The Congressional Research Service (CRS) is the public policy research arm of the US Congress. With its $80 million budget and 800 employees, it issues about 3,000 briefs, reports, short issue papers and longer position papers per year. An arm of the Library of Congress, CRS is renowned for its non-partisanship and in-depth analysis, but it does not make its reports available to the public. However, it cannot prevent members of Congress from giving them out individually and some government agencies from posting reports they find relevant. Perhaps 1000 have become available on the web. This search looks into every* CRS report on the Web and only into CRS reports. This will be added to Academic Resources 2004 Internet MiniGuide and has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
