This is an official government site which allows you to browse, search, and access all Federal Agencies which spend significant amounts of money on generating statistical reports - many do, so do not be surprised at the long list. It is a convenient way to do research on different agencies in the bureaucracy. You can search by agency or topic. There is also a convenient guide to the "Kids' Sites" at each government department or agency.
