Congressional Research Service brings us...

This week brings us Congressional Research Service (CRS) reports on food, trade and unemployment. CRS is a research agency of Congress and writes reports at Congress's request. These short reports (usually 10-40 pages long) cover recent topics of concern. While these reports are in the public domain there is no central database available to the public. To get a copy of a CRS report you can request it from your Senator or Representative. This list is compiled from CRS reports discovered by Secrecy News and OpenCRS:

• The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN)
• Campaign Finance: Developments in the 110th Congress
• U.S. Trade Statutes: Expiration Dates and Mandated Periodic Reports to Congress
• Congressional Investigations of the Department of Justice, 1920-2007: History, Law, and Practice
• U.S. Food and Agricultural Imports: Safeguards and Selected Issues

Interested in historical CRS reports? If you are here at the Boulder campus, check out the LexisNexis Congressional database, which has reports back to 1916.

Not on campus, but still want access to additional reports? The library has a guide linking to various additional sources of CRS reports.
