Public Access to CRS Reports Temporarily Curtailed?

Each year the Congressional Research Search (CRS) publishes approximately 1,000 reports of which the public may have access to several hundred. In an interesting change of policy, Secrecy News reports that access to selected reports previously provided via the websites of two members of Congress, Rep. Mark Green (R-WI) and Rep. Christopher Shays (R-CT), has been terminated. However, the Committee on House Administration apparently indicated that access via Congressional websites is still permitted with appropriate arrangements.
