Congressional Secrets On Web Site
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...

5. Welcome to DU and thank you for alerting to this important resource. -nt



Members of Congress, from left to right, Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.), and Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) head down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House, June 16, to deliver petitions demanding President Bush tell the truth on Downing Street Memo evidence that he lied to sell the Iraq war to the American people.

Peace.

www.missionnotaccomplished.us - Any candidate worthy of our vote in the 2006 Congressional elections should have filed charges against Bu$h and the neoconsters before March 19 2006.

7. Congressional Secrets???
Edited on Mon Jun-27-05 04:15 PM by Mich Otter
I thought you meant secrets like; who their mistresses are, which escort services they use for their professional sex workers, who supplies the drugs for their parties, what kinds of kinkiness they like, which companies are paying for all of these things, etc...
Oh yeah, welcome to DU. You'll love it here.
