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
