By the way, CRS Reports are excellent sources of information on many issues that are considered by Congress. CRS stands for Congressional Research Service. It is part of the Library of Congress and works for Congress to provide comprehensive, objective analysis and research on all legislative issues. There is an excellent pathfinder for CRS reports at http://www.llrx.com/features/crsreports.htm#Locating.
