The Politics of the Policy Process (Prof. Brenda K. Bushouse)

Quick start

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) is a public policy research department of the U.S. Congress. The department issues non-partisan reports for members of Congress to support the decision-making process. These reports can assist legal researchers in understanding the background and context of bills and laws.


GAO Reports are produced by the Government Accountability Office. The GAO is a government "watchdog" that investigates how agencies spend tax dollars.
