PREFACE 

The Annual Report of the Public Printer is prepared and submitted 

to the Congress in accordance with the appropriate provisions of Chapter 21 

Title 44, United States Code. In addition to the required fiscal and 

production statistics pertaining to the Government Printing Office proper and 

the activities of the Public Documents Division, the report contains an 

abridged account of each major activity of the Office. 

The mission of the Government Printing Office is to provide the 

printing and binding services required by Congress and the Government Departments in accordance with law and the Government Printing and Binding Regulations. 

In order to accomplish this mission, the Public Printer is required to have 

sufficient equipment and an adequate complement of trained graphic arts 

craftsmen to meet the peak-load requirements for the Congress and the urgent 

needs of the Departments. This printing and binding service covers all 

congressional work1 the bulk of which is produced on ver.y close schedules 

in order to meet "musttt deliver.y dates. 

Besides providing the printing and binding for Congress, which has 

increased about 20 percent during the past 10 years, it is necessary that a 

large part of the printing and butding for nearly 100 Federal Departments, 

Bureaus, and Agencies be accomplished in the Govenment Printing Office. This 

includes classified printing, rush work, national emergency work, and jobs 

iemanding a combination of operations not obtainable from commercial sources 

sithin the time allowed by the Departmentso 

The production capability of the Government Printing Office is based 

on the long experience of the Public Printer and his production officials with 

the needs of Congress and the Departments. Manpower and machinery are 

maintained at a level which will assure that all requirements of the Congress 

and the Departments are met, with appropriate recognition of the increasing 

trend toward ever-shorter deliver,y schedules. 

A necessary amount of printing and binding work from Departments 

which does not require a special or urgent schedule must also be retained in 

the Government Printing Office as filler work to keep essential personnel and 

equipment gainfully occupied. 

In 1966, the Government Printing Office's volume of business was 

$175.9 million. This income was derived !'rom in-plant and commercially 

procured printing and binding and the supply of blank paper and miscellaneous 

services and materials. Commercial contractors furnished 51.3 percent of 

the printing and binding volume, exclusive of Field Service and Departmental 

Service Office worko More than 1 billion publications of all kinds were 

produced, including 9.4 million copies of the Congressional Record and 5.1 

million copies of the Federal Register. The Congress, 1vi.th billings of $20.6 

million, was our next-to-largest customer, and second to A~ with $25.5 million. 
-2-

Sales volume of the Superintendent of Documents SlllOunted to $14.8 

million, of which $7.6 million is to be returned to the United States Treasury. The amount returned to the Treasur,y will exceed the appropriation for all 

Superintendent of Documents operations by about $1.8 million. Paper deliveries 

averaged about 19 freight-car loads daily. Envelope deliveries were sharply 

up, with 258 million being used in 1966 compared with 173 million during the 

previous year. 

The Government Printing Office looks forward to another year of 

service to the Congress and the Federal Departments, confident in the knowledge that the printing and binding demands--whatever they may be--will be met with 

promptness and certainty. We :tully expect to st~ abreast of the rapidly advancing technology which has character!,zed the printing industr,y in recent 

years, and employ such developments as h,ve applicability to our production and service responsibilities.

PRODUCTION DIVISIONS 

Printing and binding requirements for the Federal Government increased 

sharply during fiscal year 1966. The production units were hard-pressed to meet 

their burgeoning commitments with the equipment, manpower, and space available. 

Congressional Printing 

Fiscal 1966 was another year of increase in the congressional workload, 

with new highs being established in many categories. While the first session 

of the 89th Congress ended on October 2.31 1965, committee activity continued 

for the balance of the year, and the second session started with high-volume 

printing requirements immediately. 

The Congressional Record is our most important and our most consistently 

difficult assignment. Each night a session is held, every employee concerned 

with the production of the Record assumes a personal responsibility for 

accomplishing an on-time delivery. For fiscal year 1966 there were 19.3 issues, 

totaling .35,176 pages, with an average of 182.2 pages per issue. There were 

.3.3 issues of 256 or more pages, and the largest issue--which is also the largest 

issue ever printed--was that of October 22, containing 704 pages in .3 parts. 

The smallest for the year was that of February 261 1966, which made only eight 

pages. 

Bill work decreased from the exceptionally high totals of last year, 

since the large number of new bills introduced at the start of a new Congress 

occurs only every other year. The figures are exceptionally high for an off 

year and, in the second session, the prints become more complex; there are 

many more reported and amended bills. The .3-year comparisons are shown in 

the following table.

The Composing Division processed a total of 101442 folios this year 

as compared to 91 707 folios the previous year. The breakdown is as follows: 

Appendix, 8,669; Budget, 979; D. c. Budget, .376; Budget in Brief, 1.32; 

Special Analyses, 286. The Appendix made up into 11 306 pages--an increase 

of 45 pages over last year. The Budget (small book) made 449 pages, which 

was a decrease of 63 pages. The D. c. Budget increased to 72 pages from the 

64 pages of last year. 
-4-

A new publication this year was the Special Analyses, which consisted 

of 164 pages and cover. Part of this item was taken out of the Budget and incorporated with other analyses chapters, accounting for the decrease in 

pages of the Budget book. 

The Bureau of the Budget ordered 25 separate items. The breakdown 

consists of the Budget, Budget Appendix, D. c. Budget, Budget in Brief, 

combined book (Budget, part of Special Analyses, and Appendix), Special 

Analyses (plus 13 separates), 6 Messages of the President (3 for Budget and 

3 for D. c. Budget). 

Offset Division printed all of the Budget, Budget in Brief, Special 

Analyses (plus separates), covers for Appendix, D. c. Budget, and separates for Budget Messages. A total of 380,959 impressions were made. 

Letterpress Division printed the Budget Appendix and the D. c. Budget. A total of 1,487,271 impressions were made from 163 8~page forms and one 4-

page form for the Appendix and nine 8-page forms for the D. c. Budget. 

Production and delivery schedules were met as requested. 

Electronic Printing 

The Electronic Printing Production Unit produces composition through the use of the computer and tape~driven composing equipment. Experimental 

work is conducted in phototypesetting of computer~generated·data, and information is developed to enable Government Agencies to improve the quality of copy emanating trom automatic data-processing equipment. 

The Linofilm keyboards are used primarily to set manuscript that contains -eompJjcated mathematical equations. The Justowriter keyboards are used to perforate paper tape for input to the computer to create a justified paper tape for the Linofilm photographic units or the line-casting machines. The input and output converters are basically offline input and output devices for the computer, i.e., paper tape is converted to magnetic tape for feeding information into the computer, and magnetic tape produced by the computer is converted to paper tape to drive the appropriate piece of equipment. The Linofilm photographic units produce paper or film positives from paper tape which has been produced on the Linofilm keyboards, or paper tape which has been processed on the output converter from magnetic tape generated on a general-purpose computer.

As shown in the table, there were significant increases in some 

activities. The increase in the number of manufscript folios set on the 

Linofilm keyboards in fiscal year 1966 was accomplished with an increase of 

496.2 hours of direct labor over fiscal year 1965. This can be attributed to 

increased skill on the part of the operators as they became trained on the 

keyboard. 

There was an increase of work produced on the Linofilm photographic 

units. In fiscal years 1964 and 19651 there was one photographic unit in 

operation. In July of fiscal year 19661 four additional photographic units 

were leased primarily to produce the Defense "Technical Abstract Bulletinstt 

and the Commerce "U. s. Government Research and Development Reports 11 from 

furnished magnetic tape. 

In September of 196.5, the first issue of the Defense ttTechnical 

Abstract Bulletin" was produced from furnished magnetic tape, and we have 

continued to produce this semimonthly publication since. In December of 1965, 

the Commerce nu. s. Government Research and Development Reports" blue section 

was first produced on the Linofilm from furnished magnetic tape processed on 

our computer. These two publications present~d the most difficult production 

problems to date, but occasional computer problems are still encountered. 

The master magnetic tape file of the Library of Congress Subject 

Headings, Seventh Edition, was completed and corrected, all pages were made 

up, and the publication readied for press. The monthly Cumulative Supplements 

to the Subject Headings were produced by computer and Linofilm1 and this 

data was used to update the next edition of the Subject Headings.

BINDING DIVISION 

The workload in the Binder,r shows an overall increase, with abnormal 

increases in certain operations. Drilling, for example, was up 91 percent 

over fiscal year 1965; punching was up 108 percent; casemaking, up 31 percent; 

casing-in, up 39 percent; passports, up 32 percent, and folding, up 5 percent. 

The Blank Section and Cutting & Packing Section were merged into 

one section (now known as the Blank Section), and the Librar.y Binding Section 

and the Book Edition Section were consolidated into one section (now known 

as the Book Section). Lack of space continued as the major obstacle to the 

attaining of maximum efficiency in the Division.

The Composing Division was under heavy pressure the entire year, 

primarily because of increases in congressional and Patents work. The total 

measurable "ems" of composition increased 11.6 percent over 1965, while the 

hours required to set the type increased 14.5 percent. The slight drop in ~he average number of ems set per hour was due to the excessive hours put in 

,y the employees, together with the rather high turnover of personnel. The 
-7-

total number or pages or patents processed shows an increase or 53 percent 

over the last 2 years, with further increases anticipated. 

The operators in the Three typesetting units or the Composing Division, 

day and night, set 31 1271 973,500 ems of measurable composition during the past fiscal year. Comparison of production of the last 3 years is as follows:

The Federal Register for fiscal year 1965-66 amounted to 161 480 printed 

pages, for a daily average of 65-plus pages. This was a decrease of 11 290 

pages over fiscal year 1964-65. Statistics for the past 3 years are as follows:

· The total number of patents issued during this fiscal year was 

661 243, for an average issue of 11 274. This is an all-time high for a single 

year's work on patents. The first 9 months showed much higher average issues, 

but, due to the Commerce Department's budget deficiency, the issues trailed 

off for the last 3 months to only 11 150 patents per issue. 

The number of employees on the Composing Division rolls as of 

June 301 1966, was 1,590--14 more than last year. The following table shows 

comparative number of personnel for the past 3-year period:

The Division continues to be handicapped by a shortage of competent 

Monotype keyboard operators, resulting in considerable overtime hours to keep 

the workload at an acceptable level. This is a most critical area, and one 

that we have been unable·to resolve with any degree of success. The Apprentice 

Program is helping. Yet, in order to give the apprentice a well-rounded 

apprenticeship, we must refrain from keeping him on the keyboard for a toolong period. And then, of course, there are those who simply do not have the 

aptitude to qualifY as operators. 

The Government Printing Office Style Board, charged with the 

responsibility of revising and maintaining the Style Manual, has been completely 

reorganized. During the preceding year, the Chairman of the Board retired. 

A new Chairman was appointed and the Board was expanded by adding, for the 

first time, a member from the Patents Section. 

At present, the Board is working on a revision of the Style Manual, 

the first since 1959, and every effort is being made to insure that the Manual 

will continue to merit the high respect it has always enjoyed among editors, 

librarians, and the graphic arts industry. 

LETTERPRESS DIVISION 

Letterpress activities remained fairly steaqy during the year. The 

increased congressional activities tended to offset decreases in departmental 

work. The specialty work and work that is printed directly from type 

continued to form the backbone of the Division's work. 

