FORE\>/ORD 

The Government Printing Office began operations on March 4, 1861, ~n 

accordance with Congressional Joint Resolution 25 of June 23, 1860. The 

Act stated that the Superintendent of Public Printing was authorized and 

directed to nave executed the printing and binding authorized by the 

Senate and House of Representatives, the Executive and Judicial 

Departments, and the Court of Claims. 

The Government Printing Office is part of the Legislative Branch and is 

under the direction of the Public Printer of the United States. The 

Public Printer is required by law to be a practical printer versed in the 

art of bookbinding and is appointed by the President with the advice and 

consent of the Senate. The act~v~t~es of the Government Printing Office 

are outlined and defined in the Act of October 22, 1968, as amended (82 

Stat. 1238; 44 u.s.c.). 

The GPO executes orders for printing and binding placed by Congress and 

Departments and establishments of the Federal Government. Two of the 

major publications printed are the Congressional Record and the Federal 

Register. The GPO furnishes blank paper, inks, and similar supplies to 

Government organizations on order. It prepares catalogs and indexes and 

distributes and sells Government publications. Over 25,000 different 

publications are sold by mail order and Government bookstores 

nationwide. The GPO administers the Depository Library Program which 

provides selected Government publications to designated libraries 

throughout the country. The distribution of consumer information to the 

general public is also performed by the GPO on a reimbursable basis for 

the General Services Administration. 

GPO invites bids from commercial suppliers on a wide variety of printing 

and binding services. It awards and administers contracts and maintains 

liaison between ordering agencies and contractors. 

v 

HIGHLIGHTS 

The products and services provided by the Government Printing Office for 

fiscal year 1979 amounted to $702 million which consisted of $427 million 

for printing and binding services purchased commercially, $179 mill ion 

produced in-house, $23 million for the sale of blank paper and other 

services, $29 million for services associated with the distribution of 

publications to depository libraries and other related services, and $44 

million for sales of publications to the general public. 

During the year the proportion of congressional work converted from hot 

metal type to photocomposition processes increased sharply with all bills 

and most hearings being processed electronically. Also converted during 

the year to electronic printing were the four major Federal budget 

publications, the Budget of the u.s. Government, the Budget Appendix, the 

Special Analyses, and the Budget in Brie£. 

The Office continued its cost-reduction efforts during the year and the 

results of these efforts were reflected in the drop in total personnel 

from 7,574 employees on September 30, 1978, to 7,226 employees as of 

September 30, 1979. The total number of people employed on September 30, 

1979, was the lowest total number of people employed by the GPO since 

February 1963. 

The first increment of the Printing Procurement Regulation was initiated 

to consolidate and provide 1n one document all printing procurement 

regulations and guidelines. 

The Production Reporting for Operations, Budgeting and Expenditures 

System (PROBE) was expanded to provide time, attendance, and labor 

reporting for all GPO employees. 

Sales marketing activities for the General Sales Program were greatly 

expanded through the generation of special flyers and increased contact 

with media representatives. During the year procedures were adopted to 

allow the use of major credit cards when purchasing publications. This 

form of payment has proven to be very popular with Superintendent of 

Documents customers. 

VII 

THE PUBLIC PRINTER 1 S PERSPECTIVE 

The major emphasis of the Government Printing Office will be to continue 

to provide a more cost-effective and competitive operation that will 

insure the job security of GPO's employees and provide for commercial 

procurement of work that the Office is not equipped to do or which can be 

produced on schedule at lower cost. 

Long-range cost-reduction efforts will continue to center on the 

relocation of the Government Printing Office to a modern plant that will 

permit greater efficiency through the use of more modern equipment and 

improved material-handling operations. More immediate efforts to reduce 

costs will center on the automation of various activities within the 

Office and the modernization of present plant and equipment. 

Improving service to customers will remain a high priority goal 

througnout the Office. The development of an operations management 

information system is expected to reduce costs and improve service by 

supplying faster and more accurate information on customer inquiries. 

The continuing officewide support of the Quality Assurance Through 

Attributes Program is expected to help maintain and improve the quality 

of both in-house and commercially procured printing. 

Improving productivity and increasing sales will continue to be major 

priorities in the Public Documents Area. Productivity increases are 

expected with the development of workload standards for each of the 

operational areas. The increased use of automation in many production 

areas is also expected to improve productivity. Additional emphasis on 

marketing and marketing-related act~v1t1es is expected to increase 

substantially the sales of Government publications.

STAFF ACTIVITIES 

OFFICE OF THE GENERAL COUNSEL 

The General Counsel is the chief legal officer of the Government Printing 

Office and is responsible for providing legal services in all areas of 

law affecting the Government Printing Office. 

Significant Achievements 

In the factors of increased workload are broadened complexity of 

labor-management, litigation, legislation and contract appeals cases; 

research for interpretations of the Civil Service Reform Ac.t and Ethics 

in Government Act; more time required to scrutinize proposed legislation 

and public laws, which have become more comprehensive and contain more 

regulatory detail; and the increase of required procurement opinions. 

An important fraud case was decided in favor of the GPO and will have a 

broad effect on contractors doing work for the GPO. Through procedures 

in the District Court, the Office is receiving full restitution of the 

overcharges. Other cases ruled in favor of the GPO included six complex 

civil rights cases, which type of case continues to utilize a significant 

portion of staff resources. 

The Contract Appeals Board was reorganized to add more members with a 

technical knowledge of printing and procurement to achieve a better blend 

of technical and legal backgrounds during the hearing of appeals. 

Future Plans 

Our staff anticipates the persistence of a high number of appeals under 

the disputes clause of GPO procurement contracts. 

OFFICE OF AUDITS 

The Office of Audits ~s responsible for making independent appraisals of 

the various GPO activities and operations including risk analysis, 

automated data systems, and financial and management reports, and for 

making full disclosure of the results; for performing management advisory 

services; and for conducting such external audits, including contract 

audits, as are deemed necessary. The Office of Audits maintains liaison 

with the General Accounting Office and other outside organizations reviewing the activities of GPO. 

Significant Achievements 

During the fiscal year the Office of Audits performed reviews of the 

management and operating practices pertaining to Central Office, Regional 

Printing Procurement and Field Printing Offices, Documents Sales 

operations, and financial accounts and related activities. 

As a result of these reviews, 26 audit reports with greater depth and 

scope than the previous year were issued making recommendations to GPO 

management to enhance the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of GPO 

operations. Implementation of these recommendations should result in 

substantial savings. 

1 
A comprehensive review of the management and operations of the Documents 

Department was performed by using computer-assisted auditing techniques. 

The Office of Audits also made a complete review of GPO's financial 

statements and provided followup on prior GAO and GPO audit 

recommendations. 

Future Plans 

In fiscal year 1980, the Office of Audits plans to continue the use of 

computer-assisted auditing techniques and the survey approach to increase 

its audit coverage, and will supply added effort to evaluate internal 

controls to detect and prevent fraud and contractor abuse. Additional 

planning will be directed to the performance of ADP systems reviews and 

participation in systems development. 

SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO THE PUBLIC PRINTER 

The Special Assistant to the Public Printer is responsible for providing 

GPO information to and maintaining good relations with the general public 

and trade press, trade organizations, and the printing industry; 

coordinating tours of the GPO by approved domestic and foreign visitors; 

and performing other staff duties for the Public Printer. 

Significant Achievements 

A slide-tape presentation describing the mission and functions of GPO was 

updated by explaining GPO's Printing Procurement Operations and it was 

shown nationwide to potential Office contractors. 

A total of 64 tours of the GPO were conducted including 12 foreign 

visitor tours. 

Future Plans 

Exploration will continue of all media forms to provide dissemination of 

information concerning GPO plant operations which could be of interest or 

use to the commercial printing industry or other Government agencies. 

SPECIAL PROJECTS OFFICER 

The Special Projects Officer was responsible for conducting or directing 

the conduct of selected agency-level special projects, including the 

development of policy or systems and their implementation. 

Significant Achievements 

As the Office's liaison between the Joint Committee on Printing, GPO's 

top management, and the management consultants contracted by JCP, the 

Special Projects Officer provided technical assistance during the review, 

analysis, and evaluation of certain areas and facets of the Government 

Printing Office operations performed by the contractor under direction of 

the Joint Committee on Printing. 

The Officer served as the Public Printer's spokesman at the Advisory 

Committee meetings conducted during the winter of 1978-79 related to the 

proposed revision of Title 44, U.S.C., and was the Office's focal point 

of contact for the numerous requests of necessary information on this 

vital project. 

2 
As a result of the Board of Contract Appeals being placed under the 

general administrative control of the Officer, operational procedures for 

processing cases were developed, qualified board members were selected 

and approved by the Public Printer, and 16 pending cases were assigned to 

board panels for examination and hearings. 

Future ~lans 

The Officer expects that numerous requests from congressional committees 

for information will continue. 

3 
DEPUTY PUBLIC PRINTER (OPERATIONS) 

The Deputy Public Printer performs such duties as are assigned by the 

Public Printer ·and acts as Public Printer in the absence of the Public 

Printer in accordance with Title 44 of the United States Code and other 

applicable laws. He is responsible for the direction of planning and 

production of printing and binding through in-house facilities and 

contractors. In this capacity, he supervises and coordinates the 

activities of the managers of the Customer Service, Printing Procurement, 

Production, and Quality Control and Technical Departments. 

Perspective 

The conversion to electronic photocomposition continued in fiscal year 

1979. The proportion of congressional work diverted from hot metal type 

to photocomposition processes increased sharply during the year. Some of 

the more significant jobs converted during the year include the four 

annual publications compr~stng the Federal Budget and the Annual 

Supplement to the United States Code with substantial savings in time and 

costs. To support this increased activity, 25 more keyboard operators 

from the Composing Division were transferred and trained in the new 

process during the year. Plans are to continue to provide cross-training 

opportunities for employees affected by the transition from hot metal to 

photocomposition in order to meet GPO's goal of converting 90 percent of 

its total composition to electronic text processing by 1982. 

The value of printing procured commercially increased substantially due 

to inflation, the escalating cost of paper, and the higher than normal 

quantity of forms ordered for the 1980 census. 

The Quality Assurance Through Attributes Program was expanded within the 

Printing Procurement Department and a Quality Assurance Section was 

established in the Central Office. Although the section is still in a 

learning phase, improved quality has been noted in products furnished for 

inspection by a few specific contractors. The program is running 

smoothly and full implementation departmentwide is expected in January 

1980. 

Efforts will continue toward the complete modernization of equipment for 

the Congressional Record Room and the Binding Division which will provide 

adhesive binding capability for the Congressional Record and Federal 

Register. 

As the year ended plans were underway to divide the Offset Division and 

merge the Offset Preparation and Offset Negative Sections with the 

Electronic Photocomposition Division to form a new Prepress Division. 

The Press and Plate Sections of Offset are in the process of being merged 

with the Letterpress Division to form a new Press Division. 

4 
CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT 

The Customer Service t\fanager is responsible for the actl.Vl.ttes of the 

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

provides advice to the Public Printer and Deputy Public Printer on 

methods to improve GPO's ability to serve its customers. 

PLANNING SERVICE DIVISION 

The Planning Service Division is responsible for liaison with customer 

agencies; reviewing, recording, preliminary planning and processing of 

orders; coordinating the development of schedules for printing and 

binding services; maintaining informational and communicative services; 

pickup and delivery of copy, proofs, etc. 

Production Analysis 

The Planning Service Division processed 55,372 requisitions during this 

fiscal year, a slight increase over the previous year. Print orders 

processed during this fiscal year amounted to 42,245, a slight decrease 

from the previous year. A substantial decrease in spoilage was 

accomplished even though there was only a small percentage of decline in 

jackets issued. 

Significant Achievements 

Planning Service personnel were 

customer agencies and commercial 

planning. 

involved 1.n 

contractors 

nearly 400 meetings with 

concerning all phases of 

Numerous commendations were received from Congress and agencies not only 

for the efforts to meet requirements of individual jobs but, also, for 

the many savings achieved and the promptness of response to the constant 

demand for expeditious service. 

Future Plans 

The future plans of the Planning Service Division continue to be to 

provide customer satisfaction through timely response, accurate 

information, and maximum service. To accomplish these plans, the 

Division will continue to work on the development of an operations 

management information system which ts expected to enhance our service 

image in terms of more rapid response to customer inquiries. 

