Anonymous Lawmaker Helps to Build OpenCRS Database

“A member of Congress has agreed to provide [Center for Democracy and Technology} CDT with a running list of new Congressional Research Service reports in order to help bolster CDT’s OpenCRS project, which provides the reports to the public at no cost. CRS generates in-depth, non-partisan research on a wide range of issues critical to Americans, but while the taxpayer-funded reports are unclassified, the government has never made them readily available to the public. Drawing on the catalog provided by the lawmaker — who asked to remain anonymous — CDT has created a list of “fugitive” reports that are not yet in the database. OpenCRS is an interactive project that encourages users to obtain and add new reports to the database.”
