Congressional Research Service reports

This week brings us Congressional Research Service (CRS) reports on Iraq, the electricity industry, intelligence, and much more. 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:

• India-U.S. Relations
• Iraq: Oil and Gas Legislation, Revenue Sharing, and U.S. Policy
• Electric Transmission: Approaches for Energizing a Sagging Industry
• Iraqi Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons: A Deepening Humanitarian Crisis?
• Intelligence Issues for Congress
• Cost-of-Living Adjustments for Federal Civil Service Annuities
• Retirement Savings Accounts: Fees, Expenses, and Account Balances
