               RECOGNIZING THE GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the Government 
Printing Office, GPO, on the occasion of its 150th anniversary. GPO 
opened its doors on March 4, 1861, the same day President Abraham 
Lincoln took the oath of office. Since then GPO has used ever changing 
technologies to produce and deliver government information for 
Congress, Federal agencies, and the public. GPO plays a vital role in 
providing the printed and electronic documents necessary for Congress 
to conduct its legislative business.

  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the GPO on its 150th 
anniversary.
