The Congressional Research Service works exclusively for the Congress. conducting research, analyzing legislation, and providing information at the request of committees, Mem- bers, and their staffs.

The Service makes such research available, without parti- san bias, in many forms including studies, reports, compila- tions, digests, and background briefings. Upon request, CRS assists committees in analyzing legislative proposals and issues, and in assessing the possible effects of these proposals and their alternatives. The Service's senior specialists and subject analysts are also available for personal consultations in their respective fields of expertise.
