CRS Reports

Congressional Research Service (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 CRS reports on the funding, nuclear weapons, 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:

• Davis-Bacon Act Coverage and the State Revolving Fund Program Under the Clean Water Act
• The U.S. Science and Technology Workforce
• Nuclear Cooperation Agreement with Russia: Statutory Procedures for Congressional Consideration
• The Global Nuclear Detection Architecture: Issues for Congress
• Protection of Classified Information by Congress: Practices and Proposals
• Presidential Appointments to Full-time Positions in Executive Departments During the 109th Congress, 2005-2006
• The Interagency Security Committee and Security Standards for Federal Buildings
• Earthquakes: Risk, Monitoring, Notification, and Research
