CDT Urges Congress to Make CRS Reports Available

CDT URGES CONGRESS TO MAKE CRS REPORTS AVAILABLE
[SOURCE: Center for Democracy & Technology]
CDT Executive Director Leslie Harris urged lawmakers to make the unclassified, taxpayer-funded reports produced by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) available to the public over the Internet. Harris joined other open government advocates at an event on Capitol Hill to unveil the recommendations of the Open House Project, a collaborative effort launched earlier this year by the Sunlight Foundation to make the House of Representatives more readily accessible to ordinary citizens on the Web. CDT created OpenCRS.com in 2005 to increase the public availability of CRS reports and has long advocated for Congress to make the reports fully available to the public online.
