What the Printing Industry Needs in the Next Public Printer

The idea from the beginning, when the GPO was created by Congressional Joint Resolution 25 on June 23, 1860, was to establish a coordinating body that would channel printing requests efficiently and cost effectively from federal agencies to printers equipped to do the work. Title 44 of the U.S. Code states that the GPO will be the centralized resource for gathering, cataloging, producing, providing, authenticating and preserving published information. That’s just about everything printed for the federal government. Further, as specified by Title 44, all federal agencies are required to use the GPO to procure their print.
