Congressional Research Service Reports on ProQuest Congressional

By David Webster •  October 29, 2016

Need thorough and authoritative information about NAFTA, or mandatory vaccination laws, or U.S. interests in the Philippines? The Congressional Reference Service provides information, research, and analysis of the highest quality to Congress, and makes its 1000+ new public policy reports each year available to Jenkins members 24/7 through ProQuest Congressional.

Once you have logged into jenkinslaw.org, access Member Databases, access ProQuest Congressional, then click on Search for CRS Reports. Reports are available from 2011 to present.

By default, searches are run in “All Fields Except Text” but you can search full-text, author, subject and other fields. You can review suggested subject terms by clicking on “Find Terms.” You also can restrict your search by date, and rank your results by date or by relevance.

Results are presented in summary form, along with the date of the report and the length of the full report. Click on “Full Text - PDF” to read or download the full report.

ProQuest Congressional is a membership database available to all Jenkins’ members. For help using this or any of the member databases, call us at 215-574-1505, email to research@jenkinslaw.org, or chat with us.
