PREFACE 

Each year the annual report of the Public Printer is submitted to 

Congress at·the opening of the legislative session. This report 

presents a brief overview of the major activities of the Government 

Printing Office for fiscal year 1972. An appendix containing statistical information and data on the financial condition of the Government 

Printing Office is included. 

Income from both printing and binding and Superintendent of Documents 

sales were up, with dollar volume for fiscal year 1972 at $285 million 

compared with $246 million for fiscal year 1971. The full implementation of the Federal Printing Program saw commercially-procured printing 

value increase $18.5 million over fiscal year 1971. Thirteen regional 

printing procurement offices are now operational in ten regions. These 

offices and Central Office Printing Procurement were responsible for 

purchasing $141 million worth of printing and binding. 

Congressional printing and binding schedules were especially demanding 

as legislative programs of the 92nd Congress continued at an accelerated 

pace. Congressional Record volume, an accurate reflection of legislative workloads, increased by more than 3,000 pages in fiscal year 

1972. Federal Register volume was also up by more than 4,000 pages. 

Individual em-per-hour averages, an indicator of typesetting efficiency, 

climbed slightly over averages reported the previous year and the use 

of commercial sources for supplementing composition requirements during 

peak periods of demand grew substantially. 

The Public Documents Department operations continued at a high level 

with slight gains shown in both orders and sales. Five new bookstores 

were opened during the year as well as a Public Documents Distribution 

Center in Pueblo, Colorado. Bookstore sales rose nearly 10 percent 

ever fiscal year 1971 and 46 percent over fiscal year 1970. A gain 

of 30 new libraries during the year brings the total to 1,084 libraries 

in the Federal Depository Library System serviced by the Public Documents Department. 

Perhaps coloring all aspects of the diverse activities of the Government Printing Office was the death, January 11, 1972, of Public Printer 

A. N. Spence. Having served less than two years as head of this agency, 

Mr. Spence had made his professionalism and personality felt in every 

operation of the Government Printing Office. He brought a new management style to the Goverrw1ent Printing Office and while he fell before 

many of the programs he had instituted reached fruition, his redefinition of management and production objectives will serve the Government 

Printing Office well in the years ahead. 

IV 
STAFF ACTIVITIES 

General Counsel 

As the chief legal officer of the Government Printing Office, the 

General Counsel reports directly to the Public Printer and is responsible for performing all legal services in connection with the 

operations and activities of the Government Printing Office including: 

(l) advising and assisting the Public Printer on legal aspects of 

Office activities, (2) rendering legal opinions and interpretations, 

(3) representing the Public Printer with other governmental and nongovernmental organizations and individuals on legal matters involving 

the Office, (4) reviewing and approving all major contracts and 

agreements to which the Office is a party, (5) settling disputed 

contracts and claims, and (6) drafting and/or commenting on all 

proposed legislation affecting the Office. 

The volume of work in each category increased slightly during the 

fiscal year but was absorbed by the present staff. As of the close 

of the fiscal year, more than 40 pieces of legislation affecting the 

operations of the Office were pending in Congress and four suits 

against the Office were pending in the Courts. In one of the cases, 

the General Counsel is representing the Office before the Supreme 

Court of the United States. 

With the disestablishment of the Documents Department Library, one 

of the major future needs of the Office of the General Counsel is to 

acquire necessary facilities to house an adequate legal library. 

Egual EmploYment Opportunity Office 

The Equal Employment Opportunity Office is responsible for the processing of complaints by any employee or qualified applicant for employment, 

relating to discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or 

national origin. This office is also responsible for establishment and 

implementation of an affirmative and effective Equal Employment Opportunity Program, and for reporting to and advising the Public Printer on 

the preparation of plans, procedures, regulations, reports and other 

matters pertaining to the F~O Program. 

During fiscal year 1972, the EEO Office continued to review promotion 

actions in certain key organizational areas to assure that qualified 

minority candidates were receiving fair and equal consideration in 

filling positions of higher responsibility. 

Under new GPO Federal Merit Promotion Program procedures, an EEO 

representative is the third member on each promotion panel. Staff 

members have served in excess of 20 times on such panels during the year. 
- 2 -

The EEO Office also provided pre-complaint counseling service and 

processed complaints of discrimination as follows: 

FY 1272 FY 1271 FY 1270 

No. of emp~oyees counseled 681 163 136 

No. of formal complaints 

processed 2 3 1 

No. of informal resolutions 110 66 25 

For FY 1972 the above statistics include many employees satisfied 

through simple verbal advisement and others counseled and appropriately referred. The increase in activity is also attributable to 

24-hour staffing of the EEO Office and increased cooperation on the 

part of management and supervisory personnel. 

At the year end, the EEO Office was staffed by a Director of Equal 

Employment Opportunity, an Equal Employment Opportunity Officer, a 

Federal Women's Program Coord~nator, two Equal Employment Opportunity Specialists, 24 part-time Equal Employment Opportunity Counselors, 

a Secretary, and a Clerk-typist. Seven part-time counselors are assigned to Field Service Offices located in Chicago, Denver, New York, 

San Francisco, Seattle and the Departmental Service Office. 

EEO staff members throughout the year attended the Interagency Advisory 

Group meetings at the Civil Service Commission, the D.C. Metropolitan 

Area EEO Council monthly meetings; and the Community Advisors on Equal 

Employment Opportunity. In addition, staff members met with officials 

at Washington Technical Institute, Federal City and D.C. Teachers 

Colleges to discuss training facilities and opportunities for employment. 

An EEO committee of five, three elected by employees and two selected 

by management is operating at GP0 1 s Departmental Service Office. With 

management cooperation the committee has informally resolved the problems incident to DSO. 

A GPO Federal Women's Program Committee was appointed in March 1972. 

The Committee, eight regular and four alternate members has formulated 

a GPO Women's Program and planned for an annual Federal Women's Day 

observance in GPO. 

A pamphlet, entitled 11Minority Employment Progress at the Government 

Printing Officelf, was developed by the EEO staff and distributed to GPO 

employees and community organizations. Comparative data for the years 

1967-1971 formed the basis of its contents and reveal notable gains in 

hiring and promotion of minorities. 
- 3 -

Community Affairs 

Fiscal year 72 was one in which we experienced an increase in the 

number of persons touring the GPO operations. There was a total 

of 53 tours in FY (71) compared with a total of 88 tours in FY (72). 

The majority of these tours were planned for students that are receiving training in the Graphic Arts. Additionally, tours were 

planned for a number of business-executives from the printing industry. 

Included among our prominent visitors were representatives from 

Indonesia, France and Ethopia. 

Office of Audits 

The Office of Audits is responsible for conducting independent and 

comprehensive audits for GPO operations, functions, and/or organizational units both in Washington, D.C. and at the various GPO field 

locations; for performing such external audits, including contract 

audits, as are deemed necessary; and for reporting its findings and 

recommendations to the Public Printer. 

During the year, audit work was performed on management practices pertaining to field printing and procurement activities; contracting 

policies, practices and procedures; financial accounts and related 

transactions; and inventories of paper and publications. In addition, 

special reviews were made involving payments of specific claims, alleged 

L~proprieties, and verification of cash, coupons, bus tokens, and paper. 

The above audit work resulted in the issuance of 42 audit reports compared to 15 in FY 1971 and 8 in FY 1970. We assisted representatives 

of the General Accounting Office in their audit of GP0 1 s financial 

statements and related operations. 

The audit staff remains at nine, and one Junior Federal Fellowship 

appointee is working during summer and school semester breaks. 

Our five year plan is being revised and updated in order to effectively 

cover all functions and all organizational units within a five year 

cycle. 

Plans are being made to expand the office space for the audit function 

in order to provide adequate space for the staff and to locate GAO staff 

members closer to the Office of Audits. 

Special Assistant for Systems Analysis 

The Special Assistant to the Public Printer for Systems Analysis 

performs such analyses and duties as assigned by the Public Printer. 

During the early part of the yBar plans were laid and discussions were 

held with staff members of the Joint Committee on Printing relative to 

the proposal to distribute documents in microform. On April 25, 1972, 
- 4 -

the Joint Committee on Printing authorized and directed the Government Printing Office: 

(1) To take all necessary steps to effectuate the sale and 

distribution of hard copy Federal publications in 

accordance with existing regulationsJ and 

(2) To establish the capability of distributing and selling 

publications in microform, and to procure multiple copies 

of microform publications via competitively established 

commercial contracts. 

Pursuant to the direction and authority receivedJ a committeeJ chaired 

by the Special Assistant for Systems Analysis is preparing plans to 

carry out the policy enunciated by the Joint Committee on Printing. 

This policy will provide Depository Libraries a·needed service and a 

means of cost and space savings. Plans call for providing the libraries 

a form to elect those publication categories for which they desire 

microform. 

OPERATIONS DEPARTMENTS 

Printing Procurement Department 

The Printing Procurement Department is responsible for providing printing~ binding, and related products and services required to be produced 

in field printing offices or procured from commercial sources. Contracts 

are established and administered for printing procured commercially. 

These functions are accomplished, under the direction of the Printing 

Procurement Manager, by coordination of the activities of the Commercial 

Printing Specifications, Central Office Printing Procurement, Regional 

Printing Procurement, and Field Printing Divisions. 

The large increase in total value of printing procured commercially was 

primarily the result of full implementation of the Federal Printing Program. Thirteen regional offices are now operational in ten regions, including a new Region 3 office in Washington, D.C. The general usage 

programs became fully operational during fiscal year 1972. Additional 

staffing was accomplished as necessary to establish and administer contracts for printing. Government agencies in accordance with the Joint 

Committee on Printing Regulations are making full use of the facilities 

of the Regional Printing Procurement Offices. 

Central Office Printing Procurement increased both in number of jobs 

procured and the value of printing. Many of the procurements of this 

division are of very high value such as the commercial procurement of 

income tax forms, color work, and marginally punched and OCR forms. 

The in-plant production of the Field Printing Division remained approximately the same as continued emphasis was given to commercial procurement 

of printing.

.,, Procurement of commercial printing transferred to Regional Printing 

Procurement Division. 

-JH<- Excluding applicable surcharges and the value of paper furnished to 

commercial contractors. 

The Contractor's Equipment Questionnaire was revised to include new products, and provisions were made for future computerization of data 

relating to bidders. Mailing labels can now be obtained from the computer for contractors by areas, regions, or zip code designation. 

Purging of lists of contractors and addition of new firms resulted in 

a net increase of 399 contractors, or a total of 5,552 firms in FY 1972. 

Shrink film packaging and palletizing st~ndards were developed and included in specifications when requested by the ordering agency. 

Regional printing procurement offices assumed operations necessary to 

establish contracts for their general usage term contracts as they were 

renewed. 

Certification of contractor's vouchers for term contract work was assumed 

by four regional offices. Five other offices certified vouchers for all 

work placed by them. 
- 6 -

Establishment of general purpose multiple award contracts for procurement 

of books, pamphlets, and forms in regional procurement offices completed. 

Availability of the contracts and the facilities of the regional printing 

procurement offices to government agencies contributed to the large 

increase in the value of printing procured commercially. 

Annual seminars relating to the Marginally Punched Continuous Forms 

Contract were continued for both agency and industry representatives. 

Three separate three-day instructional courses in use of contract by 

agencies were held and subscribed. 

This year the IRS income tax program incorporated labeling and mailing 

of tax forms for 50% of the packages, resulting in a significant savings 

by eliminating transportation to and handling by distribution centers • 

. The income tax program required preparation of 230 specifications, an 

increase of 65 over the previous fiscal year. The dollar value of these 

jobs was $6,525,956, an increase of over 27% over the previous fiscal 

year. 

Savings to government agencies of over $450,00 were realized as a result 

of pre-planning or readvertisement of requirements with amended specifications and extended schedules. 

