Selected recent CRS reports

In continued celebration of Sunshine week, today I want to highlight Congressional Research Service (CRS) Reports. As mentioned last week, while CRS reports are not classified, the average citizen can only get these reports by requesting them from his or her Senator or Representative. Here are this weeks reports from OpenCRS and Federation of American Scientists:

• Follow-On Biologics: Intellectual Property and Innovation Issues
• House Committee Funding, 110th Congress
• Climate Change: The Role of the U.S. Agriculture Sector
• Modifying the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT): Revenue Costs and Potential Revenue Offsets