The following table will provide a breakdown of type forms imposed 

for Letterpress over the past 3 years:

It will be noted that the number of forms imposed for the foundr,y continues to drop. The majority of plate forms run in Letterpress are printed from stored plates. On the other hand, the number of Document forms printed from type has increased substantially over the past 2 years.

The Division's precision-forms program has undergone extensive 

changes in the manner of preparation as well as production. For years, it 

was difficult to achieve and maintain the accuracy and tolerance required. Now, a master matrix has been created on a negative. The negative is then 

used to ultimately produce type 30 Dycril plates, which are printed on wrap- around rotar,y presses. 

Envelope presses ran approximately 250 million envelopes during the 

past year. This was done mainly by manning the presses on three shifts to 

avoid excessive overtime. 

During 1966, 18 letterpresses were removed as obsolete. Four were 

replaced under the Office modernization program, resulting in a net loss of 

14 presses. 

Letterpress Division personnel have continued to decline, from 474 

in 1965 to 448 in 19661 which is in consonance with the continuing increase 

in offset printing. 

OFFSET DIVISION 

The workload in the Offset Division leveled off to some extent over 

prior years, with only a few areas showing increases. The Copy Preparation Section records indicate a 14.4 percent increase in the number of commercial 

jackets processed, with ~ decrease of 4.2 percent in the number of plant jackets. The number of offset negatives made in the Offset Negative Section 

decreased by 6.2 percent from fiscal year 1965. The number of plates made 

also dropped by 1.3 percent. The number of forms put to press increased by 2.6 percent and the total press impressions were up 5.5 percent over the 

prior year.

The increase in personnel represents almost whol~ the additional 

trainees placed in the Copy Preparation, Negative, and Plate Section. 

In September a complete process pin register system was first used in 

production of the "Technical Abstract Bulletin" for the General Services 

Administration. Composition was produced by the Linofilm Division in galley form. The pin register system provides for punching holes in precise pre- determined position on galley positives to expedite page makeup, plate imposition, and press makeready. This system has proven most successful. 

Considerable time is also saved in the camera and plate room. The system is 

now being enlarged to include other jobs. 
-12-

Experimentation with dr,y offset plates has been ver.y promising. The 

1966 GSA Yearl1 Calendars were produced on the two-color offset press using 

commercially procured relief plates. The 1967 calendars are being produced 

on the same equipment with magnesium plates processed in the Platemaking 

Division. 

PLATEMAKING DIVISION 

Several organizational changes and space consolidations were effected 

in the Platemaking Division during the year, partly to consolidate the platemaking activities due to the continued drop in platemaking requirements and 

partl1 to make space available for the installation of the Linotron. The day 

shift in the Stereotype Section was discontinued and the personnel were 

assigned to the two late shifts, in order to effect maximum utilization of 

personnel.

During the year there was a 14 percent reduction in the number of 

employees in the Division. This loss was due to nine retirements, four transfers, 

three resignations, and one death, with but two replacements. The total of 

employees on the rolls at the end of the fiscal year 1966 was 92 1 compared 

with 107 in 1965 and 113 in 1964. This loss represents a 20 percent reduction 

in the Electrotype Section, a 10 percent reduction in Stereotype, and a 5 

percent loss in Photoengraving. 

A proposal for the automation of reporting of reproducibles held 

in storage is under study. This proposal would eliminate manual reporting by the Central Reporting Unit of the Plate Vault Unit on each requisition received. 

When installed and in operation, a computer will report the latest information 

available to Planning Service and should speed up this operation. 

LIBRARY BRANCH OFFICE 

Letterpress production of catalog cards for 1966 increased 28 percent, from 311 422,664 to 40,146,805. Titles received increased 19 percent, from 

182,474 to 2181 0111 and titles set increased from 1921 551 to 2141 852, or 

12 percent. Overprinting of combination subject headings and call numbers 

'ncreased 8 percent, from 1,973,175 to 2,126,369. In December 1965, printing 
-13-

of proofsheets by letterpress was discontinued and this class of work was 

transferred to offset. Job work printed by letterpress showed a considerable 

decrease due to an increasing amount of this work being produced by offset. 

The number of titles processed by the offset method decreased from 

755,840 to 665,980 and the number of press forms decreased from 75,584 to 

66,598. Offset press impressions increased from 5,380,616 to 61 2131 2001 or 

15 percent, and cards printed increased from 53,806,160 to 62,1321 000. The 

average press run offset per form increased from 71 to 93 1 or an increase of 

31 percent• Total press impressions for all classes of offset work increased 

78 percent, from 6,850,476 to 121193,8281 and total copies printed from 61,417,669 

to 731 2911 351, an increase of 19 percent. 

Since t.he main function of the Branch is the production of catalog 

cards, it is of particular interest to note that, for the third consecutive 

year, catalog card production has increased, with each year being an all-time 

high, as followsg

DELIVERY SECTION 

The count of individual shipments for the year amounted to 3121 154 

items. Deliver,r requirements varied all the way from a single package to six 

or more skids of work. This figure represents an increase of 31 205 items 

above last year's report. Fleet mileage increased 21,152 miles, for a total 

figure of 305,549. Despite this increase, our accident frequency figure dropped from 14.03 to 13.09. Requests for pickup service increased from 

4, 713 to 51 1021 a difference of 389. 'fhe following table gives a 3-year comparison on these subjects:

Accident Frequency* 

* The fleet accident rate equals reportable accidents times 1001 000 divided 

by the number of actual vehicle miles. 

Along with the general increase in workload, a factor in the increased 

mileage and delivery items is the present policy of the Departments in requiring additional delivery stops. In past years a great many such stops were serviced 

by the customer as part of their internal distribution, after our initial 

delivery to their warehouse. Deliveries are now made to subunits throughout the area, in addition to deliveries to warehouses. Many new stops are 

completely lacking in suitable platform facilities for anything resembling bulk delivery. 

