CRS reports

It is Tuesday and despite the holidays a few CRS reports have made it out into the public domain. 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. This week brings us Congressional Research Service (CRS) reports on tax reform, street gangs, Iraq, and much more. 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:

• U.S. Arms Sales to Pakistan
• Nuclear Weapons: The Reliable Replacement Warhead Program
  
• Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia: Political Developments and Implications for U.S. Interests
• China and Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction and Missiles: Policy Issues
