Congressional Research Service
Selected New or Recently Updated Reports from the Congressional Research Service (Late August Update)
Here we go with another round of new or recenty revised CRS material. I have thrown in a couple of new discoveries as well. Access to these and many more reports are available from either the web site of Rep. Chris Shays or Rep. Mark Green. Once on either of these pages, click and scroll to the appropriate report. All reports are .pdf files. Direct access is not available. This means that most of these reports cannot be found using a general web search engine like AltaVista or Excite.
