The Government Printing Office produces, procures, and disseminates
printed and electronic publications of the Congress as well as the
executive departments and establishments of the Federal Government.
The Government Printing Office (GPO) began operations in accordance with
Congressional Joint Resolution 25 of June 23, 1860. The activities of
GPO are outlined and defined in the public printing and documents
chapters of Title 44 of the U.S. Code.
The congressional Joint Committee on Printing serves in an oversight
capacity for the Government Printing Office. The Public Printer, who
serves as the head of the agency, is appointed by the President with the
advice and consent of the Senate.
Activities
The Government Printing Office produces and procures printed and
electronic publications for Congress and the departments and
establishments of the Federal Government. It furnishes blank paper,
inks, and similar supplies to all governmental activities on order. It
prepares catalogs and distributes and sells Government publications in
printed and electronic formats.
The Office invites bids from commercial suppliers on a wide variety
of printing and reproduction services, awards and administers contracts,
and maintains liaison between ordering agencies and contractors.
Printing and binding processes used are electronic photocomposition;
offset photography, stripping, platemaking, and press; and manual and
machine bookbinding. Electronic databases prepared for printing are
premastered for CD-ROM replication and are used to provide online
access.
The Office sells through mail orders and Government bookstores
approximately 20,000 different printed and electronic publications that
originate in various Government agencies, and administers the depository
library program through which selected Government publications are made
available in libraries throughout the country. The Office also provides
