Reports from Congressional Research Service

This week brings us Congressional Research Service (CRS) reports on China, Medicaid, exports, 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:

• Covert Action: Legislative Background and Possible Policy Questions
• U.S.-China Counterterrorism Cooperation: Issues for U.S. Policy
• Mexico's Drug Cartels
• Burma-U.S. Relations
• The Export Administration Act: Evolution, Provisions, and Debate
• Status of a Member of the House Who Has Been Indicted for or Convicted of a Felony
• Medicaid Citizenship Documentation

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.
