The Congressional Research Service (CRS), in the Library of Congress, is a non-partisan public policy research arm of the United States Congress established in 1914 (38 Stat. 1005 and 60 Stat. 836; now codified at 2 U.S.C. 166). The agency serves Congress exclusively and provides members and committees with reference and research services as well as in-depth analysis of legislative issues. With a staff of more than 700, CRS produces or updates some 3,000 studies and other publications annually. CRS does not distribute its reports to the public, nor does it make them available on the Internet. Many of the above links to CRS products were obtained through the courtesy of a member of Congress or a staff member working in Congress and then optically scanned. Some of the CRS Report logos were changed to minimize having dark backgrounds on the PDF copies. See LLRX.com article on CRS Reports by Stephen Young. 

Various legislative proposals have been made in past congresses to place CRS reports on the Internet, including H.R. 3630 (108th Congress - press release), S. Res. 54 (108th Congress - Press Release), S. Res. 21 (107th Congress), H.R. 654 (106th Congress), H.R. 4582 (106th Congress), S. 393, (106th Congress), H.R. 3131 (105th Congress), and S. 1578 (105th Congress - hearings held). See internal memo on the CRS perspective of making its products public and an op-ed in support of making them public by columnist Cragg Hines.
