Congressional Research Service (CRS) Reports

Congressional Research Service (CRS) is a research agency of Congress and writes reports at Congress' request. These short reports (usually 10-40 pages long) cover recent topics of concern. This week brings us reports on congressional intelligence, net neutrality, Guinea, Uzbekistan, and other topics. Although 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. These reports were discovered by OpenCRS:

• Department of Defense Fuel Spending, Supply, Acquisition, and Policy
• Federal Research and Development Funding: FY2010

• Guinea's 2008 Military Coup and Relations with the United States
