GPO’s Mission Is Validated by an Independent Study

GPO’s Mission Is Validated by an Independent Study
by Miriam A. Drake
“Every 5 years or so, Congress or an individual member of Congress decides it is time to study the Government Printing Office (GPO). The studies usually focus on the mission of GPO, cost savings, and the process of shifting printing to private industry or the federal agencies. Often Congress seems to forget that most of the printing done by GPO is contracted out to private companies and that U.S.C. Title 44 mandates that agencies procure printing through GPO. The latest study, “Rebooting the Government Printing Office: Keeping America Informed in the Digital Age,” was performed by the National Association of Public Administration. The report “affirms GPO’s mission of authenticating, preserving, and distributing Federal information.” The report also recommends measures to strengthen the agency’s business model and activities for the future.”
