This week from CRS

Ahh, it's Tuesday and the heat has arrived. Why not sit back in the air conditioning and enjoy a few reports from the Congressional Research Service (CRS). The CRS is a research agency for the U.S. Congress and writes reports at their request. This week brings us reports on the Iraq, nuclear weapons, the budget, 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. Or you can check out these reports from OpenCRS and Secrecy News:
