Congressional Research Service reports
Reports by the Congressional Research Service, usually referred to as CRS Reports, are the encyclopedic, public domain research reports written to clearly define issues in a legislative context.〔 Over 700 new CRS reports are produced each year;〔(Guide to CRS Reports on the Web )〕 almost 4,000 exist.〔 The types of CRS reports include Issue Briefs (IB), Research Memos (RM), and Reports, which appear in both Short (RS) and Long (RL) formats.

Other than a passing generic (reference to “reports” ) in its statutory charter, CRS has no mandate for these products.〔See 2 U.S.C. § 166(d)(4).〕 They are created in the context of the overall mission of CRS to provide research support to Congress.〔Government Information Quarterly Volume 26, Issue 3, July 2009, Pages 437-440〕
The Library of Congress, the home of CRS, had experimented during the 1940s with unrestricted publication ''Public Affairs Bulletins'', which were produced by staff of the Legislative Reference Service, and devoted to various public policy issues. They were promoted by Archibald MacLeish, the Librarian of Congress, and, among other topics, addressed timely policy issues, such as American national defense. About 100 ''Public Affairs Bulletins'' were generated 〔 before congressional appropriators ended their production in 1951.〔See 65 Stat. 398.〕
When the ''Congressional Research Service Review'' was launched in 1980, it continued for a little more than a decade before congressional appropriators, once again, invoked fiscal closure with the last issue published v. 13 #9 (Sept. 1992). The Review, which was published ten times a year and available to the public by subscription, offered original analytical articles, summaries highlighting CRS research products, and other kinds of assistance to the congressional community.〔