The present number of employees is 75. In the 2 years preceding this report, there were 72 and 68, respectively. Of the present group, 58 are 

assigned to Shift 1 and 17 to Shift 3. The gradual increase in personnel has been necessary in order to man equipment full time that had previously been in the category of standby. 

PLANNING DIVISIONS 

Division of Planning Service 

In fiscal year 1966, the Planning Service Division received a 

combined total of 130,624 requisitions and print orders--approximatelY 7.2 

percent more than the 121,899 received in fiscal year 19651 and 13.5 percent 

more than the 1121 977 received in fiscal year 1964. As a consequence of the 

increase in orders received in 1966, the volume of service and liaison work 

required of the Planning Service Division was proportionately increased. 
-15-

Despite the substantial increase in orders received and supporting 

activities, the Division was able to accomplish such additional work with the 

same number of employees it had in fiscal years 1965 and 1964.

While the above tabulation shows an overall increase in the total 

number of requisitions and print orders received, it is interesting to note tha~ we are on a continuing trend of receiving fewer requisitions and more 

print orders. This points out that there is necessarily an increased activity 

in the area of commercial procurement, since most of the print orders were 

placed with private firms under contract to this Office for various programs 

of printing. 

Planning Service, in conjunction with Production and Accounts, has 

attended many meetings to explore the feasibility of installing an electronically automated reproducible inventory-control system. The matter has been 

firmed up and a request for the purchase of the necessary equipment has been 

forwarded through channels by the Division of Accounts. 
-16-

A review of all in-house Print Order Programs of long standing is 

presently being conducted. These Programs are being updated to renect current 

requirements and procedures. A panel, consisting of a representative of 

Planning Service, Plant Planning, and the Production Manager's office, has been 

appointed to handle this project. The work should be completed within the 

next few months. 

Division of Plant Planning 

In fiscal year 1966, the Plant Planning Division prepared a total of 

34,994 regular and print-order jackets--approximately 3.6 percent less than 

the 36,294 prepared in fiscal year 1965, and 6.4 percent less than the 371 385 

prepared in fiscal year 1964. As a result of the decrease in the number of 

jackets prepared--the controlling factor in the Division's principal activities--there was a more or less proportionate decrease in the number of 

production plans developed, formal estimates made, and jackets scheduled. 

However, as has been pointed out in the Division's report, such minor decreases 

or like increases are normal variations from year to year, in that orders are 

accepted for in-plant production on the basis of the volume of work which they represent in relation to the production capabilities of the plant, rather than 

the number of orders involved.

In our supplemental activities, there was an increase of approximately 12 percent in the number of "open" jackets prepared in 1966 as compared to 

1965 and 1964. This indicates that the Departments are making greater use 

of the less complicated "print order" for requisitioning certain kinds of 

repetitive work, thereby saving considerable time and expense for themselves 

and some measure of the same for us. 

In July 1965, the Joint Committee on Printing directed that the 

standard shade of white offset paper be changed from cream-white to bright- white. With the making of such a change in the paper most used in Government, 

we were raced with the enormous task of controlling the use of the many 

different sizes and weights of both the old and new shades of paper to (1) dispose of the former as soon as possible, and (2) avoid mixing the two 

shades in a single publication, which, if done, would not only detract from 

the appearance of the publication but could result in a complaint from the 

ordering Department. The enormity of this task can best be realized by calling attention to the fact that when the change was made there were 

approximately 12 million pounds of the old paper in our Washington and 

Franconia warehouses and 9 million pounds on order--2 million pounds in 

various commercial contractors' plants and 6.5 million pounds in our three rese~e warehouses. With the full cooperation of Production, Purchases, and 

the ·individual contractors, practically all but 2 million pounds of this paper have been utilized without any cust,omer complaints. 

D!_ vision of Typography & Design 

This Division provides a personal service to representatives of all 

Government Agencies through conferences held at the Government Printing Office 

on specifications, format, typography, and artwork to meet the Agencies' requirements in providing layouts, designs, and finished art as ordered. 

The total number of jackets processed declined, but the number of 

jobs received from Scheduling for color approval increased by 15 percent. This is due almost entirely to the increase in the use of color by the 

ordering Agencies. The number of layout sketches declined, but this is 

offset by a new operation class for d~ pages pasted. Some of this d~ 

pasting was formerly included in layouts because there was no separate charge for it. The decline in the number of finished pieces produced by the Photographic Section is due to the in~reased use of Xerox machines throughout the 

Office. 

The Public Printer~s continued interest in this service has been a 

major factor in maintaining the high level of activity. Many Departments and Agencies are now coming to u3 with increasing frequency for help with 

their printing~design problemso This is especially so with the smaller 

Bureaus and Agencies.

As part of our regular work, this Division was concerned with the 

printing of a number of important or unusual books or programs which should 

have special mention: 

Public Papers of the Presidents, Har~ s. Truman, 1950 and 1951. These were 

the sixth and seventh volumes of this series to be completed. The 1950 volume 

contained 908 pages and the 1951 volume 790 pages. Both were printed on 50% 

rag antique paper and bound in dark gray cloth with stamping in blue and gold. 

Public P~ers of the Presidents, Lyndon B. Johnson, 1963-64. This was the 

first volume of this series to be produced. However, the amount of copy was 

so great that it was necessary to divide the material into two books. The 

first book contained 11 020 pages and the second book 1 1 048 pages. They were 

printed on 50% rag English-finish paper and bound in green cloth with stamping in dark green and gold. 

