Congressional Research Service Reports

Here are the latest discoveries from the Congressional Research Service (CRS). The CRS give concise, non-partisan views of a topic of interest to Congress. There is no free source of all these reports from the U.S. government, but there are groups that work to collect these reports (which are available upon request from your congressional representatives and/or senators). These are the reports that OpenCRS and Secrecy News released this week:
