To help the Office of Technology Assessment do its job, the Librarian of Congress may provide it with services and assistance from the Congressional Research Service. This includes anything the Research Service is otherwise allowed to give Congress. Giving this help to the Office does not change or reduce the Research Service's other duties to Congress. The Office may or may not reimburse the Research Service for this help, as agreed.

(a) To help carry out the goals of this chapter, the Librarian of Congress is allowed to provide the Office with services and assistance from the Congressional Research Service, as appropriate and practical. (b) This help may include, but is not limited to, all the services and assistance the Congressional Research Service is otherwise authorized to give to Congress. (c) This section does not change or reduce any other services or duties the Congressional Research Service performs for Congress, aside from what it does for the Office. However, the Librarian is allowed to set up new divisions, groups, or other parts within the Congressional Research Service as needed to carry out this chapter's purpose. (d) The Office may pay the Congressional Research Service for the help it receives — or not — depending on what the Board and the Librarian of Congress agree to.
