[SIGCIS-Members] Congressional Research Service Report Dump

[John Laprise]

Wikileaks has taken receipt of the complete catalog of Congressional
Research Service (CRS) reports. The CRS writes non-partisan reports on every
conceivable topic addressed by Congress. All of these materials are supposed
to be in the public domain but are released to the public at the discretion
of members. Previously, only a very select few reports were ever made
public. Apparently (and my guess), some member of congress who wished to
remain anonymous gave them all to wikileaks. Their website is understandably
under a considerable load at the moment.
