  "summary": "Using data on congressional floor-speech citations and committee testimony, this article studies how think tanks influence Congress even though they are formally barred from lobbying. Ideological positioning shapes different forms of access: more extreme think tanks are cited more often in speeches, while more moderate think tanks are called to testify more often in committees. The broader claim is that think tanks strategically position themselves to supply expertise that legislators find politically useful.",
