PREFACE 

The Annual Report of the Public Printer is prepared and submitted 

to Congress at the opening of the legislative process. This report 

contains information on all major activities, in a brief narrative 

form, and an appendix with statistical information and data on the 

financial condition of the Government Printing Office. 

Several organizational changes were made in Fiscal Year 1974. The 

Planning Department was retitled Customer· Service Department to more 

aptly describe its primary function. The Tests and Technical Control 

Service was retitled Quality Control and Technical Department and 

was transferred from Management and Administration to the Operations 

Department. 

Income from both printing and binding and Public Documents sales 

increased; the former was $366.1 million in Fiscal Year 1974 compared 

with $291.7 million in FY 73, while documents sales for FY 74 totaled 

$34.3 million compared with $23.7 million the previous fiscal year. 

Commercially-procured printing and binding continued to rise, reaching 

$222.5 million in Fiscal Year 1974, compared with $165.7 million in 

FY 73. Continued implementation of the Federal Printing Program is 

the prime reason for this increase. 

A 105.1 percent increase in Blank Paper and Envelope costs can be 

attributed to major price escalations even though GPO purchased less 

than 11 percent more paper than in the previous year, while quantities 

of envelopes purchased decreased 29.1 percent. Overall tonnage 

increased more than 12 percent. 

Public Documents, operating as a separate entity for the first time, 

underwent reorganization and some relocation. Preparation was begun 

for a Depository Library micropublishing project, and a program manager 

hired. Three ~ore bookstores were opened -- in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; 

Seattle, Washington; and Jacksonville, Florida -- bringing to 24 the 

total number of retail outlets. In addition, a temporary bookstore 

was established at EXPO '74 in Spokane, Washington. 

IV 
STAFF ACTIVITIES 

Office of General Counsel 

The General Counsel is the chief legal officer of the Government 

Printing Office and is responsible for providing legal services primarily in the areas of legislation, business and commercial law, torts, 

personnel actions, labor-management relations, litigation, claims, 

and investigations. 

In discharging this responsibility the Office of the General Counsel 

(i) provides all legal services relating to the procurement and disposal 

of all real and personal property, including determination and settlement of disputed procurement and other contracts and claims, (ii) drafts 

and comments on all legislation affecting the Office, (iii) investigates 

torts claims and proves their disposition, (iv) determines the legality 

of existing and proposed internal instructions, policies and practices, 

(v) provides hearing examiners for adverse action appeals and grievances 

processed under internal Government Printing Office procedures, (vi) provides agency representatives for internal Equal Employment Opportunity 

complaints and investigators in such complaints originating in other 

Federal agencies, and effects settlements of Equal Employment Opportunity 

matters, (vii) acts as legal advisor to agency representatives in adverse 

action appeals and hearings convened by the Civil Service Commission, 

(viii) prepares litigation reports for use by U.S. attorneys in court 

cases, (ix) furnishes services of attorneys to act on Government Printing Office Contract Appeals Board, and (x) reviews and coordinates union 

contract matters. 

Additional attorney staff members have been added to keep up with the 

ever increasing caseload. 

During the year the Office of General Counsel received over 500 written 

requests for formal legal opinions, in addition to over 600 requests for 

informal opinions. Approximately 321 written legal opinions were issued 

in 1974. 

The areas of the op1n1ons ran the gamut from claims to court cases. 

They included opinions concerning Congressional inquiries, proposed 

legislation, depository libraries, EEO complaints, labor-management 

relations and contracts, wages, grievances, adverse actions, security 

matters, GPO regulations, etc. 

A substantial amount of the work involved the myriad of problems in 

connection with the vast amount of procurement contracts entered into 

and processed during the year, including assignments, bankruptcies, IRS 

levies, award protests, review of solicitations, bid errors, defaults, 

recovery of excess costs, drafting of contracts and special clauses, 

novations, recovery of Government property, rejected products and 

contract appeals.

Equal Employment Opportunity Office 

The EEO Office is reponsible for assisting the Public Printer in the 

implementation of a program to promote equal opportunity in employment 

and personnel practices within the Government Printing Office. The 

program is conducted in accordance with the Equal Employment Opportunit) 

Act of 1972 and current Civil Service Commission rules and regulations 

published in the Federal Personnel Manual. 

The EEO Office, through its continuing practice of reviewing promotion 

actions, assures fair and equal consideration of minorities and women 

in filling responsible positions. 

In accordance with GPO Federal Merit Promotion Program procedures, 

the EEO Office is represented on each promotional panel. During the 

past year staff members served on 93 promotion panels and reviewed 

155 promotion actions. 

The EEO Office provides precomplaint counseling service and processed 

complaints of discrimination as follows:

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

an EEO Officer, a Sixteen-Point Coordinator, a Federal Women's Program 

Coordinator, four EEO Specialists, one Secretary and one Clerk-typist. 

The part-time staff consists of 22 counselors assigned to the Central 

Offic~ 15 counselors assigned to field installations; 3 Federal Women's 

Program coordinators; and 5 EEO committeepersons at the Departmental 

Service Office. 
- 3 -

The Sixteen-Point Coordinator is concentrating on recruiting Spanishspeaking persons locally and in other geographical areas. The Coordinator 

has conducted a census of Spanish-surnamed employees at the Government 

Printing Office. The results of the survey have portrayed a more 

realistic profile of Spanish-surnamed representation at GPO. 

Affirmative Action Plans for the current fiscal year have been completed 

and approved by the Civil Service Commission. All Department/Service 

Heads will be held accountable for implementing their respective segments 

of the plan. Periodic follow-ups will be made by EEO Specialists 

assigned to the particular Departments and Services to assess progress. 

The Director of EEO established an Upward Mobility Task Force to study 

administrative and clerical jobs in the Government Printing Office. 

Easter religious services included, for the first time, a service 

for the deaf. 

Child care facilities are now available for GPO employees in cooperation 

with local churches. 

Steps have been taken to eliminate the use of part-time EEO counselors 

and other part-time personnel working in EEO. More emphasis has been 

placed upon Upward Mobility. Action has been taken to recruit full-time 

EEO investigators, resulting in better quality of service and monetary 

savings. 

Office of Audits 

The Office of Audits is responsible for conducting independent and 

comprehensive audits of GPO operations, functions, and/or organizational 

units both in Washington, D.C., and at the various field locations, for 

performing such external audits, including contract audits, as are 

deemed necessary; and for reporting its findings and recommendations 

to the Public Printer. 

During the year, audit work was performed on management and operating 

practices pertaining to Central Office and field procurement activities, 

data processing operations, billings submitted by selected commercial 

contractors, preparation and processing of Requests for Personnel Action, 

GPO Bookstores and Distribution Centers, financial accounts and related 

transactions, utilization of GPO transportation vehicles, and the 

Cafeteria. Verifications were made of GPO's change, coupon and imprest 

funds and the adequacy of physical inventory procedures of materials 

and supplies and order processing controls were reviewed. We also 

performed follow-up reviews on data processing, authorization of refunds 
- 4 -

by order processors, preparation and processing of Standard Forms 52 

and inventory procedures for materials and supplies. The General 

Accounting Office was assisted in its audit of GPO operations and 

financial statements and related transactions. 

The Office of Audits commented on 22 proposed GPO instructions and 

revisions to proposed instructions and performed 20 reviews as a 

result of requests from top management including two comprehensive 

EEO investigations and the relocation of certain organizations to 

Union Center Plaza and filling space created by the move to Union 

Center Plaza.

Audit Reports Issued ••••••••••• 27 28 42 

An Acting Director of Audits was appointed on April 28 to succeed the 

former Director who became Comptroller. Procedures and controls were 

strengthened and improved, resulting in overpayments in excess of 

$20,000 being recovered from contractors and the net profit of the 

cigar stand in the Cafeteria increasing from $900 in FY 1972 to more 

than $14,000 in FY 1974. 

At year end, approximately 30 audits were in progress. 

OPERATIONS DEPARTMENTS 

Printing Procurement Department 

The Printing Procurement Department is responsible for providing 

printing, binding, and related products and services required to be 

produced in field printing offices or procured from commercial sources. 

Contracts are established and administered for printing procured 

commercially. These functions are accomplished, under the direction 

of the Printing Procurement Manager, by coordination of the activities 

of the Commercial·Printing Specifications, Central Office Printing 

Procurement, Regional Printing Procurement, and Field Printing Divisions. 

Administrative Order No. 14, revised December 15, 1970, superseded by 

Government Printing Office Instruction 105.1, July 9, 1971, established 

the Department of Printing Procurement, combining ~nto one department 

the activities of Central Office Printing Procurement, Commercial Specifications, and Regional Printing Procurement, formerly under Purchasing 

Division, and Field Service Activities, formerly a separate division. 

The cost of printing procured commercially during Fiscal Year 1974 

increased $35.3 million (35%) in the Central Office Printing Procurement 
- 5 -

Division and $18.1 million (35%) in the Regional Printing Procurement 

Division. This is a total increase of $53.4 million (35%) over Fiscal 

Year 1973. Much of the increase can be attributed to the increased 

cost of paper to our suppliers. The price that the Government Printing 

Office is paying for paper purchased for in-plant production has risen 

almost 39 percent over the past 12 months. 

The total number of jobs processed by the Department increased from 

178,485 in Fiscal Year 1973 to 181,364 in Fiscal Year 1974, the 

smallest increase for the last eight years. This is partly due 

to the fact that many agencies are following the recommendation of 

the General Accounting Office (Opportunities for Savings in the 

Procurement of Tab Paper) and combining many requirements into one 

large order. In addition, inflation has caused many agencies to 

eliminate publications or forms because of limited funds. 

While income has increased, in-plant production in the Field Printing 

Offices for the third consecutive year has decreased. Press impressions 

were down but number of forms run increased, reflecting the changing 

nature of work produced. The number of personnel on the rolls also 

declined. Both trends can be attributed to the impact of the Federal 

Printing Program.

Fiscal Year 1974 proved to be the most difficult year that this 

Department has ever experienced because of the critical paper 

shortage and unstable prices. 

Many suppliers, who were being allocated paper by the mills based on 

their previous year's purchases, complained that their allocations 

were being reduced significantly. To make matters worse, the largest 

producer of i'forms bond" paper announced that this product would be 

phased out completely by 1975. Faced with the prospect of only being 

able to supply a percentage of the printing that they had produced in 

previous years, many suppliers decided to reduce their Government 

business. 

At our suggestion, many agencies agreed to the substitution of alternate 

papers sometimes resulting in a considerable savings to the Government. 

Long term paper commitments became a thing of the past as mills began 

quoting price in effect at time of shipment. It was impossible for 

suppliers to accurately predict their paper costs to bid on our more 

than 1,100 term contracts. Many chose not to bid at all. 

A price redetermination clause, using the Industrial Commodities Index 

as a base, was developed and incorporated into many term contracts. 

In addition, the term of some of the larger contracts was reduced 

from 12 to 6 months. The initial response from industry was 

gratifying. 

Savings to Government agencies in excess of $2,142,000 were realized as 

a result of specification changes suggested by our specialists plus 

our refusal to award contracts for bids that were unreasonable or 

unrealistic. 

The Income Tax Program also felt the effect of the rapidly increasing 

prices. The total value of the program jumped from $7,194,576 in 

Fiscal Year 1973 to $13,483,400 in Fiscal Year 1974. 

The new system for small purchases which was implemented in Fiscal 

Year 1973 was expanded to encompass orders up to $2,500 in Fiscal 

Year 1974. This time-saving procedure is being widely used in all 

of our offices. 

With the lifting of price controls, revised prices were placed into 

effec~ in all of the Field Printing Offices. This has resulted in 

the reversal of a losing trend enabling the Field Printing Division 

to finish the year with a profit. 
- 7 -

Modernization in the Field Printing Division was directed toward acquiring equipment that would contribute to the more efficient production of 

work not readily procurabl~. A web offset perfecting press was purchased for use in the production of the Commerce Business Daily in 

the Chicago Field Printing Office. In addition, an Encomatic Plate 

Processor was installed in the Departmental Service Office as a means 

of increasing productivity and reducing costs in that operation. 

The microfiche program, which we administer for the Defense Supply 

Agency, has saved in excess of $7,500,000 after one year's activity. 

Savings are based on cost of previously procured hard copy compared 

to the cost of microfiche. 

The computer program for the abstracting and evaluation of print 

orders for the flat sheet forms general usage contracts in the Regional 

Offices was extended to include the three book and pamphlet general 

usage contracts. Remote terminals were installed in the Atlanta and 

Philadelphia offices. Previously a terminal had been installed in 

the Washington regional office. Terminals are scheduled for installation in eight additional regional offices during Fiscal Year 1975. 

At the suggestion of this Department, several production changes were 

made in the Marginally Punched Continuous Forms Contract. Binding was 

changed from smyth sew to adhesive binding at a savings of $1,000 per 

issue. In addition, the Linotron was utilized in the preparation of 

composition for the contract at a savings of 158 production hours. 

Customer Service Department 

The Customer Service Manager directs and coordinates the activities of 

three divisions: Planning Service, Plant Planning,and Typography and 

Design. 

Planning Service Division 

The duties and responsibilities of this Division are liaison between 

the Office and its customers in the Federal Government in connection 

with their printing and binding orders; receiving, reviewing, recording, preliminary planning and processing of orders; coordinating in 

the development of schedules for printing and binding services in 

cooperation with other Office personnel; maintaining informational 

and communication services related to work in progress; picking up 

and delivering copy, proofs, "hot" jobs, and portions of jobs interoffice and for the agencies and the Congress; and performing related 

incidental similar work.

The total number of requisitions and print orders received has decreased 

10.8 percent from FY 1973. The number of requisitions is decreasing 

because the Federal Regional Procurement is expanding, and more Government printing is procured directly through the Regional Procurement 

Offices. This trend should eventually level off as the local agencies 

continue to send their normal volume of work through this Office, and 

at the same time produce less work in-house. The number of print orders 

received has also decreased because of the establishment of new contracts 

and the option of the local Federal agencies to procure directly 

through the Regional Procurement Offices. There has, however, been 

a significant change in the overall workload in Planning Service 

because of the appreciable increase in commercial programs and high 

priority work requiring special handling. In addition, more work has 

resulted from increased distribution problems on contracts where the 

agency is permitted to deal directly with the contractor. As more 

and more jobs are produced commercially, the work of the Special 

Services Section will increase proportionately because of the amount 

of work and meetings necessary to handle and administer these programs. 

While the number of regular jackets issued remained stable, the open 

jackets issued {n FY 1974 have increased slightly. This is because 

more local agencies are using GPO general purpose contracts, and because several Departments have been given permission to ride contracts 

made for other agencies. The number of open jackets issued during 

FY 1975 should decrease significantly with the adoption of the "one 

jacket per year" concept which will be put into e:ffect in the near 

future. 

Plant Planning Division 

The principal responsibilities of the Plant Planning Division are to 

schedule and prepare jackets for production within GPO and for 
- 9 -

commercial printing by contractors; plan, firm-estimate and prepare 

and schedule jackets for printing and binding requisitions and print 

orders accepted for Plant production; make such further firm and 

informal estimates as requested by the Congress, Documents Area and 

Printing Procurement Department of this Office and the other Governmental 

departments and agencies; develop sales prices on publications sold by 

Documents; prepare and schedule jackets for purchase orders and requisitions for blank paper and miscellaneous supplies; and govern and control 

maintenance of inventories of paper, envelopes, etc. in the Office and 

commercial contractors' plants.

The preceding table shows an overall decrease of 10.6 percent from the 

previous fiscal year in the Division's four principal activities: 

production plans developed, jackets prepared, firm estimates made, 

and jackets scheduled. Increases or decreases are to be anticipated 

since the governing factor in assigning work jackets for in-plant 

production is the amount of work represented in respect to the 

production capabilities of the plant, rather than the number of 

jackets issued. 
- 10 -

During the fiscal year, 959 hours of overtime were required in Plant 

Planning, an increase of 111 percent over Fiscal Year 1973. Nearly 

65 percent of this overtime was to provide coverage for the Congress 

and the production divisions. The other 35 percent was due to the 

repricing of all publications in storage by Public Documents. 

Typography and Design Division 

The principal responsibilities of this Division are to provide design, 

artwork, and consultation services for all Government agencies and 

the Government Printing Office. 

The total number of jackets processed through the Division decreased 

by 25 percent and the number of jobs received from the Production 

Planning and Scheduling Committee for color consideration decreased 

by 26 percent. Actual work performed has increased due to the high 

level of sophistication and increased complexity of jobs. Also new 

technologies, techniques and material shortages in the industry have 

necessitated more thorough evaluation and production planning.

When compared with Fiscal Year 1973, the number of pieces of finished 

artwork decreased slightly, layout sketches decreased by 39 percent, and 

the number of dummy pages pasted-up decreased by 46 percent. The number 

of illustrations retouched decreased by 75 percent due to the absence 

of the Congressional Pictorial Directory retouching that is accomplished 

in alternate years. The fact that chargeable hours have shown no significant change is a clear indication of the complexity of the work we are 

now processing. 
- 11 -

Simple preparation of cover and title pages has grown to complete 

comprehensive visuals of the entire product, plus the incorporation 

of more and more color. Again this year we feel that this demand 

for total design is mostly due to the impact of the Federal Design 

Assembly. There has been a sizable increase in the amount of work 

done for in-house personnel, such as flip charts, audio-visual 

presentations, briefing material, etc. 

As part of our regular work the 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, Richard Nixon, 1972. This year, in 

addition to the frontispiece, an 8-page, full color signature was added 

to the book. Typography and Design designed the signature, made 

mechanicals, inspected press sheets and processed the entire book of 

1,382 pages from manuscript to finished product through the plant. 

The book was printed on 50 percent rag English finish and was casebound in dark navy blue cloth, stamped in light blue and gold. 

Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, Senate. Over a 

five-month period T&D developed approximately 60 40"x60" charts from 

extremely complicated data furnished by the Committee. In almost all 

cases these charts demanded much handlettering, plotting and photography 

for enlargement to the 40"x60" size which was needed to be effective 

in the large hearing room. Numerous 8"xl0" charts were also produced, 

with 15 to 30 copies of each for use by each Committee member. The 

last project consisted of 20 sets of 17"x20" multicolored charts. 

These individual projects had extremely short deadlines. 

1973 Yearbook of Agriculture, "Handbook for the Home". The format, 

dummy, cover, end sheets and spot art were completely designed in 

T&D. The trim size is 5 3/4"x9", containing 400 pages of text with 

300 black and white illustrations, all sized in T&D. The end sheets 

printed in Brown PMS-476, and the White Kraftco cover was varnished 

and printed in three colors: PMS-307 Blue, PMS-207 Red and PMS-109 

Yellow. The text was set in 9/10 Caledonia with Futura Medium display 

heads. The printing quantity was 245,000. Printing and binding was 

completed in GPO and quality-controlled by this Division. 

The Capitol Magazine, By Law. This magazine is a pictorial history of 

112 pages with a 4-color process cover and a 16-page color signature. 

This sixth edition was revised by T&D and repaginated to insert the 

color signature. The pages provide a glimpse of how Congress works; 

the illustrations reflect our political history. The trim size was 

10 l/2"xl3 7/8" with printing quantity of 575,000 copies. T&D completely 

organized the magazine from a rough department draft and provided press 

sheet inspection at the contractor's plant for quality control. 
-- 12 -

America's First Medals, Treasury. This was one of GPO's biggest jobs, 

with a quantity of 3,500,000. This is a mail advertisement folder, 

printed on 140 lb. White Dull-Coated Offset paper with four-color 

illustrations of twenty medals (silhouette-duotones). Trim size 

7 9/16" x 13 1/2", folds to 7 9/1611 x 3 3/8". T&D established the 

format, designed the folder, created complete camera copy, including 

photocopying from actual medals. 

Fifty Birds of Town and City, Interior. Size: 5 7/8" x 9 1/8". 

This 50-page book contained 52 4-color illustrations. T&D designed, 

prepared mechanicals and sized the illustrations for both paper and casebound editions. 

The interagency training program "Editorial Planning for Printing 

Production" was held as scheduled during the past fiscal year. The 

fall 1973 class was held from October 15 through November 8, and the 

spring 1974 class was held from March 18 through April 12. A total 

of 257 persons were enrolled in these two series of lectures, and 

230 of these received a certificate of completion. 

There were 40 departments and independent agencies represented. 

In addition to our regularly scheduled programs we are now preparing 

a seminar titled "Design Focus '75". This seminar is scheduled to 

begin on February 3, 1975. It is a direct result of a request by the 

Executive Office to improve design in Government. The program will 

give designers already involved in Government activities the opportunity 

for continuing training and exposure to new techniques and the stimulation 

of association with a wider circlE~ in the design community at large. 

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, and Electronic Photocomposition Divisions, and, to no 

less a degree, is responsible for the Library of Congress Printing Branch, 

as well as the small installations at the Smithsonian Institution and 

Interior Department. The Delivery Section, Congressional Record Indexers, 

and Congressional details are vital responsibilities of this Department. 

Composing Division 

The division's responsibility is to accept manuscript material from 

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

the·customer by "hot metal" process, correct returned proofs, and 

provide type or reproduction proofs to other divisions in the advancement 
- 13-

of a publication to delivery. As a service, the division furnishes 

printing specialists to Congress and the agencies, resolves printing 

problems of others, and provides guidance and technical advice upon 

request. 

