that “Steve Stoft has rigged up a custom Google search to search “just about every CRS report available on the web”.
The Congressional Research Service (CRS) is the public policy research arm of the US Congress. With its $80 million budget and 800 employees, it issues about 3,000 briefs, reports, short issue papers and longer position papers per year.
An arm of the Library of Congress, CRS is renowned for its non-partisanship and in-depth analysis, but it does not make it reports available to the public. However, it cannot prevent congressmen from giving them out individually and some government agencies from posting reports they find relevant. Perhaps 1000 have become available on the web.
