The Congressional Research Service (CRS) is a legislative branch agency of the Library of Congress that provides research and analysis to members of Congress about legislative issues. P.L. 115-141 directed the creation of crsreports.congress.gov as a way to provide public access to CRS Reports. This is an on-going project. Select documents not found on the official CRS Reports website may be found through other databases and websites. See below for more details.