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

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

where necessary, on a 24-hour basis to assure that the service expected 

of the Office is forthcoming. In addition, there is a small composing 

unit physically located in the Supreme Court Building where the opinions 

and decisions of the Justices are processed under security conditions. 

The printing requirements of the second session of the 93d Congress 

were very demanding during this reporting period. Due to pending 

Impeachment Proceedings, committees were compelled to advance their 

schedules. This caused an abnormal workload in the divisions. This 

factor, coupled with the ever-increasing size of the daily Federal 

Register and the increased number of issues of the daily Congressional 

Record, have taxed the capabilities of both day and night shifts. 

Overtime hours increased substantially over the previous year because 

of the above and also because of the steadily increasing workload and 

short schedule requirement of legislative work. Procedure 113, the hot 

metal procurement contract, was put to the test during this reporting 

period. An alltime high of 110,386 folios of Congressional copy, 

representing 190 different hearings, was purchased commercially via 

this program--a 130 percent increase over Fiscal Year 1973.

The division payroll for the fiscal year increased by $4,656,139, for 

a total of $34,458,061. The increase in payroll is attributable to 

the extended period Congress was in session during the year, demanding 

schedules of a massive workload requiring excessive overtime hours, 

and a $.60 increase in the wage structure of craft employees. The 

night shift accounts for 55.4 percent of the payroll and the day shift 

for 44.6 percent.

The decrease in ems per hour is a cause of concern, representing a 

considerable loss when 520,208 hours of measurable time are involved 

in the loss rate. There have been factors that might have contributed 

to some degree to the decreasing of operators' averages. The necessity 

for excessive detailing of employees to other classifications of work 

during extremely heavy workload periods, such as lengthy, continuous 

sessions of Congress, is one of them. 

The Congressional Record is the major responsibility of the Night 

Composing Division. The largest Record in the past year contained 

648 pages and was printed in two parts. Compared with last year, the 

Record consisted of 26 more issues for an average number of pages per 

issue of 224 and a total increase of 6,661 pages amounting to a 17 

percent increase over the previous year. 

The Federal Register is a responsibility of day Linotype Section. 

The Register is published under the supervision of the National Archives 

and Records Service. Compared with last year, the Federal Register in 

Fiscal Year 1974 had one more issue but was 6,925 pages larger--a 23 

percent increase in size, this following a 21 percent increase the 

previous year. The Register for 1974 totaled 36,521 pages printed in 

253 issues for an average of 144 pages per issue as compared to an 

average of 117 pages in the previous year. The Register has now more 

than doubled the 1970 page total of 17,709. Difficulties in production 

were increased with late receipt of urgent copy from regulatory agencies 

during the year.

There was a 10,541 (15 percent) increase in the total number of patents 

printed during this fiscal year with a data base increase of 20 percent 

to 66,299 patents. While hot metal patents produced were down 5 percent, 

the total number of pages of patents and related publications increased 

by 494. The hot metal portion of the Official Gazette averaged 152 

pages per issue. With the heavy increase in data base patents the 

division was required to process 18,072 folios of copy by hot metal 

procedures for incorporation into photocomposition produced material. 

Letterpress Division 

This division consists of five sections all concerned with production 

of printing plates, storage of reproducibles, and printing by the 

letterpress method. All sections, with the exception of Postal Card, 

are primarily involved with the short-run, accelerated printing 

demands of the Congress. The Federal Register and Congressional 

Record continue to demand much of the time and talent of this division. 

The Federal Register recorded a 23 percent increase in pages--6,925 

pages over Fiscal Year 1973--for an issue average of 144 pages. This 

is an increase from the 117-page average of the previous reporting period. 

With the exception of these two publications and the Postal Card Section, 

work in all other areas of press continued to show a slight decline. 

The workload in Postal Card Section increased by 27 percent over the 

previous fiscal year, attributable to the postal rate change which 

occurred during this reporting period. This demand for postal cards 

is expected to continue. 

Four new Kluge Platen Presses were placed in'operation in the Enrolled 

Bill Section. The form lock clamps were modified so as to accommodate 

our existing chases. 

The casing machine for small cartons is now ready for production. Tests 

have shown that we can expect a substantial increase in production and 

elimination of virtually all hand operations in the Postal Card Section. 