Specifications for procurement of microfiche and microfilm were developed. 

Increased requirements for photocomposition and magnetic tape input for 

Linotron use required preparation and refinement of specifications for 

these highly specialized products. 

Requirements for color work increased 29% in fiscal 1972, reflecting the 

trend to increased use of color in posters, recruiting material and 

government publications. 

Plans for the future call for establishing a Regional Printing Procurement 

office in Norfolk, Virginia. All regional offices will continue to assume 

as soon as possible complete preparation of specifications, solicitation 

of bids, awards of contracts and voucher verification for work procured 

by their office. 

Planning Department 

The Planning Manager directs and coordinates the activities of three 

Divisions, Planning Service, Plant Planning, and Typography and Design. 

Their functions are described below. Overall workload shows a slight 

increase over the two previous years. Two exceptions deserve note. 

About one-third of the print orders formerly received and recorded in 

Planning are no~ submitted directly to Regional Procurement Offices. A 

sharp increase in jackets handled in Typography and Design resulted from 

more color work and a large number of small jobs. 

A large turnover in personnel, caused primarily by retirements, placed 

a heavier responsibility on staff in all three divisions, both to maintain work schedules and to train new personnel. 
- 7 -

Planning Service Division 

The duties and responsiQilities of this Division are liaison between 

the Office and its customers in the Federal Govern.'1lent in connection 

with their printing and binding orders; the receiving, reviewing, 

recording, preliminary planning and processing of same; developing 

schedules for printing and binding services in cooperation with other 

Office personnel; maintaining informational and communication services 

related to work in progress; picking up and delivering copy, proofs, 

"hot" jobs, and portions of jobs, inter-office and for the agencies 

and the Congress; and related work.

"'~Includes print orders processed directly through Regional Procurement 

Offices. In 1972 these orders were no longer routed through Planning 

Service for recording purposes. 

The total number of requisitions received and jackets issued continues 

to show a slight increase even though more Governrrtent printing is being 

procured directly through the Regional Procurement Offices. 

There was a decrease in the number of open jackets issued, caused by 

the number of new programs accepted for Regional Procurement, and the 

number of Central Office comrr,ercial programs converted to the Regional 

Procurement Offices. Traditionally the number of Congressional orders 
- 8 -

placed in the second session of each Congress has declined as shown 

in this report. However, the timely demands placed upon this Office 

by the present Congress (92d Congress, Second Session) have been 

second to none. Among the most demanding and time-consuming jobs has 

been the production of the Nelson Commission Report. 

This year, our customers in the Congress and the Departments continued 

the trend of demanding and receiving short- and expedited-schedule 

production of their printing requirements. 

The large number of open jackets and program printing, and the increasing regional printing procurement work placed a large burden on the 

Special Services, Requisition, and Distribution Sections. Personnel 

of the Special Services Section handled increasingly large numbers of 11 hot, 11 short-schedule, and special jobs for our customers. 

Division personnel p~rticipated in approximately 250 meetings with 

Department officials and/or representatives from various divisions of 

the Office, for the evaluation, planning, scheduling, and development 

of new programs of work, special jobs, and changing requirements in 

programs or individual jobs. Meetings were also held between our customer Agencies and our suppliers for the resolution of problems arising 

from contractual or procedural changes or difficulties. 

Plant Planning Division 

The principal responsibilities of the Plant Planning Division are to 

plan, firm-estimate, prepare and schedule jackets for printing and 

binding requisitions and print orders accepted for Plant production; 

m3.ke such further firm ~nd informal estimates as requested by the 

Congress, Public Documents and Printing Procurement Departments of this 

Office and the other Governmental departments and agencies; develop 

sales prices on publications sold by the Public Documents Department; 

prep3.re and schedule jackets for purchase orders and requisitions for 

blank paper and miscellaneous supplies; and govern and control m~intenance of inventories of paper, envelopes, etc., in the Office and 

commercial contractor 1 s plants.

Through our contracts with Printing Officers in the Departments and 

agencies many problems of specification and production are resolved 

to the best interests of the Government. One by-product of this 

activity has been savings in production costs in excess of $200,000 

this year due to alertness of our employees. On one job alone an 

agency was saved over $64,000 through detection of obsolete copy submitted for printing. In many cases changes in specifications have 

resulted in more economical production methods. 

I7po~aphy and Design Division 

This Division provides a service to representatives of all Government 

Agencies on specifications, format, typography, and artwork to meet their 

requirements; and provides layouts, designs, and finished art as ordered. 

The Division exrunines finished art and camera copy primarily for printing 

in two or more colors of ink to determine its conformity with the requisition and the guidelines laid down by the Joint Committee on Printing 

in the Government Printing and Binding Regulations. O~her responsibilities 

include close collaboration with other Planning and Production Divisions, 

maintenance of quality control required by customer agencies, and providing a photographic service for the customer agencies and the Government 

Printing Office.

The total number of jackets processed this year through the Division 

increased by 47 percent, and the number of jobs received from the 

Scheduling Committee, Planning Service Division, for color consideration 

increased by 51 percent. This marked increase can be attributed primarily to an increase in use of color in Government printing and an 

increase in the number of small jobs processed. 

Our Technical Review Section has purchased a portable reflection densitometer. This is a precision quality control instrument, and being 

portable can be used in the Division, in the pressroom, or taken to a 

commercial contractor's plant for on-site inspection. This will enable 

our technicians to maintain a more precise control on color printing. 

As part of our regular work the Division was concerned with the printing 

of a number of important or unusual books or programs a few of which are 

listed below. 

Public P~pers the Presidents, Richard Nixon, 1970. This was the second 

volwne of this series and it contained 1,364 pages. 

1971 Yearbook Agriculture. The title of the book is HA Good Life for 

More People 11 and the format and all the necessary artwork were developed 

by this Division. The book contains numerous halftone illustrations, and 

there were 416 pages plus printed endleaves. This included a 16-page 

two-color signature of illustrations. 

Our Changing Fisheries, for Interior Department. The subject of this 544-

page casebound book is commercial fishing and there are 274 black and 

white and full color illustrations and numerous maps. 

To Have and to Hold (Alaska's Migratory Birds). This 16-page four-color 

process brochure was produced on an extreme crash schedule for the Fish 

and Wildlife Service of the Department of the Interior. Typography and 

Design established the format, selected the color transparencies, and 

prepared complete camera art including several. maps all in three days. 

Printing was completed in seven additional days. 

American Revolution Bicentennial Poster, for the ARBCommission. This 

Division established the concept for this four-co1or poster and prepared 

a1l the preliminary and finished artwork. The finished poster was 2Qil x 30 11 

with an initial run of 100,000. 

Postal Cards - Tourism Year of the Americas 1972, U. S. Postal Service -

This Division created the camera copy for five commemorative posta1 cards, 

and qua1ity controlled the printing of 55 rr~llion copies. A1l cards were 

overprinted by a phosphorous compound for postal scanning machines. A1l 

cards had four line drawings on the back depicting famous American 

scenes. The face of the cards had a reduced version of one of the scenes, 

serving as the postage stamp.

During the past fiscal year we received 17 letters of comrrtendation from 

12 different departments and agencies for services rendered by our staff. 

We also received special awards from the Society of Federal Artists and 

Designers, and the National Association of Industrial Arts. 

The responsibility for evaluating the need for the use of more than one 

color in printed matter has been placed with the Typography and Design 

Division by the Public Printer. The regulations established by the 

Joint Committ~e on Printing clearly define the categories in which color 

printing fulfills a specific functional need, and which Typography and 

Design uses to evaluate printi1~ requests. All requisitions containing 

requests for more than one color or one color other than black are therefore referred to this Division for consideration as to its functional 

need, or to prevent technical problems which might arise in production. 

During the past year there has been a percent increase in the number 

of jobs received for color referr:tl. We have handled several large jobs 

in which color was extremely critical--such as meat pathology, fish 

biology, and space exploration. Our quB.lity control program continues 

to be a complete success; there have been no agency rejections under this 

progrB.m in five years. 

The Technical Review Section alone has accomplished savings in excess of 

$350,000 through numerous chB.nges in design, ink and stock usage. 

This Division exercised quality control over severB.l hundred jobs during 

the year. This consisted of preliminary review of specifications and 

camera copy, and inspection of proofs, both within the Office and on 

45 trips to conrrnercial contractor 1 s plants. This effort has kept complaints at a minimum, while maintaining an improved quality of printing. 

The Interagency Training Program "Editorial Planning for Printing Productionu was conducted twice during the past fiscal year. A total of 

258 persons were enrolled in these two series of lectures, representing 

31 departments and agencies. 

Production Department 

The Production Department is responsible for all 11 in-plant 11 printing 

production. The administrative functions are the prime responsibility 

of the Production Manager and his staff. This Department has direct responsibility for the Binding, Composing, Letterpress, Offset, and 

Electronic Photocomposition Divisions, and is responsible for the Library 

of Congress Print:l.ng Branch, as well as small installations at the Smithsonian Institution and Interior Department. The Delivery Section, 

Congressional Record Indexers, and Congressional details are also responsibilities of this Department. 

As in the previous fiscal year, the,exceptional demands of the 92nd 

Congress' legislative program severely tested our capabilities. The fact 

that all demands were met is a tribute to the dedication and cooperation 

of our Department officials and those in the Planning Department. 
- 12 -

Total manpower was reduced from 4,182 to 4,116, a reduction of 66, in 

spite of the transfer during the year of 8 Congressional Record Indexers 

to our rolls from the Joint Committee on Printing. Total overtime hours 

worked rose from 1,061,030 in Fiscal Year 1971 to 1,148,677 this year. 

The increase was primarily due to the tight schedules of Congressionc.l 

work in the Binding and Composing Divisions. The effort which began two 

years ago to provide Congressional service in the Composing Division on 

a two-shift basis continues to improve our service to Congress. 

This report would be incomplete without paying tribute to supervisory 

personnel at all levels. Their dedication to our mission has enabled 

us to meet seemingly impossible deadlines in the face of many problems 

which have plagued this Department this year. Short-term production 

schedules, lack of adequate space, excessive absenteeism, and deteriorating work habits of some employees have combined to cause excessive 

overtime and realignment of work forces in order to provide a suitable 

standard of service. 

Composing Division 

The Composing Division's responsibility is to accept manuscript material 

from Congress and Federal agencies, furnish galley and/or page proofs to 

the customer by "hot metal" process, correct returned proofs, and provide type or reproduction proofs to other Divisions in the advancement 

of a publication to delivery. As a service, the Division furnishes printing specialists to Congress and the agencies, resolves printing problems 

of others, and provides guidance and technical advice upon request. 

The Division consists of six sections - Monotype, Job, Linotype, Hand, 

Proof, and Patents Sections. Each section operates on a two-shift basis 

and, where necessary, on a 24-hour basis to assure that the service expected of the Office is performed. In addition, there is a small 

Composing Unit physically located in the Supreme Court Building where 

the opinions and decisions of the Justices.are processed under maximum 

security. 

The continuing growth in volume of Congressional printing, especially 

the Congressional Record, the Federal Register and hearings provided 

challenges which our staff met through dedication and ingenuity. 

Coordination of two shifts through reassignment of key personnel and 

shifting work forces, plus use of overtime enabled us to provide 

required service and meet the demand for tight production schedules.

The rise in payroll cost is attributable to wage rate increases and 

necessary additional overtime, attributable to the growth in size of 

the Congressional Record and the legislative program. Com~osition of 

measurable type was kept within manageable levels by purchase of hot 

metal composition from commercial sources. 

Modernization in the Division again followed a cor1servative trend during 

the year. The Monotype Section obtained four surplus keyboards and has 

affected savings in sorts production by the purchase of two Super 

Casters. The Job Section has been rearranged as a straight-line production unit this year. move provided part of the space needed 

for a new Record Press and also provided a more efficient Job Section 

operation. 

The procedure for purchase of type from Commercial contractors initiated 

in 1970 has opened a whole new area to copy management of Congressional 

Hearings when office facilities are overtaxed. This program, closely 

monitored by the Production Manager's Office and Division supervisors, 

is very successful in meeting critical schedules for Congress.

The Congressional Record presents a never-ending challenge to the Night 

Composing Division -- their major responsibility. Compared with Fiscal 

Year 1971 the Record had 9 additional issues and 3,194 additional pages, 

a 6 percent increase. 

The Federal Register, a responsibility of day Linotype Section, 

another of the vital publications requiring careful supervision to maintain its schedules. Compared with the previous year, the Federal Register in Fiscal 1972 and 2 additional issues and 4,041 more pages, a 17 

percent increase in size. 
- 14 -

Servicing the three codes - United States Code, District of Columbia 

Code, and the Code of Federal Regulations is a continuing and substantial 

part of the production in the Division. The production figures on 

these codes constantly fluctuate. The only reduction this year, that 

for the U. S. Code is attributable to the complete reprinting in 

FY 1971. Figures in the table do not reflect 1,182 more pages included 

in FY 1972 for revision of Title VI and new compilation of Title VII. 

Although total Patents work continued to increase in FY 1972, hot metal 

production showed a sharp decrease for the second successive year. This 

decrease is attributable to the introduction of computer typesetting of 

P!3.tents. 

This Office continues to provide an invaluaole service to Congressional 

Committees by detailing skilled cr!lftsmen to their offices. In Fiscal 

1972, 74,316 hours were expended on Congressional assignments -- an 

increase of 28.5 percent over last year. This is equivalent to 34 

craftsmen each day who are out of the Office working for Congress. 

Letterpress Division 

The Letterpress Division is primarily concerned with the printing 

requirements of Congress that are performed by the letterpress method. 

To accomplish this task there are two press sections; Main Press and 

Postal Card and three plate sections; Photoengraving, Stereotype and 

Electrotype. 

The Division experienced a decline in work volume in nearly all categories except those related to the Congressional Record and Federal 

Register. This decline reflects the trend toward Offset production 

and commercial procurement. 

Considerable changes have been made in this Division in the past year 

concerning machinery and space. Six presses were removed from service 

as surplus. Total floor space was reduced by elimination of the Plastic 

Plate unit and moving the Blocking operation into the Photoengraving 

Section. The Photoengraving Section installed a new film processor 

which has improved the operation by eliminating the old hand developing 

and drying methods. 

We are particularly prou~ of the handling of the Tourism Postal Card 

program in our Postal Card Section. This program called for tagging 

and processing for shipment of various special versions totalling 55 

million cards with special packaging requirements. All was accomplished 

and shipped in time to meet the first day of sale. 

A significant achievement during the year was the planning and ordering 

of a fourth Record Press. When placed in operation during the coming 

year, this press will enable us to perform successive complete overhauls 

of our three present Record Presses. This acquisition plus additional 

plate casting equipment and planned modifications in web and plate 

handling will enable us to keep pace with the growing demands of the 

Congressional Record. 
- 15 -

The new roll fed camera, soon to be installed should increase the 

Photoengraving Section's ability to produce negatives from camera 

copy. 

The Postal Card Section will soon install a cartoning machine which 

will reduce effectively the labor required to handpack the thousands 

of small cartons being ordered by the individual Post Office.

The Offset Division processes reproducibles, including manuscript copy 

for phototypesetting and the product thereof, through lithographic photography, platemaking and presswork. Preparatory tasks are performed for 

work to be procured from commercial sources. Inspection and storage of 

lithographic reproducibles are also accomplished by the Division. 

The ta.sk of training an adequate force of skilled journeymen remains the 

most important and most difficult personnel task of the Division. The 

continued promotion of skilled employees to planning, procurement, accounting, and other functions makes necessary a high ratio of apprentices 

and trainees to journeymen. At year's end the combine~ ratio for all 

sections was 31 percent. 

We are converting bimetal platemaking to a polymer presensitized process. 

The polymer plate was tested and found very satisfactory for work with 

runs over 100,000 impressions. 
- 16 -

Final modifications to the Crabtree perfecter presses have been 

accomplished. Approximately 50 percent of the Official Gazette is 

now being produced on these presses. This has reduced makeready time 

considerably since a sheetwise form is madeready simultaneously. 

Of special interest was the short-schedule production of five two-color 

commemorative post cards, "Tourism Year of the Americas 172", totaling 

over 57.3 million cards. These unique cards depicted 20 historical 

scenes, divided equally on five cards. Four scenes were used on the 

reverse of each card and on the face the stamp was an illustration of 

one of the four scenes on the reverse.

The Binding Division includes the Pamphlet, Blank and Book Sections. 

The Pamphlet Section operates on a three-shift basis. In addition to 

most of the folding, gathering and inserting work this section binds 

and distributes the Congressional Record and Index, the Federal Register, 

U. S. Passports and most of the drilling, punching, wire and plastic 

binding, wrapping, bandi~ and distribution for the Office. The Book 

Section performs hand binding, specialty work, case binding, sewed 

paper cover books and stamping operations.

The Congressional Record and Federal Register increased in volume again. 

A recent trend was reversed during the year as a sizable increase in 

hand binding was handled by the Book Section. 

Of special interest was the Income Tax Program which resulted in over 

108 million copies of printed matter produced during the year. Various 

jobs produced under the Code of Federal Regulations Program resulted in 

excess of 693,000 produced and distributed. 

During the past Fiscal Year the Binding Division continued its extensive 

Modernization Program. The purchase of shrink packaging equipment, an 

adhesive binder, and in-line edition binding equipment were principal 

projects. We anticipate that the shrink packaging equipment wil1 be 

adaptable to a variety of packaging operations. The acquisition of an 

adhesive binding line and its installation in Book Section has made a 

complete realignment of all equipment in the Edition Unit, Book Section. 

