Congressional Research Service for this week

Ah, another day another Congressional Research Service (CRS) report. The CRS is a research agency for the U.S. Congress and writes reports at their request. This week brings us reports on Iraq, drug evaluation by the FDA, and much more. This is NOT a complete list of recent reports, only members of Congress have access to a complete list, but these are reports requested from Congress by members of the public, like you. If you want to request a report, just talk to your local Representative or Senator. These are the reports that OpenCRS and Secrecy News found and released this week:

• FY2007 Supplemental Appropriations for Defense, Foreign Affairs, and Other Purposes
  
• Congressional Authority To Limit U.S. Military Operations in Iraq
