member of Congress, but they must know that the report exists. Currently, reports are sold by third parties or made available, when possible, by advocacy groups and others. Congress should make CRS release these reports to the public proactively and directly.

    The government should make these freely available- we shouldn't have to depend on third-party sources 'leaking' public documents!

    CRS has most if not all of their reports online now. As I get them I will upload them to Scribd.
