The congressional Office of Technology Assessment (OTA), which formally closed its doors last fall, delivered its final legacy to the Congress in the form of a CD-ROM collection of all 755 research reports prepared for the Congress over the agency's 23-year history.

The collection is fully indexed and stored in portable document format (PDF), readable using Adobe's cross-platform Acrobat reader software.
