CDT’s OpenCRS project collects and indexes Congressional Research Service (CRS) reports and makes them available to the public free of charge. Each week, PolicyBeta features a CRS report on an important topic. For more reports, or to help contribute new reports to the OpenCRS database, visit the Web site.

This week’s report addresses the use of “National Security Letters,” an extremely powerful tool that law enforcement can use to onbtain criminal suspects’ personal and business records. CDT Policy Director Jim Dempsey testified before Congress on the use of NSLs in March.