This equipment provide the capability of producing both paper cover 

and hard cover adhesive bound books. 

Electronic Photocomposition Division 

The Electronic Photocomposition Division produces photocomposition on 

manually-operated photomechanical and tape-operated electronic phototypesetting machines. Computers are utilized to control automated 

phototypesetting systems. The Division develops information and pro--

vides services to the agencies to enable them to adapt suitable 

publications to this equipment. 

Linotrons produce complete page photocomposition at high speed 

using magnetic tape. The magnetic tape which drives the Linotron is 

written on the Government Printing Office computer which converts 

magnetic tape furnished by agencies to a configuration required by 

Linotron. 

Linofilm keyboards and photo units are used prim-:>-rily to set manuscript 

containing complex mathematical equations and technical information. 

Fotosetter machines produce paper or film positives which are converted 

to camera copy of forms, certificates, and other suitable publications. 

Auxiliary equipment such as paper tape perforators and tape converters 

contribute input to the photo units.

The comparisons above reflect a continued growth in agency usage of 

our Linotron photocomposition. The 73.5 percent increase in production 

for the year was accomplished with only a 61 percent increase in supporting operations. This increased efficiency was due to an increase 

in speed of page processing, the result of changes in typesetting programs and conversion to off-line phototypesetting paper processing. 

Reduction in other modes of photocomposition reflect the trend to 

Linotron usage, notably in production of Patents pages which increased 

133 percent. 

Several modifications to the Linotron system are underway which will 

improve our service and production capability. A new reversal film 

processor will provide backup and will support additional film output 

requirements of the Linotrons. 

Modification of the Linotrons to provide 9 and 11 point type size 

capability was installed in one Linotron system during the year, and 

nearly completed on the second system. 

Modernization and Joint Committee on Printing approval was given to 

convert the present character generator system on the Linotron to a 

digital character system. This system, once installed, will eliminate 

the high replacement cost of character grids and Linotron tubes. 

Night Production Manager 

The primary responsibility of the Night Production Office is to supervise the printing and delivery of the Congressional Record and to 

correlate this delivery with the production of Congressional bills, 

committee prints, documents, hearings, reports, and committee print 

tables while rendering assistance in advancing departmental work.

The Budget and Economic Report of The President 

Since the Executive Branch requires overnight service on these publications, the composition involved in their production primarily has been 

t.he obligation of the Night Shift. The Budget consisted of 31 separate 

items which totaled 10,221 folios, making 2,126 pages, relatively the 

same as in recent years.

Delivery Section 

Basic duties of this section are local deliveries, shipping of classified 

material, and providing required passenger car and bus service. Fleet 

mileage showed an increase of 19,575 miles for a total of 430, A 

factor in the increased mileage is an additional delivery stop in nearby 

Maryland. The number of deliveries going to Documents 1 new warehouse in 

Virginia is steadily increasing.

MAJJAGE~mNT AND ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENTS AND SERVICES 

Administrative Office 

The Administrative Office is primarily responsible for directing the 

Security, Office Services, Housekeeping, Space Management, Paperwork 

Management, Emergency Preparedness and Public Affairs Programs for the· 

Government Printing Office. In addition, the Administrative Office 

assists the Assistant Public Printer (Management and Administration) and 

his staff in formulating and administering a responsive Management 

Assistance Program. 

The Administrative Office, established December , 1970, commenced operation in June 1971. The Office has been organized into five functional 

components: Plant Security, Office Services, Industrial Cleaning, Space 

Management and Paperwork Management.

In September 1971, the Industrial Cleaning Section was transferred from 

the Engineering Service to the Administrative Office. Concurrently, the 

position of Executive Housekeeper was established with the mission of 

absorbing the total cleaning functions within the Government Printing 

Office. A supervisory reorganization was undertaken to provide not only 

upward 1nobility for the employees but also to pinpoint responsibility 

for assigned areas. 

Space Management 

The Space Management Program is responsible for space planning within 

the Government Printing Office and coordinating programs concerning 

acquisition, utilization, assignment, and inventory of all office space 

and special purpose space used by the Government Printing Office. 

Approval was given for a plan of action which affected over 44,000 

square feet of space. 

Paperwork Management 

The Paperwork Management Program was given impetus on June lCQl, 1971, 

when the Public Printer requested the National Archives and Records 

Service (NARS) to conduct an evaluation of paperwork practices within 

the Government Printing Office with the purpose of assisting the Administrative Officer in organizing a meaningful program. During the past 

year, a comprehensive review of all elements of paperwork management 

was undertaken by NARS and representatives of the Administrative Office. 

Presently the primary responsibility of the Paperwork Management Program 

is to manage the Government Printing Office Directives Sustem.

Two apprentice graduations were held during fiscal year 1972 with 57 

becoming journeymen September 14, 1971, and 41 on June 16, 1972. 

The GPO Executive Development Program was approved. Under the program 

guidelines, the Executive Manpower Resources Board has been selected. 

The Board is now in the process of making initial plans for implementation of the program. 

I~tthew A. Kelly, New York School of Industrial and Labor Relations, 

Cornell University, completed two 15-hour classes for managers on contract negotiating. Thirty-one officials who will represent the Office 

at contract bargaining sessions received certificates for completing 

the course. 

The Public Service Careers Program has been implemented. Four employees 

have been hired under the program for training as key punch operators. 
- 23 -

The GPO orientation class for new employees has been revised in both 

format and procedure. Classes are held every two weeks and are conducted solely by members of the training staff. The changes have 

brought a considerable improvement in the overall program. 

Two fulltime physicians have been added to the medical staff providing 

24-hour coverage within the Office. 

The Position Hanagement Division was relocated at Tempo A, Fort l·1cNair. 

The conversion of the Planner positions from wage board uprate positions 

to general grade positions was completed to facilitaGe management objectives in the Office. 

Samuel H. Jaffee, Esq., was appointed Umpire on July l, 1971. 

