The Analyst provides public policy analysis and consultation to congressional committees, Members, and staff; prepares innovative analytical studies on aspects of federal policies as they relate to industrial organization, with an emphasis on the information and communication industry; and plans, organizes and coordinates multi-disciplinary team research projects and seminars.
CRS works exclusively for the United States Congress, providing policy and legal analysis to committees and Members of both the House and Senate, regardless of party affiliation. As a legislative branch agency within the Library of Congress, CRS has been a valued and respected resource on Capitol Hill for nearly a century.
