LexisNexis Congressional Research Digital Collection

Committee Prints and Congressional Research Service Reports in ONE product

The real work of Congress is not performed on the floor of the House or the Senate, but in the hearing rooms and offices of hundreds of Congressional Committees and subcommittees. There, legislative policy is debated and developed, informed to a large extent by analysis found in Committee Prints and Congressional Research Service Reports (CRS). Both document types help legislators formulate policy decisions and provide to the public an idea of how Congress comes to its policymaking conclusion.  Where the documents diverge is in their point of view. CRS reports provide an impartial view of the topic at hand while Committee Prints set forth partisan view points. By combining the two complementary document types into one collection, the LexisNexis Congressional Research Digital Collection (CRDC) allows users to consider policy decisions from a fuller view, giving their research more contextual relevance.
