Counts are records on file at Vote Files, not totals issued. Inspector General reports are those Oversight.gov lists for federal offices; the agency named is the one Oversight.gov lists as reviewed or investigated. A CBO entry is labelled a cost estimate here when CBO's title opens with a bill number, which is how CBO titles its cost estimates. CRS products are listed through the Congress.gov API. Vote Files adds no summaries; open each report for its findings.
