PREFACE 

The Annual Report of the Public Printer is prepared and subll\ittecl 

to Congress each year. It contains information on all major 

activities of the Government Printing Office. 

In fiscal 1968, the demand for printing and binding remained near 

the record level or 1967, declining only about two percent below 

the $200 million volume for that year. Although total volume was 

somewhat down, procurement of printing and binding from co•ereial 

sources rose slightly. This is a fact of some importapce since 

it tends to confirm the policy of procuring from the private 

econoM¥ all printing which lends itself to this type or purchase. 

Such a policy also enables the Public Printer to better maintaia 

production stability for the Government Printing Office's starr 

and equipment, consistent with its mission. 

Ot great significance has been the success or the pioneering ultrahigh-speed Linotron system installed in the Office during the paet 

fiscal year. Its performance as part of the overall composition 

capability of the Office has met or exceeded expectations. SteaQt 

progress was made in bringing this revolutionary typesetting s.yetea 

toward full productive use. It can truly be said that in 1968 the 

Government Printing Office entered the electronic printing age. 

Public demand tor government documents was strong throughout the 

year and is expected to continue as more and more citizens become 

aware or the invaluable informational resource represented by the 

Public DocUMents Division. The acquisition of a high-speed electronic label printer has vastly improved the Superintendent of 

Documents ability to service the more than 11 200 separate mailing 

lists which he maintains. 

The Government Printing Office expects to experience no diminution 

in the Government•s printing and binding requirements in the coming 

year. Planning is continuous, especially with respect to reviewing 

the value or the newer technologies as they are introduced to the 

industry, in order to assure the timely, economical, and uninterrupted flow or printing to the Federal community.

PRODUCTION DIVISIONS 

The 1968 Central Office dollar volume dropped approximately 3 percent 

below the previous year, from $79~237,000 to $76,856,000. Coinciding 

with this volume was a reduction of almost 19 percent in the number of 

overtime hours worked in the produ~tion divisions, totaling 233,129 

fewett overtime hours worked during 1968 .• 

October 2, 1968, the Linotron System was placed in operat:lon in the 

Government Printing Office. Th:i.s historic event represents the most 

important development in compos! t ~-<'m since the introduct.ion of the 

Linotype machine at the turn rtf the cnntm"'v, 

The dean of the U,. S't Senate, the Honorable Carl Hayden, pressed the 

key starting the Linotron 1010 nn its first job, the Federal Supply Catalog (Master Cross Reference his;; ) • This catalog consisted of 

more than 13 million items and made 32j700 pages of 404 items per 

page; or 81 volumes of 416 pageg per volume~ This job was produced 

in 29 working days at an estimated r;avJngs in printing and binding 

cost of $351,000. This savings will be repeated every year on this 

particular catalog. 

£~~~!l~~.t!!:.! 

Printing the Congressional Record, our most important assignment, 

continues to be our most difficult one. ~bile the average number 

of pages per issue decreased from 208 to 198 pages, the total number 

of pages increased in 1968 from 38,116 to 43,180. This was due to 

the extendedsession of Congress, necessitating the printing of 35 

more daily issues than the previous year. Thus the night production 

divisions continued to face tremendous production challenges night 

after night, in order to satisfy the needs of the Congress. 

The Offset process was used on at least seventnn occasions to produce 

a portion of the Record.. Utilizing the 64-pag• ~ffset web either the 

first or the second 32-page signature was printed (two up). On at 

least one occasion the use of Offset was mandatory due to· 'the type of 

copy received. The submission of a large amount of copy taken from 

two previously-printed Reports, containing broad Monotype tables, 

made the use of offset the only possible way to meet the delivery deadline. 

In accordance with its authority and responsibility, the Joint Com· 

mittee on Printing replaced the title "Appendix" in the Congressional Record with the new heading, "Extensions of Remarks", beginning with 

the first issue of the second session of the Ninetieth Congress 

on January 15, 1968. An index was printed for the first time and, 

from all indications thus far. it appears to be making a significant contribution in speeding up the production of the Record,. It is 
- 3 -

encouraging Members of Congress to submit their remarks for the 

Extensions, rather than for the Proceedings. 

Consideration is being given to the purchase of an additional 64-page 

offset Record-size web press. While this press may not be delivered 

until after 1969, it will provide back-up sup~ort for the three 

letterpress webs and one offset web to insure the timely delivery of 

the daily Record. Since the three letterpress Cottrell Record presses 

are now 18 years old and have received considerable usage, it is 

essential that back-up support be provided in the event of breakdown 

on any one of these presses. With an overflow of work on the one 

offset Record web, it is assured that the second press will be kept 

busy an estimated three shifts per day, with or without Congressional Record production~-···· 

Bill work followed the normal second session pattern. Comparisons 

for the fiscal year and two preceding fiscal years follow:

The Budget 

The Budget, again in this fiscal year, as in the last fiscal year, 

consisted of 25 separate items as follows: 

Budget, Budget Appendix, D.C. Budget, Budget in Brief, 

Combined Book (Budget, Special Analysis G-M, and the 

Appendix), Special Analysis (plus 13 separates, A-M), 

6 Messages of the President (3 for Budget and 3 for 

D. c. Budget).

Production and delivery schedules on all activities were met as 

requested. 

Presidential Documents 

The Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents is a comparatively 

new publication that is a joint day-night effort in Composing.· Type 

is set on both shifts through the week and galley proof furnished. 

On Fridays, Shift 1 starts the make-up and carries it as far as 

possible. Deadline for copy is 6:00p.m., Friday, when Shift 2 picks 

up and completes composition, makeup, lockup, plating, press, and 

bindery work. Local copies are in the mail by 5:00a.m~, Saturday. 

There were in fiscal year 1967 52 issues totaling 1,932 pages for 

the year and averaging 37 pages per issue. For fiscal year 1969, 

there were again 52 issues, totaling 1,952 pages for the year. 

Electronic Printing 

The Electronic Photocomposition Unit produces photocomposition 

using manual, paper-tape driven, and magnetic-tape driven photocomposing machines. Computers are utilized to provide input to both 

paper-tape and magnetic-tape driven devices. Information is developed 

to enable government agencies to adapt suitable publications to this 

method. 

The Linotron is used to produce page photocomposition, at high speed, 

under control of a magnetic tape generated by a computer. The exposed 

film pages are processed in an automatic film processor which chemically reverses the image into a film negative ready for offset platemaking. Linofilm keyboards are used primarily to set manuscript that 

contains complicated mathematical equations. Justowriter keyboards 

are used to perforate paper tape for input to the computer to create 

a justified paper tape for Linofilm photographic units. Input and 

output converters convert paper tape to magnetic tape and magnetic 

tape to paper tape to drive appropriate piece of equipment. Linofilm 

photographic units produce paper or film positives from paper tape 

which has been produced on the Linofilm keyboards or the output 

converter from magnetic tape generated on the computer. Fotosetter 

machines produce paper or film positives by a manual photo-chemical 

method. Proofreading, revising, or inspection of film negatives and 

paper positives is performed on all photocomposition produced. 

The following table compares the actual work accomplished in fiscal 

year 1969 with like activities for the preceding two fiscal years:

The first of two Linotron systems was placed in production on October 21 19671 alter performing satisfactory preliminary acceptance tests. 

Final acceptance tests were completed in November after successful 

capa..ei;.ion of the Mast.r Cross Reference List. 

A Kodak Versamat Reversal film proeassor was installed in September 1967. 

This film processor was the first production model of a modified 

standard 11-inch Versamat to chemically reverse the film image troa 

a positive to a negative. Early problems were encountered in the 

experimental chemistr.y which slowed production. But Eastman Kodak 

engineers and technicians of the Offset Division overcame the problems. However,' the re·~ersal process is more complex than ordinar.y processing ~d special eare and control are required to produce satisfactor,y negatives. 

A significant accc:naplishaent during the year was the progress made in 

solving many of the probleMS in the master typography computer program. Parameters for )2 different page for~ts were 'ompleted and used for 

production of live work. In addition, approximately 80 formats are 

very close to successful operation. 
- 6 -

The second Linotron System is scheduled for delivery in August 1968. 

Present plans are to be in production with both Linotrons on the 

38,000~page Master Cross Reference List. 

Binding Division 

The workload in the Bindery continued at a heavy pace while lack of 

space contributed to extra materials handling. Folding work again 

showed an increase, further substantiating the need for additional 

folding on press. 

During fiscal 1968, the bindery paste-making operation on the second 

floor of Building 1 was transferred to the Tests·and Technical Section, 5th floor, Building 2. This move was made possible by eliminating composition roller manufacture in the Tests and Technical Section.

The necessity for full cooperation between the day and night shifts 

has become more apparent this past fiscal year. The exceptionally 

heavy Congressional copy input has resulted in diverting day operations to meet the night deadlines. This has caused the day shift 

to look to the night shift for assistance in meeting the Departmental 

deadlines. Flexibility and versatility of each shift has become 

more pronounced. 

Measurable Type - This year showed a decrease in measurable type. 

Ems decreased to 3jl49,048,400, a drop of 222,874,300 ems. Typesetting hours dropped 11,680 hours. The per-hour-em-average 

decreased to 4,575. The decline in ems-per-hour is something we 

have anticipated. Personnel turnover has been excessive. The constant loss and replacem~nt of compositors presents a genuine problem. 

The best operators are continuously moving to more important posi- tions, while replacements must be made with apprentices and journeymen new to the Office. A comparison of the past three-year period 

is as follows~

The Composing Division had on its rolls as of June 30, 1968, 1,639 

employees--an increase of nine over the previous year. The following 

table shows the number of personnel for the past three years: 

1968............ 1,639 

1967............ 1,630

Highest on the agenda of outstanding accomplishments has been the 

consolidation of the Composing Division's security work. This 

work, formerly handled in three units of the Division requiring 

voluminous receipt writing and extra materials handling, has been 

consolidated into a one-area operation. 
- 9 -

The addition of eight slugcasting machines is allowing the security 

work, formerly set in Monotype, to be set on the slugcasting machines 

at less cost. The incidence of receipt-writing, and attendant 

messenger cost attached thereto, has been reduced to a negligible 

factor and has improved security handling costs and services 

immeasurably. 

A side factor, and pernaps just as important from a cost standpoint, 

has been the expansion of the Congressional typesetting facilities 

by this move. 

LETTERPRESS DIVISION 

With the exception of Congressional Record, Federal Register, and 

postal card production, letterpress volume continued to show a downward trend. 

Total forms made-ready dropped from 137,628 to 126,416 in fiscal year 

1968. Total impressions declined from 507,277,316 to 470,170,292. 

Postal card production increased 4.1.4 percent.

The volume and number of items produced show a definite increase due 

to Postal Rate changes of January 1968 and additional Post Offices 

being serviced for the first time by the Postal Card Section. The 

number of Post Offices now being supplied is approximately 33,000. 

The Postal Card Section is now producing nine different kinds of 

cards in nine different carton sizes. 

During the past six years, personnel have been reduced by attrition 

to effect a proper balance between workload and equipment. For this 

reason, the following chart will show a slight decline:

The purchase of two 28 11 x 40 11 high-speed flat bed:presses has been 

approved and they will be installed in November 1968. · We expect that 

this type of press may eventually replace the balance of the "Rush Row" 

congressional presses.

While the Offset Division showed a general decrease in the total workload of approximately 4 percent, which was comparable with the overall 

in-plant decrease, there was a 22.3 percent increase in the number of 

Congressional pages processed. Also, it is significant to recognize 

the impact of web equipment. The three web presses accounted for 26 

percent of all press impressions 9 whereas they represent only 7 percent 

of the press equipment.

The employee complement for the division increased by 17, or 3 percent 

during the year. Increase in section complements~ccurred only in the 
- 12 -

Copy Preparation Section. Responsibility reports indicate a 47 percent 

decrease in overtime for the section which is due largely to the more 

balanced employee complement. A needed technical assistant was added 

to the staff of the superintendent. 

Modernization of eq~ipment has been more highly concentrated in the 

Offset Division than any of the other production divisions. Continual 

changes in methods, equipment and technology, especially in the web 

field, have enabled this process to make giant strides in the printing 

industry. Pre-press conversion methods for offset printing are receiving 

extensive study by responsible officials. 

All security imposition and platemaking has been combined in a single 

location in the Plate Section. This consolidation and small additional 

floor space has permitted placement of three additional imposition 

tables, two small lineup tables, one 80-inch step and repeat machine. 

An improved in-line function for platemaking also resulted. 

Platemaking Division 

The duties and function of the Platemaking Division are to produce and 

service letterpress printing plates used by the Government Printing 

Office and Government agencies. These include both flat and curved 

electrotypes, stereotypes, photoengravings, plastic, rubber and wraparound plates. The Division also maintains the Plate Vault Unit which 

includes the Central Reporting Unit for maintaining records of stored 

reproducibles. The basis of the charges for work performed in the 

Division is the square inch charge, plus charges for time work performed. 

The breakdown of the total square-inch production for each Section 

follows:

The Plate Vault regular operations remained normal, with the exception 

of the addition of approximately 12,000 entries recorded into the new 

IBM computer system since its installation in November 1967~ and a 

large backlog awaiting entry. The major activities of this Unit for

Library of Congress Branch 

Letterpress production of catalog cards for the fiscal year increased 

from 64,249,176 to 65,749 1 479, Titles set increased from 264,050 to 

290,999, and over-printing of combination call numbers and subject headings increased from 21 656,520 to 3,113,793 during the year. 

Total press impressions for all classes of work increased from 19,176,827 

to 22,715,148, and total copies printed increased from 97,794,488 to 

105,411,306. 

Since the main function of the Branch is the production of catalog 

cards and proofsheets, it is of particular interest to note that each 

year there has been a significant increase in production of these 

classes of work over the preceding year, as follows:

Deliver.y Section 

The count of individual shipments for the year amounted to 148 1 015 items. 

Any entry on our recording ledger is regarded as an item and may range 

from a single package to six or more skids of work. The current figure 

r~presents an increase of 2,579 above fiscal year 1967. Fleet mileage 

shows a decrease of 5,450 miles. A change in route deliveries and 

scheduling accounts for the reduction in mileage. Our re~vests for 

pickup service show a continued increase amoupting to 5i450. This is 

250 more'than'last year. Our ac:Hdent frequency figure is 7.69, as 

compared with_l3.07 for last year. The current figure places us in 

the top five of fifty-two fleets competing in our class. The following 

table gives a three-year,comparison on these subjects:

Employee coaglement has remained at 75 over the past three years. Of 

the present group, 56 are assigned to Shift 1 and 19 to Shift 3. 

Replacement units for the vehicle fleet have been received and placed 

in service, consisting of three heavy-duty vans and six light-duty panel 

trucks. On order at present are three heavy~~uty vans, two thr.eequarter ton metro trucks, and one half-ton panel. 

PLANNING DIVISIONS 

Planning Service Division 

The Planning Service Division received in the past fiscal year 135 1 325 

printing and binding requisitions and print orders--its principal 

measurable activity--an increase of about 1.1 and s.o percent respectively, over the 133,911 and 128,624 requisitons and print orders 

received in fiscal 1967 and 1966. This total workload shows a 3.4 

percent increase in requisitions received and a 1.4 percent decrease 

in print orders processed. This slight decrease in print order acti-

~ty was more than offset by the sharp (10.2 percent) rise in the number 

. "open" jackets issued during the year. 

Commercial procurement of program and contract work continues apace of 

former years. The 51,365 "regular" jackets issued during the year, a 

decrease of 7.3 and 1.5 percent from fiscal 1967 and 1966 respectively 

were accompanied by 6,889 "open" jackets issued, an increase of 10.2 

and 20.1 percent over the aforementioned two preceding years.

The automated reproducible inventory control station has been operational for approximately nine months. Improvements are being advanced 

on the station and the computer to cut the "down-time" caused by the 

increasing input to the system. A new form for reporting storage extensions was designed and will be placed in use before the end of the 

calendar year. 

Divis!~n of Plant Planning 

The Division of Plant Planning prepared 33,825 regular and print order 

iackets, a decrease of 6.6 percent from the 36,215 jackets prepared in 

:seal year 1967 and 3.3 percent less than the ~~.99~ processed in 

fiscal 1966. However, such decreases or like increases are considered 

to be normal from year to year, since the principal basis for acceptance 

of jackets (requisitions and print orders) for in-house production is 

the volume of work represented with respect to the production capabilities 

of the Office, rather than the number of jackets. 

Division of Typography and Design 

The total number of jackets processed through the Division increased 

by 7 1/2 percent, and the number of jobs received from Scheduling for 

color approval increased by 5 percent. The growing use of color by 

the departments is primarily responsible for this trend. The number of 

orders for photoengravings declined by 7 percent, and the number of cuts 

ordered dropped 18 1/2 percent. This is directly attributable to the 

increasing use of the offset process for jobs containing illustrations. 

There was a 7 percent increase over fiscal year 1967 in the number of 

pieces of finished artwork. The number of layouts and sketches was up 

only slightly, but the number of dummy pages pasted showed a 7~ percent 

increase. This can be traced to the fact that during the past year we 

handled several very complicated jobs which required a comprehensive 

dummy as a makeup and stripping guide. The number of fi~ished pieces 

produced by the. Photographic Section again remained' falr~y constant with 

'lY a 2 percent increase.

As part of its regular work, this Division was concerned with the printing of a number of important or unusual books or programs, a few of 

which should have special mention. 

Public Papers of the Presidents{ Lyndon B. Johnson, 1966, This was the 

tblrd set of this series. As w tfi the previous years, 'the amount of copy 

was so great that it was necessary to divide the material into two bo~ks. 

Tho .t::'~"s+ ho0k contained 856 pages, and the second 956 pages. They were 

pr·l.1•1.cu u .. ;;v'o :r·ag antique paper and bound in green cloth with stamping

1967 Yearbook of Agriculture. The title of the book is "Outdoors, USA". 

The Division of Typography and Design was responsible for the format of 

the entire book and all the necessary artwork. The book is profusely 

illustrated and, for this reason, was printed by web offset on 100-lb. 

offset paper. There were 448 pages plus printed endleaves. In addition 

there was a 32-page signature of 4-color process illustrations. The 

cloth for the oasebinding was printed by offset in yellow, red, blue, and 

black, and then varnished. 

Poisonous and Venomous Marine Animals of the World, Volume II, Part I. 

Air force - Delivery on this second of three volumes in this monumental 

scientific work was completed this year. The book consisted of 1 1 070 

pages and contained 438 four-eolor process illustrations, 16 two.-color 

maps, and 303 black halftones and linecuts. The illustrations were 

reproduced from transparencies, full-color paintings, pen and ink drawings, 

airbrush paintings, and black and white photographs. Composition and 

binding were done in the Government Printing Office. The presswork was 

procured commercially.

PERSONNEL DIVISION 

The responsibilities of the Personnel Division are to advise the Public 

Printer and his staff as to the personnel policies and personnel program 

which will most effectively enable the Office to carry out its miaaion, 

and to administer the personnel program in accordance with pe~tinent laws, Civil Service rules and rep;ulations and directives of the Public Printer,

The significant achievements of the Personnel Division during the past 

fiscal year fall into several areas. 

Perhaps the most important are the advances made in our classification 

and wage administration programs. In order to provide an easy transition to the new coordinated wage system that is to be implemented in 

the Washington, D.C., area in the Fall of 1968, the wage schedule for 

nonjourneyman blue collar workers has been ~evised to provide three 

pay steps for each grade. Although the Offiee is not required to 

follow the new program, the Chairman of the United States Civil Service 

Commission has urged the Public Printer to do so and it is the Public 

Printer's intention at this time to comply with the request insofar as 

nonjourneyman blue collar workers and Field Service employees are 

concerned. 
-19-

In order to improve the morale of our printing plant workers and to 

enhance position control and facilitate personnel administration, the 

Office has adopted the practice of using distinctive and descriptive 

titles for the printing plant worker group. The Office is making a 

major effort to improve the employee and supervisory understanding of 

our classification and wage administration program. As a part of this 

program, we have revised Personnel Bulletin No. 181, Classification 

Appeal Procedure, to include a simplified step-by-step account of what 

an employee has to do to formally appeal. 

There was a sizable increase in total classification actions accomplished b,y the staff. Per-employee classification output increased by 16 percent. 

The Employee-Management Relations Program which was instituted in 1963 

continues to grow and develop. During the year, Labor-Management Agree- ments were entered into with five units~ American Federation of Government Employees Local 2487, Journeymen Bookbinders Union No. 4; Washington Printing Pressmen's Union No. 1; American Federation of Government 

Employees Lodge 2618; and Lithographers and Photoengravers International 

Union Local 13~L. 

Negotiations are still in process with Local 42 of the International 

Brotherhood of Bookbinders; Columbia Typographical Union No. 101; Washington Federal Printing Workers' Union No., 713; American Federation 

of Government Employees Lodge 2738~ and American Federation of Government Employees Lodge 1248. 

In order to provide better service to operating officials» the Personnel Division has simplified our indebtednr9ss and corrective action programs. The time saved by these actions is being used to work with supervisors at all levels in handling their day to day personnel problems. 

Continued emphasis has been placed on our training programs. The 

Supervisory Development Course has n;;:rw been extended to the Field Service. In addition, our Training Program for A~vancement to Linotype Machinist has been revised and provides better t,raining and better supervision for the trainees. 

A significant achievement has been the t.rai:ning program for PrinterProofreader. The Office for years has been unable to obtain sufficient 

proofreaders from the competitive Civil Service examination to 
-20-

accomplish the work of the Office. This has required details of Linotype Operators and other printing craftsmen to do the work for unreasonable 

periods. B.Y working with the Civil Service Commission, the Office secured 

a training agreement which permits it to train its own proofreaders from 

among qualified printing craftsmen. 

As part of a government-wide program to provide better service to the 

public, Room Cl06 has been arranged with direct access to Room Cl04, so 

that it now contains a reception area for the Employment Section. We 

believe that this creates a much better impression of the public service 

on those who come to the Office to inquire about employment opportunities. 

FINANCE AND ACCOUNTS DIVISION 

The Finance and Accounts Division is responsible for overall financial 

management and supporting or related services. This includes accounting, budgeting, voucher examining, data processing, pricing and ratemaking, 

payroll and leave administration, traffic management, billings, collections, composition measuring, computing, estimating Congressional printing and binding appropriation requirements, and legal services.

The volWile of printing and binding wort decreased from $1991 299,698 ill fiscal 

year 1967 to $194,81.3,867 in fiscal yel>r 1968. 

The President's Annual Cleanout Campaitn conducted in the Government Printing Office resulted in the disposition of ~;pproximatel;y 11 000 cubic teet of 

nonessential records, various microfilli records, and the retum to stores 

of 250 items. Due to the urgent need i~or space, our records and files area 

requirements were reduced. All recordf. stored in our second noor file roo• 

were destro,yed, transferred to the Fed~ral Records Center, or aoved to other 

areas. 

The Office forms program was reviewed and updated. Our systea now provides better control of Office forms through the use of a tab card file that can 

be used to list foms by nWilber, origirator, and property nuaber. 

One hundred twent;y-seven computer progxams were written to meet the requireaents of new work or to convert from IBM 146C language to the IBM 360 language. One hundred eighteen computer programs were modified to meet changing requireaeats. 

The Treasur,y Department, General Accourting Office, and Burea• of the Budge\ have issued in.structions to report expt !lditures and revenues on the accrual 

basis. This requirement will have a Mljor affect on our accounting·5.1ste• which aust be changed during fiscal yefr 1969 to reflect these new concepts. 

Plans have been made to acquire an addD~ional IBM 360/50 computer B.1Stea. 

This equipllleAt will be used for our eJq: mding electronic photocomposi.Bg applications and new business-t;ype appllcations, such as the mailing lists 

for the Superintendent of Documents. I eliver,y of the equipment is expected 

near the close of fiscal ;year 1969. Ir addition, the data cell acquired for 

the storage of reprqd.ucibles teleprocef.sing application is not workiag as 

well as expected. Therefore, arrange~~ts have been made to replace the 

data cell with a disk storage device. ro make room for the additional 

equipment and to improve working condi'Ll.ons for our anal;ysts and prograaers, plans have been approved to relocate tl 3 Analysis and Programiag Seetioa to

Paper prices shoved a sharp decrease in the first quarter and a aoderate decrease ill the second and third quarters or fiscal year 1966. They increased 

substantially in the last quarter, resulting in a cumulative price decrease 

of 10.89 percent tor the entire fiscal year. 

Printing Procurement gained much·needed additional space which allowed thea 

to rearrange their work area to produce a more orderlf and efficient workflow. 

The Specifications Section was allocated 1,000 square teet or additional space to provide tor a personnel increase. 

A nev autoaatic baling s.ystem was placed in operation early in June. This 

.,ystea vill reduce manpower requirements, increase safety, and t.prove working eozt.elitions tor baling waste paper. In addition, internal traffic problems vtll be iaproved because the waste paper will be handled throufh air ducts, thus elWnating bulk hauling in cumbersome trucks. 
-23-

The establishment of Printing Procuremf1nt offices in Boston, Mass., and 

Philadelphia, Pa. 1 during this fiscal year enabled us to make significant 

progress in our efforts to enhance customer service and reduce GoTerament 

printing costs. 

A total of 761 073 printing jobs were procured during the fiscal year. These 

consisted of 141 233 jobs procured by ~dividual bidding, including 11 253 

obtained by Field Service, and 61,840 jobs procured on term coatracts. 

The Stores Section handled 110,804 tons of paper. This was made up of 21 822 

freight cars and 21 311 truckloads. Sales through salvage operations consisted 

of 221 9561 016 pounds of waste paper, 500,740 pounds of scr~ iron, 673,817 

pounds of scrap type metal and dross 1 :md 121 250 pounds of scrap photographic 

film. Outgoing local telephone calls E:mounted to 395,795 message units. 

No record was kept of long distance me~sage units as practicallY all long distance calls were placed over the Fec1eral Telecomunications Systea. 

ENGINEERThG DIVISION 

The primar.y function of the Engineering Division is to maintain all buildings, 

machinery 1 and equipment of the Govei'l'lJilent Printing Office in the best possible 

condition in order that public printin€ can be produced most efficiently. 

The Engineering Division is a maintenar .. :e and service organization. .A. 

measurement of our activities includes the volume of maintenance service 

rendered, utilities furnished, and matE,rials purchased. Our activities in 

Safety and the Incentive Awards Progran are included in the following

Maintenance service calls and job ordezs show a decrease for this fiscal year 

with an increase in yearly job orders. The reason for the latter is that 

many repetitive service calls and job crders were transferred to yearly job 

orders which considerably reduces pape1 work and associated costs.

TESTS AND TECHNICAL CONTROL DIVISION 

The rests and Technical Control Division tests all materials entering into 

printing and binding processes, and is engaged in such standardization work 

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

products and 1naterials used by the Office. It writes specifications for the 

procurement of materials which are best suited to the requirement• et the

A new compact, refrigerated circulating water ba~h, for testing jell strength of glue, was purchased as a replacement for the old copper-lined wooden icebox type equipment. This new equipment is very efficient, portable, and 

occupies appr()ximately 1~ cubic feetJ w"~-1ereas the old wooden chill bath was 

MUch larger, being approximately one cuoic yard in size. 

A Rotex electrolytic silver recovery W1.it1 for processing the spent photographic solu~ions collected from the Central ar~.d Field Service Offices was purchased and :placed in the electroplating laborv.tory. This unit will recover 95 percent of the silver from solutions at the ra·:.e of 2.5 gallons per hour. The metal 

recovery will be 99 percent pure ail ve::· and will have an estimated yearly net 

value of $51 800. 
The Division has cooperated in a program to investigate the .t'easibilitT ot the 

economic recovery of the dissolved silver from our s~ent photogra~h1e tixinc 

solutions. rhe pt~liminar,y study of two proposed recovery procedures indicated 

that the electrolytic method afforded the Office an opportunity to recover 

significant quantities of silver, and at the same tiMe reali~e considerable 

monetar.y return on the operation. To date, utilizing a combination ot the 

electrolytic and metallic replacement methods, a total of 414.5 tro1 ouacee 

ef silver scrap and sludge have been recovered. This material yielded 176 

ounces of pure silver tor a net value of $322.65. In addition, a total ot 

2J646 ounces have been recovered by the metallic replacement process, and it 

is now reaqy for return to the u.s. Mint tor processing. It is estimated that 

this material will contain approximately So percent silver and should returrt 

approximately $2,600. 

PUBLIC DOCUMENTS DIVISION 

The Division of Public Documents has general supervision of the public distribution 

of u.s. Government publications. It places publications on public sale, 

administers the depositor,y library distribution program, compiles catalogs, indexes and price lists of Government publications, and provides ~~ailing 

services for certain publications distributed by members of Oongreae aad otheT

A temporar,y intermediate work force employed for a six-month period during 

the year succeeded in completing on schedule the addition or ZIP codes to all 

addresses on mailing lists maintained by the division. 

A contract was negotiated for the conversion from Speedaumet addressing to 

electronic data processing or the largest single mailing list or approximately 850,000 names maintained by the Documents Division, plus several or the larger 

lists used in mailings for the Post Office Department. Servicing or these lists b.7 the new, improved modern process is scheduled to begin during fiscal 1969. 

An A.B. Dick Videograph (Model 915) addressing system has been installed in the 

Documents Division, and is undergoing final testing. It utilizes electronic 

tape as an input, for high-speed production or five-line mailing labels, sprocket punched for our standard maili,_:tg machines. 

The establishment or a new position or 1ail List Systems Specialist and the 

fortunate acquisition or an experiencec and highly-qualified incumbent have 

coordinated schedules with the contractor engaged in converSing mailing lists 

to elec·tronic data processing, and adVOAlced plans for the similar future -

conversion or the other lists maintainei. This position also provides for 

much-needed liaison between the Docume~ts Division operations and Data Processing Branch of the Government. Printing Offic:!. 

The continuing heavy volume or periodic1l and subscription-service-type mailings necessitated the acquisition of a thirc high~speed Cheshire mailing machine 

during the year. 

Modernization in the main Bookstore durlng fiscal 1968 affected both its 

appearance and operation. In addition jO an over-all redecoration, other 

improvements involved installation or f1ood lights to emphasize exhibits, new 

functional display racks, acquisition o~ a slide viewer and transicbroae light boxes. for presentation of color prints, and the significantly better customer 

service that has resulted from the quic.c checkout counter for customers who can 

readily identify and locate the books they need. 

The branch Bookstores in Chicago, Ill., and Kansas City, Mo., proved so 

successful during the experimental peri~d following their establishment, that 

their continuation as a part of the ope:-ations of the Office has been approved. 
-29-

The intensified ef,ort being made to acquaint a wider segment of the public 

with u.s. Governaent publications continued in 1968. Through arrangements 

which constituted a significant accomplishment, it was possible for our 

services to be featured on the nationally televised "Today Show." We also 

received similar opportunities on sevez·.al other local television and radio 

programs. Personal contacts made with commercial retail outlets in the local 

metropolitan area have resulted in the displa7 and sale of certain Govenuaent 

publications tor the first time by thoBa outlets. 

Publications displays and exhibits related to Government publications and 

services ot the Docuaents Division continued in demand at conventions, 

conferences, etc. Eight were presented in 1968 with gratit,ying results. 

The exhibit at the Conference of International Chiefs of Police was an outstanding example, where the reports of the President's Crime Commission were 

a timelY contribution and the interest created there was an important factor 

in t~e heavy sale of those reports. The publications exhibits at the Pentagon 

for National Librar.yWeek are always well attended, but in 1968 the·sales at 

that exhibit were almost double those of any previous year. 

Our cooperation with other Government departments and agencies in publicizing 

their publications continues to gain wider recognition throughout the Goverft-

!llent. Two special announcements that W!!re particularl7 successful involved 

a new Department of the Interior publication, "Room to Roam," and the Department 

of Labor's "Occupational Outlook Handbcnk." 

The nuber of depository libraries incr,~ased from 921 to 961. The Investigat-ion 

Questionnaire provided for by law was s~nt to the depositories during 1968. 

The resulting reports renect, in gener u., an increasing use of u.s. Government 

publications in the depositor, collectigns throughout the country. 

The non-Government Printing Office publ:".cations of the Depart.aent of State 

are the latest added to the depository :>rogram as part of the implementation 

of the .1962 Depository Library Act. 

A new telephone system, utilizing an au ~oms. tic Call Distributor silsilar to that 

in use at the u.s. Civil Service Commis ;ion, is now being installed,, and will 

be coapleted early in fiscal 1969. The new, automated equipment will enable 

calls to be handled in sequence, and w11.1 provide for recorded messages to 

customers where they can provide an add.td service. 

The new intermediate work shift, author·.zed by the 1969 Legislative Branch 

Appropriation Act, will be inaugurated ·<>.arly in fiscal 1969. This should 

make it possible to handle on a more cu)rTent basis the rapid increase in the 

mailings requested b7 other Government ·~.gencies, which have exceeded our 

resources in the past. 
-30-

The first revision since 1953 in the schedule used in establishing the prices of Government publications sold by the Office of the Superintendent of Documents 

has been completed and will go into effect early in fiscal 1969. The 

increased revenue that this is expected to produce will, hopefully, offset 

to some extent the costs of the further modernization that is imperative if 

we are to provide a 16 million dollar or more publications sales service in 

the manner that those who avail themselves of it have &he right to expect. 

New s.ystems and advances in procedures perfected for large commercial 

merchandising operations seem the only hope of our overcoming the problems created largely b.y the excessive time and cost now required for us to handle 

orders under the existing system, in quarters which are inadequate, and which 

were not designed for such an operation in the volume that it has alrea~ 

reached, and with every expectation that this volume will continue to increase 

in the years ahead. 

Preliminary plans are underway for the establishment of the additional branch 

Bookstore outside Washington that was authorized by the 1969 Legislative Branch 

Appropriation Act. With the recognized desirability that the new store be 

located on the West Coast, investigation of a possible site in San Francisco, 

Calif., is being made in cooperation with appropriate officials of the General 

Services Administration. 

FIELD SERVICE DIVISION 

The Superintendent, Field Service Division, under the general direction of the 

Deputy Public Printer, is responsible for the administration and technical 

activities of the six Field Service Division offices located in Chicago, 

Denver, New York; San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.c. These offices 

provide printing, binding, and related services, including the commercial 

procurement of printing in the field, to over 200 departmental and regional installations of the u.s. Government throughout the United States. The office 

of Superintendent is charged with the responsibility of administering all rules, 

regulations, and policies of the Government Printing Office, as applicable to 

the Field Service Division, and for the coordination of administrative and 

operational activities between the Central Office and the Field Service Division 

offices. 

The Department of the Interior became our largest customer during fiscal year l968l 

requiring in excess of $9001 000 of services from the various offices of the 

division. Most of their demands were placed on our Denver office, where the 

value of their local orders, mainly specifications for the Bureau of Reclamation, 

increased from $5571 000 in fiscal year 1967 to $625,000 in fiscal year 1968. 

The Post Office-Department, which was our largest customer last year, fell to 

second place because of an approximate 14 percent reduction in their require• 

ments from our Chicago, New York, and Washington, D.c., offices. The Departments 

ot the Treasury and the Army, which were in third and fourth places last year, 

dropped to fifth and sixth places this year due to reduced utilization of our 

services. Most of Treasury's decrease was felt by our New York office because 
-31· 

of Coast Guard's transfer to the new Department of Transportation, and lessened 

requirements by the Internal Revenue Service for tax fol"'l reprints. Ans;y's decrease was mainly caused by work now procured by the Central Office on 

established printing programs. Agriculture, with sales value approximating the same as last year, became our third largest customer, .followed b,y Navy 

as the fourth. Navy showed a sizable increase, from $150,000 to $519,000, 

which resulted from the merger of the Navy printing plant with our Departmental Service Office in Washington, D.C. While slight decreases in total sales were 

shown in Chicago, New York, and Seattle, our overall sales volume increased 

by 1.8 percent.

The Director of Personnel and his Staff Advisor, accompanied by the Assistant 

Superintendent of the Field Service Di,,ision and the Manager or the respective office, concluded successful labor-manegement agreements with American Federation 

of Govel"Jlllent Employees Lodges 2618, 218?, and 1292 in New York, Washington, D.c., and Chicago during the year. Agreement had also been reached in June 1967 with 

AFGE Lodge 1248 in Denver which was rai•ified and approved by the Public Printer 

in July 1967. 

The space problem in the Seattle Field Service Office was partiallY alleviated 

when earlY in the year renovations werE· completed on some 21 688 square feet of 

space by General Services Administration. 
The Superintendent of the F'iE~ld Service Division in January 1968 l'lladt an inspection tour of all Field Service offices. Specific attentioft was given to 

the administrative functions of the offices in an effort to improve eperations and reduce costs in this area. 

The Joint Comittee on Printing early 1.n May 1968 organized a committee to study the feasibility of establishing in strategically located areas of the country printing procurement offices to be operated by the Government Printing Office. The Superintendent, Field Service Division, and the Assistant Chief, Printing Procurement, were assigned to this committee and accompanied a meMber of the 

staff and several agency representatives to Utah, New Mexico, and Arizofta to 

inspect agency plants and present findings to the Joint Committee Oft Printing aRd the printing industry. Similar surveys of agency plants were also conducted in the Boston and Philadelphia areas. In all instances, it was feund that 

sufficient agency work produced in~house or procured commercially by the 

individual agencies was available to warrant establishment of printing procurement 

effices. 

During fiscal year 1968, the Field Service Division was engaged ift increased activity in printing procurement functions. Demands by HEW's Offiee ot Education eaused establishment of printing procurement programs in the New York area, 

as well as additional in-house work by our other plants. 

A greater emphasis is being placed on the use of commercial contractors to 

supplement the in-house capabilities of our plants so that unusual demands of 

the agencies can be met. The assignment of term contracts for specific programs tor several of our plants is providing a training base on which we can build to 

expand our experience in this area. 

DISBURSING OFFICE 

The Office of the Disbursing Officer is responsible and accountable for the collection and disbursement of all cash items, issuance of u.s. Savings Bonds, and ~ other cash transactions necessary to the conduct of Government Printing Otfice business.

The analysis for 1968 shows a slight increase in each phase of production with 

the exception of Savings Bond accounts and check refunds. The number of bond 

accounts indicated as 4,938 for June 30, 1967, decreased 467 by cancellation 

and separation to 4,471 as of May 4, 1968, but increased by 319 new accounts 

to 4,790 due to the Bond Drive. Although there was a decrease in the nuaber 

of accounts, over 8,000 more bonds were issued and approximately $2001 000 

additional was deducted.

GOVERNMI!X'l" PRINTING OFFICE RELOCATIOI 

1966 

-

.39 

58 

The relocation of the Government Printing Office has virtually languished throughout the past fiscal 78ar1 still stJmied by lack of an approved site. 

No action has been forthcoming on the suggested Prince Georges County location. 

A meeting with General Services Administration representatives and District of 

Columbia Mayor Walter Washington produced no significant progress on alternate 

in-city locations recommended by the National Capitol Planning Commission. 

Resistance to a suburban site appears to have hardened in accordance with the 

fear that Federal employment center mobility toward metropolitan satellite 

locations is contrar,y to the hoped-for policy of containment in the inner city. 

No compromise seems possible which would reconcile the Government Printing Office's need for a one or two level fs.cili ty engineered specifically for a 

printing plant with the tacit desire of many to keep the Office close to Capitol Hill and the inner city. With each passing dar, administrative decisions become 

more difficult because of the unanswer~d questions pertaining to relocation as 

opposed to remaining in the present location. Major renovation and replacement of building amenities are at issue, and the possibility of substantial 

funds being spent to carr,r out this work, only to relocate in the near future, 

seriously hampers sound decision-makinr. 

INTERNAL J UDIT S'l'AFF 

The Internal Audit Staff is responsible for conducting independent, objective, and constructive reviews of the Government Printing Office•s operating, administrative, and financial prograas and for reporting its findings and 

recommendations to the Public Printer.

*The Internal Audit Statt was establish.ed in May 1967. 
Plans call for the recruitment of an additional audi!ior and the detailing of 

various Government Printing Office specialists to the staff to a5aist in the 

audit of technical and production division activities. 

During the year, an audi.t or the GPO Guard Force activities waa completed, and a report issued to the Public Printer. Three other audits were started. 

but, uncompleted at year end, They pertain to the GPO financial statements ancl 

accounts, production security and control, and paper handling activities, 

A tivc ... year comprehensive audit plan was approved whe:x·eby all major funct.iono, 

activities, and organizational units of GPO will be audited at least once ever,y five years. 

A detailed audit manual was drafted setting forth audit policies and proceduFes, and outlining the objectives of internal audit work in GPO, the general scope of work to be performed, and standards of performance. 

F~UAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY PROGHAM 

'fhe Equal Employment Opportunity Office is responsible for reporting to and 

advising the Public Printer on matters involving charges of alleged discriMination 

against any employee, or any qualified applicant for employment in the Goverft• 

ment Printing Office. It also serves as a liaison with the Civil Service 

Commission and other pertinent agencies, groups, or individuals in the field 

of equal employment opportunity for the development of positive programs and 

procedures in compliance with Government fair employment policies. 

this Office was the recipient of six formal discrimination complaints during the fiscal year 1968. It was successful in resolving eight such complaints for the same period, five of which were carryovers from fiscal year 1967. 

In addition to investigating complaints of discrimination, this Office was 

involved with at least 47 separate employees or groups in counseling sessions. 

These sessions were usually conducted on an informal basis and covered a wide 

variety of employee problems. It is felt that this practice has been most 

fruitful in contributing to better employee understanding and in lessening the communications gap between employees and management. 

the year was highlighted by a series of talks at which the Public Printer 

restated his equal employment opportunity policy, and reaffirmed his determination 

to insure fair and impartial treatment of all Government Printing Office e~loyees and qualified applicants for employment on a continuing basis. 

Follow-up talks were conducted at the staff level in ever,y division, including Field Service Offices, in an effort to further emphasize the need for increased 

supervisor involvement in the overall equal employment opportunity program. 
The Equal Employment. Opportunity Offieer coopera,ted with the Director ot 

Pereennel in talks on the subject "Dealing with J~ino:ri ty Group Dtpleyees," given to supervisors of all divisions. 

Other activities tor the year included implementation of a revised ainority 

group statistical survey, .filing of a revised equal eaployaent opportunit7 Plan ot Action, and participation in a series of supervisor,y developnent training lectures.