1965 Yearbook of Agriculture. The title of the book was "Consumers All 1

11 and 

the text discussed the many facets of buying, using, or making food, clothing, household furnishings, caring for homes, staying healthy, etc. The Division 

of Typography and Design was responsible for the format of the entire book 

and all the necessary artwork. The book was printed by letterpress web on 

90-lb. English-finish paper and contained 512 pages. The cloth of the crossbinding was printed by offset in red, blue, and yellow, and then varnished. 

Poisonous and Venomous Marine Animals of the World, Volume 1. The foreword 

calls this 11 a complete survey of a broad field of science dating back to the 

i.awn of history." This monumental scientific work required 20 years' research, 

Hith contributions coming from many foreign governments. The book comprises 
-19-

1,032 pages and contains 275 four-color-process illustrations and 322 black 

halftone and line illustrations. The reproducibles for the illustrations 

were transparencies, full-color paintings, pen-and-ink drawings, airbrush 

paintings, and black-and-white photographs. Most of these illustrations were 

extremely valuable and, in some cases, were the only ones in existence. Typograp~ Design developed the complete format for the book and controlled 

all phases of production for quality. The presswork was procured commercially, 

the composition and binding done at GPO. The book was casebound in naturalfinish light-blue linen, printed in dark blue, and stamped in gold. 

Reports of General MacArthur--MacArthur in Japan--The Occupation--Milit~ 

Phase, Volume I Supplement. The reproducibles for this job were Japanese 

negatives for the color maps, stereotype mats for the text, photographs and 

copper engravings for the black-and-white illustrations. The colors for the 

26 maps were reduced from a maximum of 11 to 6 by combining colors, and the 

map pages were arranged in the signatures so that colors would be restricted 

to one side of the press sheet. The copper engravings were converted to 

offset by Scotch Prints. Production and quality control by Typograp~ Design. 

GPO checked press sheets at contractor's plant. Casebound in medium-red 

buckram and stamped in gold. 

The Capitol. This was the fourth edition of this 120-page, 1~ x 14" magazine. 

The theme and general purpose of the publication was changed radically from 

previous printings. This required complete new layouts for most of the pages 

and resulted in several sets of page proofs before an OK was obtained. This 

Division worked in close harmony with the Staff Director of the Joint Committee 

on Printing in order to satisfy the wishes of the various congressional committ~es involved. Printing was done commercially. 

Internal Revenue Service Tax Forms for 1965. Redesigned by a New York 

advertising agencr,y. Converted to practical typefaces by Typograp~ Design, 

which instigated the purchase of a variety of news-gothic fonts by the Government Printing Office. After approval of Form 1040, the Internal Revenue 

Service requested a revision of the forms for the entire 1966 tax program 

to conform to the new design. Of the 99 or more t,ax forms, Typography Design 

redesigned 45, with an average of 3 to 5 pages per form. The balance of the 

forms will be redesigned next year. 

Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents. Published every Monday, 

containing statements, messages, and other Presidential materials released 

by the 'White House up to 5 p.m. Friday of each week. Completely designed by Typograp~ Design. ~ x 1111 letterpress web on 100-lb. English-finish paper. 

Co ilation of Works of Art in u.s. Ca itol. An elaborate 7-7/8 x 10-1/4" 

casebound book of 2 pages. Casing was blue box Fabricoid with blank 

stamping, red ink, and gold stamping. Text was printed on 140-lb. litho 

coated. There were 526 illustrations, using 150-line screen. Typography Design 

was greatly restricted in the fo~t for each page in that no cropping was 

allowed for most of the illustrat~ons. A-1 quality control was maintained 

throughout production.

DIVISION OF PERSONNEL 

This Division is charged riith advising the Public Printer, and his 

starr, on personnel matters and with the effective administration of the 

personnel program within the framework of law, Civil Service rules and 

regulations, and the policies of the Public Printer. 

Employment rose during the past fiscal year, with 71 073 full-time 

employees reported on the rolls as of June 301 1966. In addition, the Office 

WAE staff was slightlY larger with 537 employees. This compares with a 

reported 61 993 full-time employees and 527 WAE employees in 1965. 

Position classification rose from a previous high of 704 in 1965 to 

876 for the fiscal year. 

In March of 1966 the Division of Personnel was reorganized, creating 

a new Personnel Relations and Administrative Services Branch composed of the 

Employee-Management Relations Section, the Employee Relations Section, and 

the Administrative Services Section. Under the new organization, the Employee- Management Relations Section, the Administrative Services Section, and the 

Employee Relations Section were placed under the direct supervision of the 

Chief, Personnel Relations and Administrative Services Branch. 

One of the most significant events which occurred during the year 

was the granting of exclusive recognition to Federal Printing Workers' Union 

No. 713. This Union is composed entirely of non~journeyman blue-collar workers, 

and has a membership of 1100. 

Agreements were entered into with Columbia Typographical Union 

No. 101; the American Federation of Government Employees Lodge 1248; Washington Printing Pressmen's Union No. l; Journeymen Bookbinders Union No. 4; and 

American Federation of Government Employees Lodge No. 2487. 

ApproximatelY 4,120 employees received influer~a inoculations. 

An intensive United States Savings Bond Campaign was conducted, which 

resulted in an increase of 19~percent employee participation. Actual 

percentage of participation was increased to 72.9 percent. 

The Christmas Open-House program proved to be a continuing attraction, with 21 628 employees and members of their families visiting Harding Hall on this occasion. 

During the year, 347 tours were conducted in the Office for 1,459 visitors who were associated with the printing i.ndustry. 

A number of special studies were undertaken and completed during the year. Among them were recommendations for pay increases for nonjourneymen, diversified hourly rated employees, pay recommendations for supervisory 
-21-

positions related to nonjourneymen, and proposals for revision of p~ 

schedules for Field Service offices. This program represents another step toward achievement of pay comparability with other Agencies. 

Training programs were developed for advancement to Offset Stripper, 

Offset Platema.ker-Stripper, and Offset PhotographerJ Cylinder Pressman and 

Offset PressmanJ BookbinderJ Stereo-ElectrotyperJ and Journeyman in the 

Engineering Division. 

DIVISION OF FINANCE AND ACCOUNTS 

The Division of Finance and Accounts is responsible for the overall 

financial management and supporting or related services. This includes 

accounting,~~ budgeting, auditing, 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.

In October 1965, an IBM System )60/40 computer was acquired on a 

rental basis to replace one of our two IBM model 1460 computers. This system provided additional processing time required for linofilm photocomposition and 

expanded business-type applications. A raised floor was installed in the ~omputer room to eliminate cables lying on the floor connecting the machines, 

simplif.y floor cleaning, promote safety and efficiencr,y tn operations, and

in fiscal year 1965 to $175,878,649 in fiscal year 1966, . 

The Scale of Prices was completely revised, effective December 11 196$, 

Rates were adjusted to conform to current coat, 

A system was developed for the computer to print monthly and 

cumulative reports showing the charges by ordering source for congressional 

printing and binding. These reports are now being furnished monthly to all 

congressional committees. 

As a result of a joint effort between the Post Office Department and 

the Government Printing Office, a program to control the direct shipment of 

postal cards and aerogrammes to 50 selected destinations has been automated. 

Orders are received from approximately 101 000 post offices and consolidated 

into predetermined shipping manifests. In addition, labels for product shipment, 

motor-truck loading factors, daily, monthly, and fiscal cumulative inventories 

in reporting production, stock valuation, and activity by item and billing 

factors have been incorporated into the system. 

Approximately- 50 computer programs were written to meet the requirements 

of new work and 78 modified to meet significant changing conditions, such as 

the addition of State tax, Combined Federal Campaign deductions, union dues, 

and a new formula for computing Federal income taxes. This latter requirement 

made it necessar,y to obtain a new W4 form from each employee of the Office. 

A statistical report on the procurement of Marginally Punched 

Continuous Forms by all Government Agencies was developed for the Purchasing 

Division. Approximately 11 000 orders each month are processed to develop 

this requirement. 

Savings in transportation costs increased approximately 8 percent 

this fiscal year over the previous fiscal year in spite of a 19-percent 

reduction in the tonnage of freight from outside printing contractors delivered 

to the Government Printing Office for consolidation. 

PURCHAS:rnG DIVISION 

The Purchasing Division is responsible for all of the contracting 

activities of the Government Printing Office. These include the procurement 

of all operating supplies and equipment, the procurement of printing and 

binding from commercial sources, the disposal of surplus property, and the 

procurement of warehousing space and transportation facilities, 

The Division is also responsible for the operation of the telephone 

and communication services for the Office and its storage and warehousing 

facilities, 
~23-

The value of our procurement activity during fiscal year 1966 was 

$1131 342,635.15. This represents an increase of $25,654,573.55 over the 

previous fiscal year. The procurement of commercial printing increased 

$18,361,448.18.

in the previous fiscal year and paid in the present year. 

Paper purchased by the pound during fiscal year 1966 totaled 2061 028,122 

pounds. This represented an increase of 5,7811 821 pounds above the poundage 

purchased in the previous fiscal year. The heavy increase in envelope procurement reflects increased congressional activity during an election year.

Paper prices showed a sharp increase during the first quarter of 

fiscal year 1966, with a gradual leveling off f,or the last three quarters. 

There was a cumulative price increase of lOoh percent for the entire fiscal 

year. 

The average biweekly paper inventory d~ring the year was 391 9381 220 

pounds. This figure includes approximately 3,534,449 pounds in the plants 

of commercial printers but does not include an average of approximately 

3,864,709 pounds on hand awaiting release by the Division of Tests or the 

amount in emergency storage. 
-24-

1171 906 tons of paper were handled by the Stores Section. This was 

made up of 31 172 freight cars and 1,911 truckloads. 

As of the end of the fiscal year, we had on hand, in emergency 

storage, approximately 141 6051 164 pounds of paper. 

The high point in our paper inventor,y of 46,292,783 pounds occurred 

during September 27-0ctober 8, 1965, and the low point of 33,806,594 pounds occurred during July 5-July 16, 1965. These figures do not include the 

quantity of paper in emergency storage. 

The Office was converted to direct-in dialing on April 16, 1966, thereby enabling persons outside of the Office to dial a desired extension 

without going through the switchboard. This has enabled us to eliminate one 

telephone operator position. 

'70,3~ printing jobs were procured during the fiscal year. These 

consisted of 13,314 jobs procured by individual bidding, including 11 175 

obtained by Field Service and 55,907 jobs procured on ter.m contracts. 

Sales through salvage operations consisted of 211 775,469 pounds of 

waste paper, 410,650 pounds of scrap iron, 598,504 pounds of scrap-type metal 

and dross, and 13,603 pounds of scrap photographic film. 

Outgoing local telephone calls amounted to 282,940 message units. 

No record was kept of long=distance message units, as practically all long- distance calls were placed over the Federal Telecommunications System. 

ENGINEERING DIVISION 

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

buildings, machiner,y, and equipment of the Government Printing Office in the 

best possible condition in order that public printing can be produced most 

efficiently.

The number of service calls and job orders continue a slight downward 

trend, probably caused by the increase in yearly job orders which are issued 

for preventive maintenance and repetitive type jobs. The purpose of this 

preventive maintenance is to be able to schedule maintenance to fit in with 

production requirements and to repair the equipment before it breaks down.

All of our utilities increased last year, with the exception of gas. This slight reduction in the use of gas probably resulted from the improved metal pot burners installed last year. 

The wide fluctuation in the number of accidents from year to year 

was one of the undesirable characteristics of our previous Safety Program. 

The objective of the new Safety Program, approved M~ 311 1966, is 

to provide more effective manpower utilization and reduce costs by identifying and eliminating hazardous situations that result in personal injury and property damage accidents. When the objectives of this program are realized, it is 

expected that the fluctuations will level off and we will experience a gradual decrease in the total number of accidents.

Accident costs will be increased by approximatelY 300 percent beginning with the 1967 fiscal year, due to Public Law 89-488, approved July 4, 1966. Under this act, maximum benefits are increased from $525.00 to 

$1,397.81 per month, and minimum benefits are increased from $180.00 to 

$238.37. There are additional benefits for employees who have been retired 

because of total disability that will further increase compensation costs. 

The slight reduction in personnel from 433 in 1965 to 427 in 1966 

was caused by the large number of retirements preceding December 311 1965, 

and our difficulty in finding suitable replacements. This total includes six 

employees in the summer youth programs. 

The largest single job during the past fiscal year was the moving and remodeling required to accommodate our Electronic Printing Production Unit 

m the second floor of Building 1. This job involved moving various units in 

the Binding, Composing, Platemaking1 and Offset Divisions. Several offices 

and workrooms were constructed for this new unit, and a special air-conditioning 
-26-

~stem was installed to provide closely controlled temperature and humidity for the new computer equipment. Ever,y section in the Engineering Division 

was involved in this job, and close cooperation between the Engineering sections, 

as well as the Production sections, resulted in the job being completed well 

within both the time and cost estimates. 

The Engineering staff made an extensive study on the practicability 

of' automatic handling of' paper between the Warehouse and Building 3. Tentative 

specifications were prepared, and two large material-handling firms gave us 

rough estimates. 

The Division also worked with representatives from Production and 

Accounts to examine the possibility of using gravure printing for our postal 

card operation. 

Specifications and drawings are being prepared for a new baling 

system which we hope to have installed this year. 

We hope to alleviate the Government Printing Office's trash disposal problems during the coming year by leasing a Tru:xmore type packer truck to be 

stationed in our north alley. Approximately forty 1-yard and 2-yard trash 

containers will be purchased for use by the sections that generate an 

appreciable amount of trash. These containers, when filled, will be taken to 

the packer truck, dumped automatically, and returned to the section. We will 

not require storage space in the alley for these containers, nor depend on 

twice-a-day pickup by a packer truck as in our present system. 

DIVISION OF TESTS AND TECHNICAL CONTROL 

The Division of' Tests and Technical Control 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 materials used by the Office. It writes specifica- tions for the procurement of materials which are best suited to the requirements of' the processes, and aids in the solution of technical problems incident to 

plant operations.

21 of bookbinding cloth, and 13 of miscellaneous materials. 

Ink manufacture for 1966 includes letterpress, offset, stamp pad, toning blue, numbering machine, and mimeograph inks. In addition, several 

stock nonprinting inks and miscellaneous materials were produced in the Ink 

Section, including canceling, check signature, plastic surfaces, instrument 

recording, letter-box time card, ruling, and writing inks.

In view of the many improvements and advancements in the technology of the paper indust~, we have spent considerable time in revising the fourth 

edition of the Government Paper Specification Standards, and the fifth edition 

will be issued effective August 1, 1966. 

A total of 65 colored ink formulations have been developed for 

printing the proposed new Ink and Color Book. All of these inks are designed 

to be printed by the offset process. 

Three special light-fast and weather-resistant inks were developed for printing the various outdoor posters and signs that are placed in the 

National Forests by the Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture. 

A number of additional special inks were developed for printing jackets requiring unusual or particular characteristics. A notable example 

was the 19 colors developed for printing the Guided Missile Color Code 

Training Charts. 

A new postal card lavender ink was developed for printing the new 1.uminescent tagged postal cards. This new ink became necessa~ when the Post 

Jffice Department specified higher luminescent signal levels than had been 

obtained in the previous experimental printing of the tagged postal cards. 
-28-

The Office was, therefore, able to comply with the recent request of the Post 

Office Department that all future orders for postal cards be filled with 

cards printed with the luminescent tagged ink. 

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 mailing services for certain publications distributed by members of 

Congress and other Government Agencies.

Every effort has been made to bring the part-time W.A.E. work force to 

.ruaximum strength. This has proved the most effective method available for 

keeping the workload in all Division programs as nearly current as possible.

The number of full-time employees as of June 301 1966, includes all of the 

temporary summer help and, thus, is not typical of the personnel picture 

during the greater portion of the year.

All personnel engaged in handling subscription-type publications have 

been placed under the administrative jurisdiction of the Mail List Section, 

to provide better control of this rapidly growing work program• 

Greater efficiency in the processing of subscriptions, which are 

included as part of orders calling also for nonsubscription publications, has 

been achieved by the inauguration of an abstracting system whereby they can 

now be handled simultaneously with otbtr parts of the order. A Bruning Copier 

has been installed to facilitate this operation, and to avoid the excessive 

amount of typing that would otherwise be required. These improvements have 

reduced the volume of complaints about a difficult type of order. 

A double~header Dick Strip Addresser installed in the Mail List 

Jection has doubled production; with a comparable saving of time, in the 

addressing of labels for the daily mailing of the Commerce Business Daily. 

Consolidation of our inventory of sales publications into a single 

warehouse, located conveniently at 1111 North Capitol Street, was begun in 

December 1965, and is progressing satisfactorily on schedule. This will 

make possible a new and improved system of inventory control, which will 

result in better control over the movement of stock, and will also provide 

a clearer picture of the sales inventor,r beneral1y. 

