All Government Report

Government Report groups official government commissioned studies whose publication itself became a policy turning point, separate from the legislation or programs that followed from them. Belongs here: a formally commissioned report, such as A Nation at Risk, the 1983 report that warned of a rising tide of mediocrity in American schools, or the Coleman Report, the 1966 study of school resources and student outcomes that reshaped the desegregation and school funding debate. Does not belong here: a statute or program enacted in response to a report, which is grouped under its own type such as US Federal Legislation or US Federal Program.
