What the CRS released this week

The 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 China, NATO, bankruptcy, and much more. While these reports are in the public domain there is no central database available to the public.
