Finding CRS REports by Topic

Note: The Congressional Research Service is a branch of the Library of Congress devoted to providing for Congress research and objective analysis on legislative issues. CRS Reports do not become public until a member of Congress releases the report. There is no one web site that lists all CRS Reports. But an effective search to find CRS Reports available on the Internet can be done via Google. Sample searches:

Google search: "CRS Report to Congress"
Google search: "CRS Report to Congress" "climate change"
Google search: "CRS Report to Congress" endangered
Google search: "CRS Report to Congress" iraq

Requesting CRS REports

If you know the title of a CRS Report and it is not available online, you can request a copy from your member of Congress.
