    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

    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.

    approximately 20,000 different printed and electronic publications that
    originate in various Government agencies, and administers the depository
