The Senate Office of Public Records (OPR) receives, processes, and maintains for public inspection records, reports, and other documents filed with the Secretary of the Senate involving the Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA), the Ethics in Government Act, the Mutual Security Act, and the Senate Code of Official Conduct. As provided by various Senate rules, OPR also handles public financial disclosure, reimbursed travel reports, registration of mass mailings, political fund designations, and supervisors' reports on individuals performing Senate services. The office reviews the filings of and provides guidance to registrants under the LDA.

The CRRC researcher database currently consists of two distinct collections: 1) Saddam Hussein’s Iraq; and 2) al-Qaeda and Associated Movements (overwhelmingly from Afghanistan).

It contains over 1,300 records, constituting over 59,000 pages and 195 hours of audio, with new records added weekly. All records in the CRRC consist of a file information sheet containing basic background information, a digital copy or audio file of the original record in Arabic, and a full English translation. The CRRC researcher database includes software that can search the full breadth of the English-language information sheets and translations, though not the Arabic texts. Please note that the quality of the translations and Arabic transcriptions (in the case of the audio) varies, and that the Arabic audio files and digital documents are the official records, not the translations or transliterations.

The Conflict Records Research Center (CRRC) was established to fulfill the Secretary of Defense’s intent to enable research into captured records with “complete openness and rigid adherence to academic freedom and integrity.” The CRRC’s mission is to facilitate the use of captured records to support research, both within and outside the government.

Electronic copies reside in a restricted U.S. Government database. The CRRC’s primary purpose is to make copies of a significant portion of these records available to scholars in the CRRC’s researcher database. We seek to make these copies, along with full English translations, available as quickly and responsibly as possible, while taking into account legitimate national security concerns, the integrity of the academic process, and risks to innocent individuals. Established at the direction of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Policy) (OUSD(P)), the center operates under the National Defense University’s Institute for National Strategic Studies (INSS).

Established in 1972, the National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS) is a federally funded resource offering justice and drug-related information to support research, policy, and program development worldwide.

The NCJRS Virtual Library contains bibliographic information and abstracts of more than 230,000 collection resources and over 80,000 online materials, including all known OJP works. https://www.ncjrs.gov/whatsncjrs.html%5C

The Federal Register is the official journal of record for acts of the United States government. The publication is a primary source for proposed rules, final rules, and rule changes within U.S. federal agencies, as well as for executive orders and other presidential documents. Updated daily and printed Monday through Friday (with the exception of federal holidays), the Federal Register includes the following categories:

• Presidential documents, executive orders, and proclamations
• Rules and regulations (policy statements and interpretations of rules by federal agencies)
• Proposed rules (petitions by agencies for assistance in rulemaking and other proposals
• Notices (scheduled hearings and meetings open to the public, grant applications, and administrative orders)

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) allows the public to request records from federal agencies.

The CGP is the search tool for print and electronic titles of the National Bibliography of U.S. Government Publications. The National Bibliography is made up of publications from across the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the U.S. Government.

The CGP is a bibliography, not a document repository. The CGP will only provide links to full-text resources that are the official, authoritative copy of an electronic resource.

Scope:

• Bibliographic information for new and historic Government Publications dating back to the late 1800s
• Over one million bibliographic records generated since July 1976.
• Over 240,000 links to official full-text electronic titles.
• Updated daily.
