Advocating Greater Access to Government Information

Daniel Schuman of the Sunlight Foundation, a non-profit organization that seeks to harness the internet to increase access to government information and governmental transparency, testified before House Appropriations Committee’s Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch about the importance of increasing access to Congressional Research Service (CRS) reports and THOMAS data.  The full written testimony is available on the Sunlight Foundation blog.  For more information on the issues relating to access to the CRS report, check out our earlier blog post on this topic, Paying for CRS reports twice? or the UNT Digital Library.
