Web Site Makes Gov't. Reports Available

An AP newswire article by Ted Bridis, via ABC Technology News, reports that:

A new Web site aims to make widely available to the public certain government reports about topics from terrorism to Social Security that congressional researchers prepare and distribute now only to lawmakers.

The site
www.opencrs.com links more than a half-dozen existing collections of nearly 8,000 reports from the Congressional Research Service and centrally indexes them so visitors can find reports containing specific terms or phrases.

It also encourages visitors to ask their lawmakers to send them any reports not yet publicly available and gives detailed instructions to do this so these can be added to the collection. None of the reports is classified or otherwise restricted.