Twelve new chases were ordered for the Condor Presses. These and all 

other Condor chases will be modified to increase their versatility. 

With slight alterations they can be utilized on the Group 32 and 

Group 33 presses. 

The new Record Press has performed successfully during its first full 

year in production. A complete overhaul of the three older presses 

has begun, starting with Press 617. It is estimated that it will take 

6 months to dismantle and overhaul each press. 

Four presses were removed during Fiscal Year 1974 as surplus. Two 

additional presses are in the process of removal.

This division processes reproducibles to a printed product by means of 

lithography which involves photography, platemaking, and presswork. The 

trend of an increasing Congressional workload in this division is highlighted by a 35.5 percent increase in pages produced. The overall average 

number of makereadies (all classes of work) increased by 8.2 percent 

while press impressions (all classes of work) decreased by 5.75 percent. 

These contrasting percentages result from the increase of short-run 

Congressional forms required as against the decrease in the longer-run 

agency jobs. The use of offset web presses to produce signatures of the 

Federal Register and Congressional Record increased during this reporting 

period. Overall, the workload in the Offset Division showed an increase 

from Fiscal Year 1973.

Binding Division 

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

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

the folding, gathering and inserting work this section binds and distributes 

the Congressional Record and Index, the Federal Register, U.S. Passports and 

most of the drilling, punching, wire and plastic binding, wrapping, banding 

and distribution for the Office. The Book Section performs hand binding, 

specialty work, case binding, sewed paper cover books and stamping operations.

Congressional demands on the Binding Division continued heavy in Fiscal 

Year 1974. There was an increase in most categories of Congressional 

work. The number of copies produced of the Congressional Record and 

Federal Register increased significantly over Fiscal Year 1973. 

Several new pieces of equipment were delivered during Fiscal Year 1974. 

The largest project undertaken during this period was the change in 

United States Passport production from hand operations to an automatic 

sewing and folding maehine. Problems with stitch length and thread 

were encountered during this production conversion. These problems 

were resolved and the machine is now producing more books per day than 

originally estimated. 

Electronic Photocomposition Division 

The Electronic Photocomposition Division produces photocomposition on 

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

phototypesetting systems. The division provides information and 

services to the agencies to enable them to adapt suitable publications 

to these systems. 

Linofilm keyboards and photographic units are used primarily to set 

manuscript containing complex mathematical equations and technical 

information. Fotosetter machines produce paper or film positives 

which are converted to camera copy of forms, certificates, and other 

suitable publications. Auxiliary equipment such as paper tape perforators 

and tape converters contribute input to the photo units. 

The Linotrons produce complete page photocomposition at high speed 

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

written on the Government Printing Office and commercial contractor 

computers which have been programmed to convert magnetic tape furnished 

by agencies to a configuration required by Linotron. 
- 19 -

Film and paper processors are used in conjunction with the phototypesetting 

machines to develop the images to either positive or negative form. Proofreading and revising is performed on all manually keyboarded material, and 

photocomposed pages produced on the Linotron are inspected and assembled 

within the Division.

Linotron page production decreased 3.7 percent during Fiscal Year 1974, 

from a total of 628,888 in Fiscal Year 1973 to 605,887 in Fiscal Year 

1974. The loss of 70,421 pages of Census work represents 11 percent 

of the total pages photocomposed in 1973. However, total Linotron page 

production decreased only 3.7 percent in Fiscal Year 1974 which indicates 

a 7.3 percent increase in new work. 

The Linofilm systems and supporting operations reported increased 

activity in Fiscal Year 1974. The Linofilm keyboards showed a slight 

increase of 3 percent in chargeable hours from 15,057 hours in 1973 to 

15,475 hours reported in 1974. Author's alterations consumed over 35 

percent (5,412 hours) of the chargeable Linofilm hours and consisted 

primarily of changes set on Patent Specifications. Book composition 

increased 5 percent on the keyboard in Fiscal Year 1974 from 3,228 hours 

reported in FY 73 to 3,395 hours reported in FY 74. 

The United States Patent Office will discontinue the bulk of the hot metal 

patent work in Fiscal Year 1975. It is anticipated that as a result of this 

decision, the workload will increase in the Linotron area. Work was started 

to convert the present Linotron character generator system into a digital 

character system. Target date for completion is August 1975. Overtime hours 

decreased by 45 percent during this reporting period. 

