CONGRESSIONAL RESEARCH REPORTS NOW AVAILABLE FREE


All reports (over 6780, 127,000 pages) from the US Congressional Research Service are now available for free from WikiLeaks. The reports date back to 1990 and “are highly regarded as non-partisan, in-depth, and timely.” There are alphabetical and chronological lists, but no index. All are in pdf files.

They are supposed to be included in OpenCRS, but I didn’t find one I had found in the WikiLeaks list. Maybe they haven’t indexed them all yet.
