Excerpt from Report of the Select Committee on Reform in the Civil Service Relative to Charges Against the United States Civil Service Commission, Under Resolution Passed by the House of Representatives, January 27, 1890 Your committee can not accept as satisfactory the answer of Messrs. Oberly, Lyman, and Doyle, that they believe that the questions Camp bell copied were obsolete. The facts dis'closed to your committee con vince them that the omission to ascertain the truth was as reprehensible as to have disregarded it after it had been ascertained, and is little less culpable; and whether they failed through indifference or partiality to learn the facts, or, knowing them, failed to take such action as the public service obviously demanded, is not a matter of great consequence; the neglect of duty in either case is condemned.

For 100 years, the Congressional Research Service (CRS) has been charged with providing nonpartisan and authoritative research and analysis to inform the legislative debate in Congress. This has involved a wide range of services, such as written reports on issues and the legislative process, consultations with Members and their staff, seminars on policy and procedural matters, and congressional testimony. The Government and Finance Division at CRS took a step back from its intensive day-to-day service to Congress to analyze important trends in the evolution of the institution-its organization and policymaking process-over the last many decades. Changes in the political landscape, technology, and representational norms have required Congress to evolve as the Nation's most democratic national institution of governance. The essays in this print demonstrate that Congress has been a flexible institution that has changed markedly in recent years in response to the social and political environment.
