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 only a few reports on defense issues. 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 Open CRS and the Thurgood Marshall Law Library:

• NATO in Afghanistan: A Test of the Transatlantic Alliance
• Russia-Georgia Conflict in South Ossetia: Context and Implications for U.S. Interests
• Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia: Political Developments and Implications for U.S. Interests

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