S. Res 118: A Resolution to provide internet access to certain Congressional Research publications [Open Congress]
Though you as taxpayers fund the Library of Congress' Congressional Research Service, its useful reports on public policy issues are not released to the public unless outside groups like the Center for Democracy and Technology obtain copies and publish them. This bill would require that these reports be released online. You might also be concerned about HR 801, The Fair Copyright in Research Works Act, which would nullify the National Institute of Health's requirement that the research it funds be made freely available on the internet soon after its publication in professional journals.
