CRS reports this week

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) is a research agency for the U.S. Congress and writes reports at their request. This week brings us reports on the climate change, agricultural subsidies, foreign policy, 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:
