Office of Technology Strategy and Legislative Analysis

The Office of Technology Strategy and Legislative Analysis (TLA) aligns technology planning and support functions, visual design services including research support in the development of GIS-based content, and legislative analysis services. This ensures that CRS utilizes modern technology and tools to develop and deliver content to our congressional clients that meets their needs. TLA provides objective, nonpartisan legislative analysis and enhances congressional access to timely and authoritative legislative information through Congress.gov. The office works in partnership with other Library units, the Clerk of the House of Representatives, the Secretary of the Senate, the Government Publishing Office and other legislative branch offices in order to ensure accurate, timely and complete access to legislative information. TLA also develops innovative tools to improve understanding of legislative documents, responds to congressional queries about the use and content of legislative information systems, and maintains authoritative Member and staff data records.
