Testimony

To articulate their research directly to key policymakers, Cato scholars present oral and written congressional testimony before legislative committees at the state and federal level.

Legal Briefs

Cato scholars participate in the public comment process held by government agencies in response to proposed regulations and/or the finalization of official reports.