A total of 92 vacancy announcements were issued during FY 1972, as 

compared to 39 during the previous fiscal year, and the Government 

Printing Office participated in the Veterans Readjustment Program to 

the extent of hiring 173 Vietnam Era Veterans. 

For the 1972 summer progr:un, 199 summer aids were appointed. Twentyone positions were filled under the Feder3.l Junior Fellowship Program, 

eight summer interns were appointed for the first time, over 200 

colleges were contacted in our efforts to recruit well-qualified 

college professors to compJete special SlL~er projects, and nearly 

200 college students were appointed as clerks and clerk-typists. 

Personnel services are now provided to employees on a 24-hour basis 

with the addition of a third shift staff.

!inancial Management has cooperated with Personnel Service and Data Systems Service in design and creation of the GPO Employee Data Base. B,-v 

year 1 s end, this project was still not 11 debugged.n However, its 

establishm·omt and maintenance is expected to provide a valuable tool 

in the processing of payrolls an::l other reports at a considerable 

saving in computer and clerical time. 

A. formal budget program was established including b'.ldget formulation, 

review, and execution which will in effect charter the financial course 

of operations approved in advance by the Public Printer. Each Or(5anizatio'1al unit provided a financial and operating budget for 1973 covering 

·estimated workload, operating and nonoperating costs, procurement of 

materials and supplies for stock, and summaries of the estimated results 

of operations. Each organizational unit 1 s budget was reviewed by the 

budget comni t tee and approved by the PLl.blic Printer. R.:tdgetary procedures ware established providine; for monthly rep::lrting and for analysis 

of budget variances and subsequent followup ·with each organizational 

unit. 

At year end, parallel processing had begun on; an Interim Billing and 

Collecting System. The new system provides for the automation of 

collections and improves our present automated billings. 

A new system was developed to provide a means of reporting roll paper 

by actual weight to obtain mC>re accurate usage records. 

The Data Systems Servi~e is responsible for all data processing services 

for the Government Printing Office. This includes computer systems 

analysis and ::leGign; comp,~ter programing; and operating card p~mch and 

electric accounting machines, computers, and related peripheral and 

auxiliary equip~ent.

One of the most significant items undertaken was the proposed organization 

of the Data Systems Service. At the time the Public Printer announced 

the reorganization of the Office on December 15, 1971, the Data Systems 

Service was established from the Finance and Accounts Division. Under 

a Director, three divisions were authorized (Staff Services, Systems 

Design, and Computer Operations). Personnel and Data Systems will jointly 

develop an organizational plan, and n1anpower requirements will be submitted. 

During the fiscal year a cross-servlclng g,greement was made with the 

Defense Supply Agency Support Center at Cameron, Virginia. This enabled 

the Goverr~ent Printing Office to obtain optical page reader support 

from them without charge. We have been using this agreement in connection with work for the Superintendent of Doc~ments and Financial Management Service. 

In August, a support agreement was entered into with the Defense 

General Supply Center, Rich~ond, Virginia, whereby they converted magnetic tape to microfilm in connection with our services to the Superintendent of Docurr,ents. 

In October, another cross-servicing agreement was made with the Postal 

Service for optical character recognition services. It is estimated 

that between $32,000 9.nd $200,000 can be saved over OCR typing or keypunching Superintendent of Documents subscription renewal notices. 

We now have the capability of multi-processing on one of our System 360/ 

50 computers. This system is primarily used for Electronic Photocomposition applications. With the acquisition of two tape drives, a card 

reader and line printer, we have been able to process Electronic Photocomposition jobs and also concurrently run odd jobs as well as time 

consmning displays. 

The docun1ented version of the Master Typography Program (DMTP) was 

installed at the Defense Supply Agency and the Department of Co!llnlerce. 

Release of this progrrun was in keeping with the Joint Committee on 

Printingrs policy to provide the DMTP to Federal users to reduce their 

printing costs and gain more extensive use of their equipment. 
- 26-

A post DMTP processing program was procured from the Bureau of Standards. 

Under commercial contract issued by the Department of Commerce, the 

program was rewritten and placed in operation at the Government Printing 

Office. Speed was increased by a factor of ten. 

Computer processing of the Congressional Record, Federal Register, and 

Presidential Documents mailing lists was implemented. This file is also 

utilized as an expedient means of generating constituent listings for 

individual Members of Congress. 

Engineering Service 

The paramount function of Engineering Service is to maintain all buildings, 

machinery and equipment at a cost effective level which will provide the 

Government Printing Office with a safe environment for all employees 

coincident with efficient and effective public printing.

construction of a truck dock to replace rail s~rvice during the period 

\tWIATA will relocate the Government Pr'inting Office 1 s bridge to Building 

No. 4. 

Equipment and facilities were relocated for new record press. This 

constituted relocating ink pumping stations, a brick wall, and large 

ductwork. 

Engineering Service also constructed and installed furniture for bookstores in New York, Denver, Birmingham, and Detroit since the Government 

Printing Qffice has been able to do this work at lower costs than 

satellite bookstore area cabinetmakers. 

Tests·and Technical Control Service 

The Tests and Technical Control Service tests all materials entering into 

printing and binding processes, and is engaged in such standardization 
- 27 -

work and technical research as might be desirable to improve the quality 

of the products and materials used by the Office. It writes specifications for the procurement of materials which are best suited to the 

requirements of the processes, and aids in the solution of technical 

problems incident to plant operations.

Under Government Printing Office Instruction No. 670.7, this Service 

was assigned responsibility for conducting a continuing survey of the 

technical literature for the purpose of keeping fully informed of current 

developments in the technology of potentially toxic materials in the 

graphic arts industries. This Service is also required to develop and 

maintain capabilities for sampling and testing all potentially toxic 

materials that are determined to fall within the scope of this program. 

Complete revisions of all the Government Paper Specification Standards 

were prepared and submitted to the Joint Committee on Printing. Major 

feature~ were the inclusion of language to encourage the use of reclaimed 

fiber in printing papers; the addition of metric equivalents for thickness and basis weight, for information; and the deletion of instructions 

for calculating the weight of reams of the delivered size.

