It's a search engine for Congressional Research Service Reports and is easier to copy/paste from into HN than the PDFs themselves:

Thanks... though I think it would be great to refer to original sources, rather than some random site that adds... what value? They do add Google Analytics/tracking, I would not consider that "added value".

> CRS is Congress’ think tank, and its reports are relied upon by academics, businesses, judges, policy advocates, students, librarians, journalists, and policymakers for accurate and timely analysis of important policy issues. The reports are not classified and do not contain individualized advice to any specific member of Congress. (More: What is a CRS report?)

> Until today, CRS reports were generally available only to the well-connected.

The original sources have not been generally available to the public.