PLANT PLANNING DIVISION 

The Plant Planning Division is responsible for planning, estimating, and 

preparing production schedules for plant production; preparing jackets 

covering requisitions for blank paper and miscellaneous supplies; and 

controlling inventory levels of paper and envelopes within the Office and 

printing contractors' plants. 

Production Analysis 

The Plant Planning Division prepared 28,600 regular, print order, and 

open jackets during fiscal year 1979 which is a slight increase over the 

previous fiscal year. This was accomplished with a decrease 1.n the 

number of employees on board. 

5 
Significant Achievements 

Many changes were recommended by Division personnel to decrease costs on 

individual jobs. Customer agencies realized savings of over $332,000 as 

a result of these changes, which was an increase of over 24 percent over 

fiscal year 1978. Included in these savings was one for $125,000 when 

the customer agreed to the suggestion to change the paper. 

Future Plans 

The Division will continue to give the best efforts to provide the most 

economical methods of production while maintaining the highest possible 

level of quality and schedules. 

TYPOGRAPHY AND DESIGN DIVISION 

The Division is responsible for providing design, illustration, 

consultation, and quality control services to all Government agencies and 

the departments and services of the Government Printing Office. 

Production Analysis 

The number of jackets processed by the Division during fiscal year 1979 

totaled 5,250. Reflecting the trend toward fewer conferences for a 

longer period of time, the number of planning production conferences 

decreased by 60 percent to 108 while the hours spent in conference 

increased by 26 percent to 1,624. 

Significant Achievements 

Review procedures by Division technicians resulted in substantial savings 

in paper, ink, materials, and labor. The Division also reviewed all 

departmental color specifications for cost-effectiveness and esthetic 

quality. 

The Quality Assurance Through Attributes Program was implemented with the 

Division controlling all quality level I and II jobs. 

Eighty-one percent of all Division hours were charged to customer 

agencies with layout sketches averaging 88 per month and finished art 

work averaging over 450 pieces per month. 

Future Plans 

The demand for color work and Typography and Design quality control is 

expected to continue through the 1980 fiscal year. The Editorial 

Planning for Printing Production course is expected to be reduced from 4 

weeks to 4 days and to be given four times a year instead of two. 

PRINTING PROCUREMENT DEPARTMENT 

The Printing Procurement Department is responsible for the procurement 

from commercial sources of printing, binding, and related products and 

services and for the management and operation of the field printing 

offices. 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. 

6 
Production Analysis 

The value of printing and binding procured commercially by the Central 

Office during fiscal year 1979 amounted to $236 million, an increase of 

38 percent over the previous year. The value of printing and binding 

procured by regional printing procurement offices amounted to $191 

million, an increase of 27 percent over fiscal year 1978. Rapidly 

escalating paper costs, high-dollar-value procurements for the 1980 

census, and inflation contributed to these high percentage increases. 

The number of individual jobs procured by the Central Office amounted to 

63,000 and the number procured by regional offices was 176,000, a 

3-percent increase for each. The value of printing and binding produced 

by the Field Printing Division amounted to $13 million, an increase of 10 

percent over the previous year. 

Significant Achievements 

The Quality Assurance Through Attributes Program was expanded within the 

Department and requirements and provisions are now included in all specifications written for the Central Office that are of a general nature. 

Improved quality has been noted in products furnished for inspection. 

A new word-processing system was installed with the capabilities to store 

all the term contracts and to generate contract reports and compliance 

letters. The system also is used to store the Manual of Standard 

Language which consists of standard clauses and formats for the automatic 

generation of specifications. 

The first increment of the Printing Procurement Regulation was issued. It 

consolidates and provides in one document all of the printing procurement regulations and guidelines. 

Future Plans 

Procurement Management Assistance Reviews have been scheduled for next 

fiscal year to provide assistance to Department management in evaluating 

and improving the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of the Department's procurement operations. 

The Printing Procurement Progress Control System will be implemented in 

the regional offices as soon as the system is perfected in the Central 

Office. This automated data system will be designed to encompass the 

full spectrum of the Department's workflow. 

As a result of a reorganization in the Central Office, the administration 

of small purchase contracts will be improved through better communications between printing contractors and the persons responsible for the 

preparation of specifications. 

7 
PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT 

The Production Department is responsible for all in-plant printing 

production. The administrative functions are the prime responsibility of 

the Production Manager and his staff. Reporting to the Deputy Public 

Printer, this Department has direct responsibility for the Composing, 

Binding, Offset, Letterpress, Electronic Photocomposition, and Graphic 

Systems Divisions; and, also for the Library of Congress Branch, as well 

as a small installation at the Interior Department. The Delivery 

Section, Congressional Record Indexers, and congressional details are 

also responsibilities of this office. 

GRAPHIC SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT DIVISION 

The Graphic Systems Development Division is responsible for the design, 

development, and integration of the automated graphic systems for our 

customers, and for applying these systems to the specific processing 

requirements for individual jobs by developing page formats and specifications for input to the system. 

Production Analysis 

The number of new formats designed and placed in production during fiscal 

year 1979 was 385 and the number converted from Linotron to VideoComp was 

103. No comparison is possible with prior year figures since the Division 

was not created until July 1, 1978. 

Significant Achievements 

One of the most significant additions of the continuous development of 

GPO's Automated Composition System is subformat generation which reduces 

the compos~t~on time and costs for producing jobs containing large 

amounts of tabular matter. 

An automated system that generates input for the Photocomposition System 

by extracting, analyzing, editing, and translating data from a common 

data base was developed. This system eliminates excessive keyboarding 

and proofreading in the production of publications for Congress and 

agencies. 

Future Plans 

The House and Senate Journals, which are publications similar to the 

Congressional Record, will be incorporated into the system and will be 

used to test, in a production environment, the enhancements which must be 

added to the system to produce the Congressional Record. 

ELECTRONIC PHOTOCOMPOSITION DIVISION 

The Electronic Photocomposition Division is responsible for producing 

photocomposition using input data produced in the Division and provided 

by customer agencies and commercial contractors. The Division also uses 

electronic text-processing systems, equipped with video-display keyboard 

terminals and optical character readers, to convert text matter to 

computer-readable form. In addition to creating input data for the 

photocomposers these systems are also the means for continuous maintenance (updating) of large text data bases that are reprinted 

periodically. 

8 
Production Analysis 

The 1979 production statistics reflect the rapid and sustained growth of 

virtually every operation over the past 2 years. This growth is most 

clearly demonstrated by the doubling of total photocomposition output 

during the same 2-year time period. The decline in Linotron operations 

in 1979 is due to the gradual conversion of Linotron work to VideoComp 

product ion. 

Significant Achievements 

The Division has continued to absorb a steadily increasing workload as 

additional Federal printing is converted to text processing and photocomposition. Some of the more significant jobs converted during the year 

include the Budget of the u.s. Government, the Budget Appendix, the 

Special Ana lyses, the Budget in Brief, and the Annual Supplement to the 

United States Code. 

The Division conducted extensive training programs at the Office of the 

Federal Register (OFR) which made it possible for a substantial portion 

of the editing and updating of the Code of Federal Regulations data base 

to be done directly by OFR personnel. OFR personnel also worked with 

Division personnel to redesign the page format of the Federal Register 

for the first time in its history. 

Congressional work diverted from metal type to photocomposition processes 

increased sharply during the year. The bulk of committee hearings are 

now being photocomposed, and all congressional bills have been .converted 

to electronic processing. 

Future Plans 

Division operating plans in the immediate future will be primarily concentrated on meeting the GPO's goal of converting 90 percent of its total 

composition to electronic text processing and photocomposition by fiscal 

year 1982. To meet these goals, the upgrading of equipment in certain 

areas wi 11 be necessary. Some of these areas include the addition of 

large-capacity disk data storage equipment, the upgrading of operating 

system software of text editing systems, and the replacement of the 

Linotron 1010 photocomposers with more modern equipment. 

The conversion of the daily and bound editions of the Congressional 

Record to photocomposition is scheduled for January 1981, to coincide 

with the convening of the 1st session of the 97th Congress. The first 

phase of this conversion is planned for January 1980. At this time the 

Extension of Remarks portion of the Daily Record will begin 1n the 

Electronic Photocomposition Division. 

COMPOSING DIVISION 

The Composing Division is responsible for providing hot 

reproduction proofs to other divisions for completion 

Congress and Federal agencies. Upon request, the Division 

printing specialists to provide technical advice and 

continuing responsibility is to provide assistance in the 

electronic photocomposition.

transition to 
Production Analysis 

As anticipated, tlle production :t.n tne Composing Division continued to 

decline due to the conversion from hot metal to electronic photocomposition. Total payroll decreased more than 21 percent even though 

hourly wages increased. Ems of hot metal type produced totaled just over 

843 million, a 39-percent decrease from fiscal year 1978. However, the 

ems-per-hour average increased almost 3 percent, to 4,573 ems per hour, 

indicating improved productivity. Further indications of the decline of 

the Composing Division include total employees down over 14 percent; 

overtime hours down about 52 percent; Congressional Record pages down 19 

percent; and total hours down 24 percent. 

Through this transitional period, the Composing Division will continue to 

provide available resources for technical assistance, production training, and any other areas that will insure a smooth progression of events. 

Significant Achievements 

A 2-year training program was established to advance monotype castermen 

to journeyman-level monotype keyboard operators. 

The Ems Measurement Report underwent extensive changes and has proven to 

be a useful management tool and has been effective in increasing operator 

product ion. 

The bill production operation in the Linotype Section was discontinued as 

a result of conversion to electronic photocomposition. 

Future Plans 

Consolidation of sections will receive major emphasis beginning with the 

elimination of the Patents Section in early fiscal year 1980. Later in 

the year steps will be taken toward combining the proofreading operations 

for Electronic Photocomposition and Composing into one section. 

All phases of operation, including retraining of employees and elimination of surplus equipment, will be closely monitored to effectively 

continue the conversion to electronic photocomposition. 

LETTERPRESS DIVISION 

The primary mission of the Letterpress Division is to meet congressional 

requirements for printing produced by the letterpress process. The 

Division also prints other jobs assigned to it such as postal cards and 

miscellaneous departmental work. These tasks are accomplished by four 

sections: ~ain Press, Postal Card, Photoengraving, and Stereotype. 

Production Analysis 

A total of 265 million impressions was reported during fiscal year 1979. 

This was 10 percent below the previous 12-month period and reflects the 

Division's reduced workload caused by the continuing transition from hot 

metal to photocomposition. The Congressional Record and Federal Register 

total impressions were 74 million, or 8 percent above last year's total. 

Letterpress postal card production was 526 million, which was 22 percent 

below last year's production. 

10 
Significant Achievements 

The last printing of the Congressional Record using stereotype plates was 

on April 10, 1979. The Stereotype Section was abolished April 22, 1979, 

and the equipment has since been removed. Letterpress is now printing 

the Federal Register and Congressional Record using photopolymer plates. 

The Postal Card Section had four press cylinders modified this year to 

magnetic cylinders. They are now printing all the regular one-color 

postal cards with the use of photopolymer plates. The makeready and 

imposition time has been reduced by about 75 percent. 

The Letterpress Division had a manpower ceiling of 437 in 1975. One of 

the goals of this Division has been to reduce manpower by 7 percent per 

year. This goal was met in 1976 and 1977. In fiscal year 1978 and 1979 

the goal was exceeded by 3 percent and 16 percent respectively. With 

manpower at 272 the Letterpress Division can produce the needed work for 

Congress, and a continuation of at least a 7-percent reduction in 

personnel is again expected for fiscal year 1980. 

Future Plans 

The Letterpress Division and Offset Division are to be combined into one 

Press D~v~s~on at the beginning of the next fiscal year. It ~s 

anticipated that the Emergency Unit of the Main Press Section will be 

phased out through attrition as transfers and retirements deplete their 

numbers. The Federal Register and the Congressional Record will continue 

to be printed on the present Record presses as long as the Government 

Printing Office remains in this building because of the durability and 

versatility of these presses. 

OFFSET DIVISION 

The Offset Division is responsible for producing printed matter by the 

photolithographic offset process and for performing necessary copy 

preparation tasks for both in-house and commercially procured work. 

Production Analysis 

During fiscal year 1979, total impressions for web and sheet-fed presses 

increased by 13 percent to 309 million impressions. Total makereadies 

also showed a 14-percent increase although total machine hours decreased 

10 percent. 

Significant Achievements 

Modernization of the Offset Press Sections included the installation of 

three Group 87 perfecting presses and new areas readied for the 

installation of the new Group 88 web presses. Automatic water- and 

ink-leveling systems as well as a force-fed-piped ink supply were made 

operational on the Group 86 presses and pasting problems on these presses 

appear to have been solved. 

The web presses showed an increase in hours, makereadies, and impressions 

as our newer presses increased production. Of particular note is a 

22-percent increase in Group 86 impressions. It is also interesting to 

note that there were more makereadies (3 percent) and more impressions 

run (6 percent) on the sheet-fed presses in fewer hours than the previous 

fiscal year. 

11 
Future Plans 

Plans are underway to divide this Division and merge the Offset Preparation and Offset Negative Sections lolith the Electronic Photocomposition 

Division to form Prepress. The Press and Plate Sections of Offset will 

be merged with the Letterpress Division to form the new Press Division. 

BINDING DIVISION 

The Binding Division is responsible for all finishing operations on work 

processed in the Government Printing Office. T'nese operations include 

folding, gathering, inserting, sewing, stitching, casemaking, cutting, 

drilling, padding, and packaging. The Division also repairs and restores 

old bindings for Congress and Federal agencies. 

Production Analysis 

The production records, including an all-time low of sheets folded, 

continue to reflect the trend of less sheet-fed signature work and an 

increase of web-delivered signature work. The demand for casebound books 

decreased about 40 percent during fiscal year 1979, causing a reduction 

of almost 15 percent in books gathered. However, the number of books 

inserted increased 5 percent, indicating a basic switch to more 

economical production methods. 

Although most major operations in the Bindery showed a decrease in 

production, u.s. passport production increased by about 2 percent. This 

increase, however, is below the Passport Office estimate of an annual 10-

percent increase through t985. 

There was an increase of 6 percent in the total number of daily Federal 

Register copies processed. However, the offsetting decrease in total 

copies processed of the Congressional Record, Record Index, Register 

Index, and other related publications resulted in only a nominal increase 

in total production for these categories. 

Significant Achievements 

The Bindery Control Unit, which was originally established during fiscal 

year 1978, was staffed and equipped to approximately 75 percent of 

projected capacity. This unit, which is proving to be a viable tool for 

work control, monitors all jobs from entry into the Bindery until 

production steps are completed. 

An automatic shrink plastic wrapping machine was installed and has almost 

tripled the production of the previous machine. This has reduced cost by 

over 60 percent. 

Two disintegrater machines were purchased and installed for destruction 

of classified material by a method permitting adherence to the District 

of Columbia Air Quality Regulations. 

12 
Future Plans 

The study of the plan to modernize the equipment for the Congressional 

Record will be continued. It is anticipated that a new configuration 

will provide production and mailing automation as well as capability for 

adhesive binding of the Congressional Record and the Federal Register. 

A study of workflow will be conducted by Engineering Service to determine 

possible areas of productivity improvement. 

An experimental order of a new passport design will be processed to 

determine feasibility of mechanization of passport assembly to meet the 

needs of the Passport Office.

The offset production of the Library Branch was transferred to the 

Catalog Distribution Service as of May 1979. The remaining letterpress 

operation continues to serve the Library of Congress although the 

letterpress requirements for the catalog cards are still declining. Due 

to overprinted subject headings, total press impressions have increased. 

Significant Achievements 

The employees of the Library Branch have been performing various 

functions as needed to achieve efficient and economical service for the 

Catalog Distribution Service during a period of planned reduction in 

force. 

The Library Branch offset equipment was transferred to the Catalog 

Distribution Service and necessary steps were taken to charge the Library 

of Congress for the amortization cost of the equipment and necessary 

maintenance. 

Future Plans 

The reduction in work force will continue until only about 10 positions 

will be required to meet Library of Congress requirements. It is 

anticipated that the work level will then stabilize for several years. 

Plans will be formulated for the physical. transfer of the remaining 

Library Branch to the Central Office due to the Library of Congress 

leaving the Navy Yard Annex within the next 2 years. 

QUALITY CONTROL AND TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT 

The Quality Control and Technical Department develops and coordinates the 

GPO Quality Program. It is responsible for the laboratory testing of 

items utilized in the printing and binding operations, and the 

manufacture of select supply items such as inks, type metals, adhesives, 

etc. Technical support 1s provided to the various quality control 

13 
elements in the Office and the environmental and personnel protection 

programs of GPO. Ancillary functions include the maintaining of adequate 

inventories of press rollers and printing inks, the development of 

procurement specifications, monitoring materials, and work environments. 

The Department also maintains liaison with regulatory agencies and 

various technical organizations engaged in related work, and provides 

technical service and support to the plant, the Joint Committee on 

Printing, and other governmental agencies. 

Production Analysis 

The total number of samples tested during the fiscal year amounted to 

9,803 (decrease of 14 percent). Printing inks manufactured totaled 

153,214 pounds (increase of 33 percent) and purchased printing inks 

totaled 184,846 (decrease of 3 percent). The overall quantity of ink 

increased about 10 percent. Type metal issues decreased about 25 percent 

and continue to reflect the decrease of hot metal composition. 

Significant Achievements 

Improvements in control of quality were realized in many areas. These 

improvements include development and approval of specifications for three 

new printing papers; publishing of Quality Assurance Through Attributes 

Contract Terms; issuance of QATAP Printing Procurement Technical Manual 

and Central Office and Regional Printing Procurement Procedures Manuals; 

initiation of in-house, Departmental Service Office and' Denver Field 

Printing Office production quality control programs; drafting of a Field 

Quality Control Manual; initiation of a pilot program for quality 

assurance of microfiche; and revision of the internal product quality 

audit report. 

Other significant achievements were the development of a new procedure to 

identify sources of baled wastepaper; initiation of a defective paper 

tracking system; collection of about 40 samples to assure adequate 

environmental protection; restructuring of ink specifications and 

manufacturing procedures to better meet the needs of the Congressional 

Record, Postal Service, and other special requirements; providing 

technical assistance to other Departments and organizations throughout 

the industry. Additionally, four technical reports were published to 

keep management personnel abreast of new and emerging technology. 

Future Plans 

We plan to increase the efficiency of our testing program and reduce 

needless testing by updating specifications. We will stay abreast with 

changes in science and technology as well as Federal and District of 

Columbia laws to insure proper graphic art support and adequate control 

of environment, safety, health, etc. 

We wi 11 initiate a method for rating the quality level of potential 

contractors. 

We will continue to oversee the production changes within GPO with a view 

toward adjusting quality control materials and services to properly fill 

current needs. 

We will start a program to measure quality of service by several means, 

not the least of which is recording, evaluating, and analyzing complaints.

ASSISTANT PUBLIC PRINTER FOR MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION 

It is the responsibility of the Assistant Public Printer for Management 

and Administration (M&A) to provide the support services essential to 

insure effective functioning of all operating departments of the Office. 

The Assistant Public Printer (M&A) supervises the Office of Equal 

Employment Opportunity, the Comptroller, and the Directors of Data 

Systems, Engineering, General Services, Materials Management, Personne 1, 

Labor-Management Relations, and Security, Investigations and Inspection; 

coordinates their operations; and advises the Public Printer on policy 

matters. Statistics applicable to these services are shown in table 17. 

Perspective 

During fiscal year 1979 the services within the Management and 

Administration area continued to be actively committed seeking improved 

methods to accomplish their missions. The Production Reporting for 

Operations, Budgeting and Expenditures System (PROBE) was expanded to 

provide time, attendance, and labor reporting for all GPO employees. A 

fully automated Savings Bond System was developed for implementation with 

the change to the new Series EE bonds scheduled early in 1980. The 

unqualified opinion given by the Comptroller General on the review of the 

GPO financial statements for fiscal years 1977 and 1978 attests to the 

fact that our accounting policies and procedures are in accordance with 

Government accounting standards and pertinent laws and regulations. 

In an effort to develop uniform union contract prov:tsl.ons, eliminate 

duplicate negotiations, and reduce negotiating costs, we will continue 

seeking an agreement with the GPO Joint Council of Unions. This 

agreement will eliminate the negotiations witn each union individually. 

The appointment of a Data Base Administrator will lead to greater 

integrity of and better utilization of our overall data base as 

automation projects are initiated, expanded, or scheduled for 

implementation to further support officewide programs. The Materials 

Management Procurement and Control System will be further expanded to 

encompass procurement and receiving functions. A Voucher Processing and 

Payment System will be developed to record, control, approve, and pay all 

GPO bills. The General Ledger System will be fully automated to provide 

complete processing of financial, operating, and budget data and to 

provide more timely and flexible reports for all levels of management and 

operations. 

As a result of a reorganization designed to provide improved service, the 

Office of Equal Employment Opportunity was established. It is 

anticipated that this organization will undergo significant modification 

to be more responsive to the needs of the GPO. 

The management assistance provided in the form of presentations of 

financial, budgetary, productivity, and MBO data; analyses of word 

processing equipment, inventory controls, communications; and other 

analytical functions will be expanded. 

Continued emphasis will be directed toward the prevention and detection 

of possible fraudulent activities within the procurement programs to 

insure their integrity, and to reduce the costs resulting from false 

claims.

Significant Achievements 

A Planning and Performance Review Staff was established and a Data Base 

Administrator was appointed to more effectively carry out the Data 

Systems mission. A Data Systems Service Quarterly Planning Guide and a 

Data Systems Service Training Program were developed to increase management effectiveness by both users and Data Systems personnel. 

Several major systems were implemented during the year, including the 

Notifications of Personnel Action, Maintenance Accounting System, Deposit 

Accounts System, Mail List Title File, and the Refund and Dishonored 

Check Control System. 

Additional progress was made on the development of the Materials Management Procurement and Control System and the Operations Management Information System (OMIS).

Renovation of more than 21,600 square feet of floor space was completed 

in the Production and Printing Procurement areas. 

The Service installed and modified printing and binding equipment in the 

various production areas of GPO. 

Approximately 10,000 blueprints and 88 sets of specifications were 

provided in support of various projects accomplished in-house or through 

competitive bidding. 

The maintenance of the GPO PROBE and JC-80 systems as well as the ATEX 

text editing system of the Senate and House Information Service were 

transferred from outside contractors to Engineering's Electronic Systems 

Branch resulting in an estimated annual savings of $90,000. 

Performance standards were established for keyboard operators in the 

Electronic Photocomposition Division by Industrial Systems Division. 

Future Plans 

Engineering Service will continue to work closely with departments, 

services, and divisions to expedite their renovation plans, equipment 

purchases, and installation requirements. The Service will also continue 

to monitor the maintenance service provided by outside vendors to 

determine if the service can be provided at a lower cost by using inhouse personne 1. It is expected that during the coming year additional 

work standards and preventive maintenance procedures will continue to be 

established and the majority of engineering shops' activities will be 

scheduled utilizing established performance standards. 

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SERVICE 

Financial Management Service provides financial services to meet 

officewide managerial and operating requirements in accordance with 

applicable laws and regulations. These services include budgeting, 

general accounting, cost accounting, ratemaking, billing, examination and 

certification, disbursing, property accountability, and productivity and 

work measurement. 

Significant Achievements 

Service provided by Finane ial Management Service to top management and 

operating managers was improved while the staffing was reduced by 32 

employees, from 314 to 282, even though the workload increased. 

Also significant in the improvement of services is the expansion and 

development of several automated systems including the expansion of the 

Production Reporting for Operations, Budgeting and Expenditures System 

(PROBE) resulting in more timely and accurate input cost and a cost 

savings of $978,000. Also, the Automated Refund and Dishonored Check 

Control System; the Automated Obligations and Pre-Certification System; 

and the automated Congressional Appropriation Cumulative Analysis Report 

were implemented during the year. 

Payroll processing was improved resulting in earlier delivery of paychecks, an improved security system for checks, the earliest issuance of 

W-2 withholding statements in GPO history, and the reporting of current 

leave balances on the Earnings and Leave Statement. 

17 
Future Plans 

Efforts will be continued toward the goal of an automated General Ledger 

System which will utilize the advantages of computerized techniques to 

provide improved financial data including effective management forecasts. 

An automated Voucher Processing System will be developed to 

control, certify, and generate payment of all bills of the GPO. 

Development of a tracking system is planned to monitor estimated 

of approved capital projects and to provide incorporation 

Zero-Base Budget for the Capital Budget items.

General Services provides a comprehensive range of general administrative 

services, management and systems analyses, and a responsive management 

information system in support of officewide managerial and operating 

requirements. 

Significant Achievements 

Major efforts were taken toward simplification of forms and systems to 

alleviate the paperwork burden, including the revision of the forms 

reordering procedure to accommodate the automated materials system and a 

1uajor revision to Standard Form 1, Printing and Binding Requisition. 

Revised for the first time in over 30 years, this form is the primary 

document or requisition used by agencies for requesting printing and 

binding and associated products and services from the Government Printing 

Office. 

Record-retetltion schedules were developed for selected Documents Areas 

and a records disposal project released 300 square feet of storage space. 

Actions taken include strengthening bulletin board regulations; 

establishing guidelines to insure uniform submission of data for the 

Congressional Directory and Government Manual; replacing teletype 

equipment; expanding parking facilities by acquiring additional land; 

conducting cost/benefit and lease versus purchase studies on office 

equipment; providing word-processing assistance; analyzing the status of 

MBO projects; coordinating the preparation of Five-Year Plans for the 

Management and Administration Area; and changing telecommunications 

equipment for less expensive transmission. 

Future Plans 

Plans for the future include a feasibility study into the benefits of a 

GPO Management Information System and word-processing studies to identify 

additional areas of possible benefit. 

Other management aids include the analysis of the GPO Cafeteria 

operation; the development of an internal printing management program; 

implementation of records retention schedules; further study of 

microfilming select Office records; updating of telecommunications 

equipment to achieve improved service at current or possibly reduced 

cost; and reducing the time involved in processing parking applications. 

18 
LABOR-MANAGEMENT RELATIONS ~ERVICE 

The Labor-Management Relations Service provides effective representation 

of management's position in third-party proceedings, and engages in 

timely negotiations and grievance processing. These, and other forms of 

labor relations activities, are undertaken on behalf of the Public 

Printer, Deputy Public Printer, and Assistant Public Printers in 

accordance with applicable laws and regulations. 

Significant Achievements 

In order to develop uniform contract provisions, eliminate duplicate 

negotiations and reduce negotiating costs, combined negotiations are 

being conducted with the GPO Joint Council of Unions, which represents 14 

Central Office unions, on many subjects of officewide concern. Negotiations on subjects peculiar to individual unions and units will continue 

to be held separately -- the results of which will be included in supplemental agreements. 

The GPO was successfully represented in the Office's first arbitration of 

all Central Office blue-collar wages. The arbitrator granted only 1.3 

percent over management's final offer. Arbitrators upheld management on 

all five grievances which were arbitrated. 

Future Plans 

Efforts to reach a master agreement with Centra 1 Office unions 

continue as will the supplemental training of all supervisors in the 

requirements of the Civil Service Reform Act. In addition, 

processing of grievances and unfair labor charges will be streamlined.

19 
Future Plans 

The Materials Management Procurement and Control System will. be further 

expanded during the coming year to encompass procurement and receiving 

functions. Automation of transportation functions will also be empnasized in order to handle anticipated increases in the volume of wo.rk. 

Finally, a self-service store for general. office supplies and forms 1s 

planned for the Central. Office. This store will provide a convenient, 

centralized location for ready access to general office supplies and 

forms. 

OFFICE OF EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY 

Tne Office of Equal Employment Opportunity is responsible for assisting 

the Public Printer in implementing affirmative programs designed to 

promote equal opportunity in employment and personnel prac~ices within 

GPO; to provide equal employment opportunity counseling to employees and 

applicants at GPO; and to process formal complaints of discrimination 

based on factors prohibited by law. 

Significant Achievements 

A Career Progression System was developed for the Printing Procurement 

Department which formalizes and standardizes advancement opportunities 

for all nonprofessional GG employees into the professional series. This 

system, which is built on the knowledge, abilities, skills, and other 

characteristics approach, represents the first attempt to coordinate and 

relate all promotions and reassignments in the nonprofessional series to 

the Printing Procurement Department's comprehensive position structure. 

A training session was conducted on promotion panel procedures for EEO 

representatives who serve as promotion panelists. A report writing 

program for the EEO counselors in the local field installations was 

developed and conducted to enhance their skills in preparing complete and 

concise reports of their counseling activities. Significant improvement 

has been noted in the reports submitted. 

The Office conducted services to various community and c1v1.c organizations in the metropolitan area whose major objectives are identifying 

future career objectives among junior high students, and providing 

employment opportunities for minorities and women in areas of underrepresentation. Some of these services consisted of conducting workshops 

and assisting in the development of a comprehensive handbook for 

employees in one of the organizations. 

Future Plans 

The Affirmative Programs Division will intensify briefings and consultations with department and service heads regarding affirmative action 

goals and objectives with respect to organizational underrepresentation. 

The EEO Counseling and Complaints Processing Division plans at least one 

training session for local field and Central Office counselors and to 

schedule quarterly visits to the local field installations to talk with 

counselors and managers. 

20 
PERSONNEL SERVICE 

Personnel Service provides a full range of personnel programs, including 

employment, career development, classification, employee relations, and 

occupational health services, in accordance with pertinent laws, Office

During 1979, a portion of the automated systems planned for the Employment Branch was tested, and a request was submitted to obtain services 

and equipment to complete the planned automation. In addition, training 

records were placed on a mini-computer which can produce reports and 

information that were not previously available. 

A GPO Managers Conference in which 99 managers participated was totally 

organized by the Career Development Branch. This branch also conducted 

group counseling sessions for 150 employees at the Laurel complex concerning career development programs and self-development opportunities. 

A new program for monitoring suggestions was established and has been 

effective in reducing suggestion processing time and substantially increasing employee participation in the Suggestion Program. 

Future Plans 

Reclassification of GG pos1t1ons under the new Factor Evaluation System 

of Position Classification will continue as new standards are approved 

and issued by the Office of Personnel Management. 

Further efforts will be made to automate within-grade increases and other 

items included in our Data Automation Plan. 

The Service expects to complete development and begin teaching a new 

course for blue-collar work leaders. 

SECURITY, INVESTIGATIONS, AND INSPECTION SERVICE 

The Security, Investigations, and Inspection Service provides security, 

investigative, and inspection programs for Government Printing Office 

personnel and facilities, including law enforcement, conflict of interest 

reporting and monitoring, discrimination complaint and general investigations, internal control, and protective services in support of officewide 

managerial requirements and policies. 

Significant Achievements 

Investigation of possible fraudulent on-the-job lnJuries resulted in 

adverse personnel actions against several employees and helped hold the 

cost of continuance of pay compensation for the last three quarters of 

1979 below that for the same period of 1978.

Future Plans 

Continued emphasis and effort will be placed on the prevention and detection of possiole fraudulent activities within the commercial procurement 

programs to insure their integrity. Further, the Service will continue 

its investigative efforts to reduce the high costs to the Government and 

GPO resulting from alleged work-related injury claims. 

22 
ASSISTANT PUBLIC PRINTER (SUPERINTENDENT OF DOCUMENTS) 

The major responsibilities of the Office of the Assistant Public Printer 

(Superintendent of Documents) are the sale of Government publications, 

the compilation of catalogs and indexes of Government publications, the 

distribution of Government publications to depository libraries, and the 

mailing of publications for members of Congress and Government agencies. 

The Documents Area is comprised of three major services: Documents Sales 

Service, Library and Statutory Distribution Service, and Documents 

Support Service. 

Perspective 

Sales marketing acttvtttes will be expanded through vtstts to publishing 

agencies, more frequent contact with media representatives, generation ot 

special announcements, and participation in consumer awareness programs. 

In order to minimize postage costs, many special announcements and flyers 

will be inserted with regular mailings. 

Throughout Documents, continued emphasis will be placed on improving 

service and productivity, and reducing costs through automation and 

mechanization. Organizational and operational approaches to management 

by program will be emphasized. Methods of monitoring the progress and 

effectiveness of program mission, goals, and objectives will be developed. 

Workload in the Consumer Information (Free) Program and the Depository 

Library Distribution Program will increase by approximately 10 percent in 

1980. The By-Law Distribution Program volume will increase by 20 percent 

or about 3 million copies during the election year. The General Sales 

Program constant dollar gross revenue is expected to increase by 5 

percent which will be achieved through the creation of a broader 

awareness of Documents Publications. Other workload indicators will 

increase moderately. Personnel increases will remain modest and will be 

adjusted according to workload. 

DOCUMENTS SALES SERVICE 

The Documents Sales Service is responsiole for the sale of documents in 

accordance with Title 44, United States Code, and other laws and 

regulations. This mission is performed through the General Sales, 

Special Sales, and the Consumer Information (Free) Distribution Programs. 

Significant Achievements 

The Sales Service has continued to make improvements in existing systems 

and procedures and to develop detailed functional systems requirements 

for enhancement to existing systems, as well as for major new systems. 

The Service also increased marketing efforts in fiscal year 1979 through 

visits to publishing agencies, more frequent contact with media 

representatives and the generation of special flyers and announcements. 

Credit cards were introduced early in the year and have proven popular 

with both telephone and mail order customers. 

23 
Future Plans 

Future plans include a variety of projects aimed at 

efficiency, improving service and expanding sales. Some 

projects include redesigning the subscription system so all 

names will only appear once in the master file, and relocating 

in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Kansas City. 

LIBRARY AND STATUTORY DISTRIBUTION SERVICE

The Library and Statutory Distribution Service is responsible for 

compilation of the Monthly Catalog, indexing of Government documents, 

distribution of Government documents to depository libraries, and mailing 

of documents for members of Congress and Government agencies. 

Significant Achievements 

Monthly catalog and depository record automation plans were completed 

during the year and implementation was begun. A total of 20,500 

Government documents were converted to microfiche and 5.7 million copies 

were distributed to depository libraries. Ninety-eight new libraries 

were designated as depository libraries as the result of a new law which 

allows all accredited law school libraries to be designated as depository 

libraries. 

The order preparation activities in the Consigned Stock Distribution 

Division were consolidated to improve workflow and control. This 

consolidation includes a corral picking layout and a conveyor system for 

completed orders.

DOCUMENTS SUPPORT SERVICE 

The Documents Support Service is comprised of three Divisions which are 

responsiole for directing work-supporting and management services 

necessary to the operation of the Office of the Assistant Public Printer 

(Superintendent of Documents}. 

Significant Achievements 

A program for standardization and management of data elemen'ts for all 

Documents systems was established to reduce unnecessary duplication of 

information. 

During the past year major efforts were devoted to refining and enhancing 

automated systems throughout the Documents organization. In the Sales 

Area the refinements were mainly devoted to preparing for future systems 

interfaces whereas in the Support Areas the enhancements were mainly 

directed toward improving existing systems. 

24 
Substantial savings were realized in postage costs at the Pueblo 

Distribution Center when service personnel developed a new method of

Future Plans 

A Quality Assurance Plan will be developed 1n fiscal year 1980 to 

periodically analyze and evaluate Documents operations. Emphasis will 

also be placed on establishing a complete productivity program that will 

include production standards for all order processing areas. 

25 
ASSISTANT PUBLIC PRINTER (PLANNING) 

The Office of the Assistant Public Printer (Planning) is responsible for 

assessing and forecasting the environment in which the Government 

Printing Office operates, and for advising the Public Printer as to 

events and trends which can impact the performance of his mission. The 

main thrust of this effort may conveniently be viewed as addressing 

technology, economics, social issues, and Government relations. 

Additionally, the staff coordinates and supports administratively the 

preparation of the annual Government Printing Office Five-Year Plan. 

Perspective 

The staff provides to the Public Printer and to other line managers 

specialized analytic and operations research support. For example, the 

forthcoming issue of the Five-Year Plan (fiscal years 1982-86) includes a 

strong focus on productivity improvement as measured by reduction of 

product unit cost. The long-term purpose of this approach is to exploit 

our rare (for Government) capacity to measure objectively outputs versus 

costs, for the benefit of our customers and, ultimately, the taxpaying 

public.