As part of the program of improving the service of the Office to the 

public, the main Bookstore is now open every Saturday for 4 hours, from 9 a.m. 

to 1 p.m. This service began in January 1966. Weekday hours are 8 a.m. to 

4 p.m. 

Three highly successful displays and special sales of Gove~ent 

publications were conducted during the year. The activities in which this 

participation was effective were the World Conference on Peace Through Law, 

the National Library Week commemoration at the Pentagon, and the Sixth 

International Philatelic Exhibition. 

The unprecedented growth of the subscription order operation continued 

during fiscal year 1966. Work volume has more than doubled since 1960. Two 

of the largest subscriptions showed significant increases in number of 

subscribers, 11 0ur Public Lands," from ao,ooo to 109,000, and "Federal 

ommunications Commission Rules and Regulations, Vol. 6," from 1861 000 to 

292,361. Arrangements were made to provide expiration notices for the latter 
-30-

publication in the form of I.B.M. punchcards. By this method, renewals can 

be sorted automatically with a saving of many man-hours. 

Plans for an additional branch Bookstore in the new Department 

of State building in Washington, D.c., are underway, with the opening scheduled 

within the coming fiscal year. 

Also in the planning stage is an experimental branch Bookstore in 

Chicago, Ill., which we hope to have in operation about Januar,y 11 1967. 

A committee has been established within the Division to stu~ the 

possible use of electronic data processing equipment to provide statistics 

relating to our sales stock and inventor,y1 as required. We shall also continue 

to explore other possibilities for use in programs of the Documents Division 

of the services of the Electronic Data Processing Section of the Division of 

Finance and Accounts. 

FIELD SERVICE DIVISION 

The office of the Superintendent of Field Service is responsible for 

direct administrative control over all activities of the six Government 

'rinting Office Field and Departmental Service Offices located in Chicago, 

Denver, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.c. Th~se plants 

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

procurement of printing, to over 200 department and field installations of the 

u.s. Government throughout the contiguous United States and Alaska. 

The Post Office Department became the largest customer of the Field 

Service Division in fiscal year 1966, increasing their printing and binding 

requirements by approximately $140,000 over the previous fiscal year. Much 

of this amount was caused by increased activity in printing Zip Code directories 

and Schedules of Mail Routes in the Chicago, Denver, and San Francisco Field 

Service Offices and the Departmental Service Office. The Department of the 

Interior, our previous largest customer, also increased its requirements, but 

only by $131 0001 and became No. 2.

Previous reports outlined the difficulties encountered in getting 

the new building for the relocation of the Departmental Service Office under 

construction. Bids were finally opened on December 171 1965, and the contract 

awarded to Merando1 Inc., on Februar,y 21 1966. The schedule calls for 

completion of the building by Februar.y 131 1967, unless construction problems 

are encountered that justif,r extension of completion date. In anticipation 

of the move, modernization reports for equipment to be located at the new site 

have been submitted and other premove planning is in progress. 

The expansion of our Denver Field Service Office into an additional 

101 000 square feet of space and renovations for necessar.y security areas to 

handle classified work was completed on schedule in September 1965. 

The biennial conference of Field Service Office Managers was 

conducted in the Central Office during the week of June 6-101 1966. Similar 

to previous conferences, the Managers and Chief, Departmental Service Office, 

met with officials and personnel of the Central Office for discussions 

concerning the ~ phases of their activity, and the relationships thereto 

with corresponding activities in the various divisions of the GPO Central 

Office. Plant tours of the Central Office and the Departmental Service Office 

were conducted, as well as a visit with the Staff Director of the Joint Committee 

on Printing. 

DISBURSING OFFICE 

The Office of the Disbursing Officer is responsible and accountable 

for the collection and disbursement of all cash items, neeessar,r to the conduct 

of Government Printing Office business.

&udden drop at the end of the fiscal year. This is a fluctuating phase, 
-32-

which can rise or fall suddenly, due to the publicity or popularity of a 

publication, or the needs and demands of the public. 

The Disbursing Office is staffed with 39 full-time employees, and 

58 part-time employees. This compares with 36 full-time and 43 part-time 

employees in 1965. 

Government Printing Office Relocation 

Government Printing Office relocation plans received a serious 

setback when the National Capital Planning Commission rescinded its approval 

of the 85 acres of land at the National Training School for Boys as a site 

for the new building. This action followed approval by the Joint Committee 

on Printing in March of the Public Printer's proposal to accept the National 

Training School property for relocation. 

Since the approval of alternate sites was largely unsettled, the 

Public Printer requested that the Congressional Appropriation Committees not 

consider at the time of the hearings the acquisition-of-site and constructionof-building portion of the Government Printing Office's budget. He urged that 

these Committees not construe his request as implying that the Government ~rinting Office's need to relocate was any less acute. The Office is continuing 

~o search for appropriate sites within the metropolitan Washington area. 

When such a site is found, the Public Printer will renew his efforts to 

relocate the Government Printing Office to a new facility designed and 

engineered to meet its peculiar needs. 

It has been estimated that over $3 million could be saved annually, 

in reducing the cost of materials handling, by operating in a building 

functionally designed for printing and binding operations. At present all 

paper must be elevator moved in our 9-stor,r buildings. In addition, all 

paper arriving by rail or truck at our warehouse annex must be elevator 

lowered to a tunnel under North Capitol Street and then raised as many as 

6 floors to press areas. 

Although a few members of the commercial printing industry object 

to the Public Printer's proposal to relocate, it is most interesting to note 

that a significant number of the most progressive printing establishments 

have alreaqy moved from antiquated multi-story establishments to buildings 

which confine materials handling to a single level, from receipt of paper by 

freight car or truck, through storage, printing, binding, and delivery of 

finished work.
