CRS Tuesday: Two Reports on Congress and the Internet

September 4th, 2007 by John Wonderlich · No Comments

This Tuesday I’m looking at two CRS reports about Congress, Information Technology, and the Internet.

First is a new report called Congress and the Internet: Highlights, which is a great overview of technology in Congress, and also of a sort of administrative view of technological transformation and its likely effects on policy. It ends with a defense of representative democracy, with a triple-threat of quotes from the Federalist Papers, Newt Gingrich, and Yogi Berra. A fascinating read.

The other report I’ve posted about before, but there is a more recent version now available, about House IT issues, dissecting the technological and administrative structure of House IT resources.
