Subject: Fugitive CRS Reports

Following up on John's comments about the slow progress of getting  
CRS products up online and the follow up,  I actually have a small  
bit of good news to report from OpenCRS.com and something that you  
can do to help.

We have been having some good conversations with individual offices  
on the issue and one member (anonymously) gave us the list of the new  
reports from the past 6 weeks.  From this list, we know that we've  
gotten 76 of 100 new reports from that time frame.

Because Congress still has no time frame to release the reports, we  
are going to start putting out the missing reports as a checklist  
when we get these lists  and asking Internet users to help us get  
them all.

Librarians call missing documents "fugitives," that might help the  
picture in your mind as you call.  We are posting here first and we  
will be posting whatever is left on the CDT blog tomorrow.

All you need to do is:

1) Pick a report that sounds interesting from the list below
2) Call up one of your representatives offices in DC
3) Ask them to email you a pdf of the report
4) Post it at http://www.opencrs.com/addreport.php