~;-Includes 10,611,000 pounds of newsprint. Newsprint poundage was not 

included in previous years' annual report figures. 

The value of our procurement activities during Fiscal Year 1972 amounted 

to $39,237,304. This represents an increase of $5,987,741 when contpared 

to the previous fiscal year, and was caused by increases in expenditures 

for services, transportation, communication, travel, and machinery and 

equipment. 

Inflation significantly increased costs for most items except paper and 

could be most readily identified in repetitive annual procurements. 

Additional increases in expenditures for "Materials and Supplies" 

included costs of: safety equipment; conversion from skids to pallets; 

expanded use of shipping containers; and the general increase in requirements for consumable generated by expansion of operations. 

Similarly, expansion and modernization expenditures raised the cost of 

"Services, Transportation, Communications, and Travel." Examples are: 

establishing and operating new Regional Printing Procurement Offices 

and Public Docwnents Bookstores; Architectural and Engineering services 

for air conditioning ~xpansion and renovation; fork truck leases; interagency agreements; expansion of the training program; expansion of 

electric power capacity; leasing of space for Public Documents distribution and storage; and phone and telegraphic communications charges. 

Paper prices showed a slight decrease in each of the first three quarters 

and a moderate increase in the fourth quarter, which resulted in a cumulative price increase of 1.62 percent for the entire year. 
- 29-

The high point in our paper inventory of 44,098,202 pounds occurred 

during the biweekly period of June 28, 1971, through.July 9, 1971, and 

the low po~nt of 30,086,646 pounds occurred during the biweekly period 

of May 30, 1972, through June 9, 1972. The following table shows the 

amount and location of paper inventories at the close of the past three

-kThis paper was physically removed from emergency reserve, but the 

transfer had not been accounted for by June 30, 1972. 

New truck dock facilities at the west end of Building No. 3 were comple :,ed early last fall. Although the principal reason for this installation was to permit the diversion of rail shipments during the period 

that ~1ATA will interrupt our rail spur to Building No. 4, this facility 

has greatly reduced congestion in Jackson Alley and contributes to an 

overall improvement in the material handling flow throughout the Stores 

Division. 

The General Procurement Division completed the changeover of its purchasing procedures, and they now comply fully with the Federal Procurement Regulations to the extent that they do not conflict with any law, 

order, Joint Committee on Printing Resolution, or other applicable 

directive. 

During the year, the Traffic Division saved in excess of $512,000.00 

by negotiating with common carriers for Section 22 rates. A further 

example of specific transportation savings is the negotiations conducted with rail and water carriers by our Traffic Division, which 

resulted in a savings of ,135.00 on the transportation of approximately 4,000,000 pounds of paper from Oakland, California, to the 

Government Printing Office. 

Public Documents Department 

The major responsibilities of the Public Documents Department are the 

sale of Government publications, the compilation of catalogs and indexes 

of Government publications, the distribution of Government publications 

to depository libraries, and mailing of publications for Members of

The number of sales orders continued to remain generally stable, showing 

only a slight increase over fiscal year 1971. Although final statistics 

are not yet available, a l. 9 percent increase in the dollar value of 

sales is forecast, attributable chiefly to small increases in selling 

prices and a trend toward larger numbers of publications per order. 

Surpas all other statistics is the growth in bookstore sales and 

customers served. Bookstore sales showed gains of 9.3 percent over 

fiscal and 46.3 percent over fiscal 1970. Customers served in 

exceeded 1971 14.4 percent and 1970 by 62.7 percent. 

At the suggestion of the Civil Service Commission and with the approval 

of the Public Printer, formal plans were inaugurated to reduce authorized 

\IJAE strength 10 percent per year for a period of at least five years. 

The acquisition of a single-level warehouse was approved by the Joint 

Committee on Printing in August 1971 and occupation of the leased 

facility be[San in February 1972. The 103,000-square-foot structure 
- 31 -

with modern warehousing equipment is designed to accommodate the 

palletized receipt, storage, and shipment of publications. Although 

not adequate for the entire inventory, this warehouse will help substantially in meeting sales and distribution responsibilities. In 

occupying the new warehouse, temporary warehousing was vacated fully 

prior to June 30, 1972. 

The Department's nwesternn distribution center was opened October 1971 

in , Colorado. The missions are to distribute announcement/ 

promotional material, and to service "Selected List 11 orders from 

customers generally west of the };Iississippi River. 

The microfiche publications availability file is being used to supplement existing files in the Inquiries Section. Nineteen readers have 

been installed and in the near future the file will be completed to 

include up-to-date information on new and revised publications. 

Fiscal Year 1972 set a new record for opening bookstores. Two stores 

planned during fiscal year 1971 did not open until after the beginning 

of fiscal year 1972. They were New York City and Denver,Colorado. 

Canton, Ohio; Birmingham, Alabama; and Detroit, Michigan, were also 

opened, thus making a total of five bookstores. In addition to these 

five stores, a sales outlet to serve walk-in customers was established 

in the Pueblo Distribution Center. GPO bookstores in Boston, Massachusetts; Kansas City, Mis2ouri; and Los Angeles, California, were 

enlarged, and the Commerce Department Bookstore was completely relocated. 

As of June 30, 1972, a total of 17 bookstores and one sales outlet were 

serving the public. 

The biweekly issuance of 11 Selected United States Goverrunent Publicationsn was reformatted from a circular-insert-type list to a 16-page 

self-mailer periodical. This new booklet style is more attractive, 

and the single-page order blank facilitates order handling. Almost 

twice as many publications are listed in the new format, making the 

listing of new and popular publications more current. 

In January 1972, the Public Docwnents Department began transferring 

its Library's collection of approximately 1,800,000 publications and 

76,000 maps to the National Archives and Records Service. As of 

June 30, 1972, the transfer was approximately 60 percent complete 

and on schedule. We anticipate the transfer will be completed before 

the end of the calendar year.
