CRS Reports Now Harder to Obtain

This blog has posted several times about the usefulness of CRS Reports as research documents. Now, according to the CRS Director Daniel Mulhollan, CRS reports cannot be distributed to "non-Congressionals" without prior approval from CRS officials. See Mulhollan's memo here.
In 1998, the U.S. Senate Committee on Rules and Administration encouraged the publication of CRS Reports on the Internet, and over the years there has been support for making these reports widely available via the Internet. You can read an article written by Stephen Young for LLRX about CRS Reports here.
Here is a list of sites where you can find CRS reports on various topics:
