This list of issue areas was created and assigned to bills by the Congressional Research Service, a government agency created by Congress to provide non-partisan research. Use the "sort by" options above to view this list of more than 4,000 issue areas in other ways (by most-viewed, or by most-associated, which means that the issue is affected by the largest number of bills). On the page for each issue area below, you can see any recent bills that the CRS tagged as relevant and subscribe to an RSS feed for updates. "My OpenCongress" users can track any issue area easily on their profiles, participate on comment boards, and more.
