CRS May Go Public

If we're lucky, a bill re-introduced by Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) would make information from the Congressional Research Service available to the public. The CRS performs timely research on pending legislative issues, and is publically funded. Unfortunately, you have to buy its research at $30 a pop through third parties. On the recommendation of a Project on Government Oversight report, these two fine Senators want to make all the CRS material available online.
