Some recent reports of the Congressional Research Service obtained by Secrecy News include the following:
“Renditions: Constraints Imposed by Laws on Torture” (pdf), updated April 5, 2006.
“Treatment of ‘Battlefield Detainees’ in the War on Terrorism” (pdf), updated March 27, 2006.
“Polygraph Use by the Department of Energy: Issues for Congress” (pdf), updated April 7, 2006.
“Oversight of Dual-Use Biological Research: The National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity” (pdf), March 28, 2006.
“Nuclear Weapons: The Reliable Replacement Warhead Program” (pdf), updated March 9, 2006.
China is NOT a nuclear “peer” of the United States, as some contend.
China’s total number of approximately 600 warheads constitutes only a small portion of the United States’ estimated stockpile of 3,700 warheads.
The Federation of American Scientists strongly supports the Modernizing Wildfire Safety and Prevention Act of 2025.
The Federation of American Scientists strongly supports the Regional Leadership in Wildland Fire Research Act of 2025.
In an era of such massive sweeps upending federal programs, increased transparency is even more important to provide the public with the knowledge necessary to respond and hold the government accountable.
