We consider broad access to CRS reports to be one of our goals, and cover the issue in both the related chapter of the Open House Project report (1), and in our Transparency in Government Act(2). Hopefully the House and Senate will eventually act on our suggestions, so these resources can be publicly available en masse without the annoying lag you mention!

I get what I can through Open CRS but it would be great to get all reports without a time lag. In addition, you should include a list of oversight and investigation hearings and reports from House and Senate committees. Some committees do a much better job than others making these available.
