All well and good, but . . . is it just me, or does anyone else find it the topic slightly ironic given that the CRS itself seems reluctant to release unclassified and non-confidential (public domain) copies of their reports in any systematic way, and no comprehensive list of these reports is even publicly available? As the first sentence of the Report notes, “Openness is fundamental to representative government.” That openness should include access these valuable public policy documents paid for with our tax dollars.
