Congressional Research Service

From the Library of Congress Blog we share:https://crsreports.congress.gov/

"For the first time, the Library of Congress is providing Congressional Research Service (CRS) reports to the public. The reports are available online at crsreports.congress.gov. Created by experts in CRS, the reports present a legislative perspective on topics such as agriculture policy, counterterrorism operations, banking regulation, veteran’s issues and much more."

Moving forward, all new or updated reports will be added to the website as they are made available to Congress. More information can be found on the site’s Frequently Asked Questions page.

 

CRS services come in many forms:

  • reports on major policy issues
  • tailored confidential memoranda, briefings, and consultations
  • seminars and workshops
  • expert congressional testimony
  • responses to individual inquiries 

 

These reports can be helpful when doing research on American legal issues and foreign policy. 

For more information about using these reports and documents, get in touch with Political Science liaison librarian Livia Piotto (lpiotto@johncabot.edu)