Night Production Manager 

The primary responsibility of the Night Production Office is to supervise 

the printing and delivery of the Congressional Record and to correlate this 

delivery with the production of Congressional bills, committee prints, 

documents, hearings, reports, and committee print tables while rendering 

all possible assistance to requests for help in advancing departmental work.

The heaviest volume of Congressional Record printing was encountered 

during the week beginning with the July 30 issue. This one week--July 

30 to August 4, 1973--the Congressional Record totaled 1,944 pages. 

The week began with the Congressional Record of Monday, July 30, 1973, 

totaling 256 pages. Tuesday, July 31, the Record comprised 336 pages; 

Wednesday's Record of 352 pages was followed by 352 on Thursday, 320 on 

Friday, and part 2 of Friday's Record was printed Saturday, August 4, 

and totaled 328 pages. 

The two largest single issues, published August 1 and 2, 1973, totaled 

352 pages each. During the fiscal year, 3,244 Record pages were 

printed by the Offset Division. In all, in Fiscal Year 1974, there 

were 52 issues printed which consisted of 288 pages or more while 31 

of these Records exceeded 300 pages. Five issues were published in 

two parts. 

Delivery Section 

This section is responsible for local deliveries to the Congress and 

Executive Departments, shipping of classified mail, and passenger car 

service for the convenience of the Office. The fuel shortage caused 

the Delivery Section to reorganize the delivery routes and to restrict 

nonessential use of its vehicles. Through this effort we were able to 

reduce fuel consumption and made it through the crisis with a minimum 

of difficulty.

The Library of Congress Branch, physically located at the original 

Navy Yard complex in Building No. 159, was established to meet the 

requirements of the Library of Congress for catalog cards and proofsheets. This is accomplished with a combined letterpress and offset 

reproduction process. Titles received for composition in both roman 

and foreign language alphabets have remained constant during this 
- 21 -

reporting period. Requests in all other areas continue to decline. Plans 

to install additional production lines to produce original catalog cards 

are still dependent upon the Library of Congress. Three lines that reproduce previously printed cards are in operation. At this time, no 

decision has been reached as to when the Library will begin reproduction 

of original cards by the magnetic tape process. This process is expected 

to reduce the workload by approximately 40 percent.

A new Huygen Model 2100 Digital Bench Opacimeter was purchased as a 

replacement for our old 40-year old Bausch & Lomb instrument. This 

old meter had become obsolete and it was impossible to buy replacement 

parts for it. 

A new Polarizing Microscope and Camera was purchased for use in determining the proper crystalline structure of pigments and toners. It 

will also be an invaluable aid in helping us identify the nature and 

source of small contaminations in the printing process. 

A new La Ray Falling Rod Viscometer was procured to assist us in the 

measurement of the visco-elastic characteristics of printing inks. 

A new high-speed disperser was procured as a replacement for a propeller 

type Lighting Mixer for use in the production of resinous and miscellaneous 

adhesives. This disperser will ~£feet substantial savings in labor costs 

and enable us to produce more thoroughly and uniformly mixed adhesives. 

A new circulating constant temperature bath was purchased as a replacement 

for an old obsolete bath that was 43 years old and no longer repairable. 

MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION SERVICES 

General Services 

General Services, formerly the Administrative Staff, reporting to 

the Assistant Public Printer (Management and Administration), is 

responsible for developing and administering those Office-wide 

administrative management programs which are not the assigned responsibilities of other GPO organizations. These Office-wide programs 

include management assistance and analysis, management information, 

paperwork management, space management, systems analysis, and other 

selected functions such as the GPO Parking Program and the GPO-Telecommunications Program.

During Fiscal Year 1974, the Industrial Cleaning and Security functions 

were transferred from General Services. The Industrial Cleaning Service 

was transferred to Engineering Service, while the Security function was 

made a separate Service. The Forms, Records and Central File functions 

were transferred to General Services from Financial Management Service. 

This transfer of functions has better aligned and strengthened the controls over these operations. In addition to the transfer of these activities, 

the management analysis capability of General Services was bolstered by 

the transfer of personnel to General Services from related areas of Public 

Documents and the Financial Management Services. During the last quarter 

of the fiscal year, the GPO Pay Parking Program was developed and implemented. Costs incurred in maintaining the parking lots and administering 

the program are recovered by charges to carpool captains and others who 

use the parking lots. A payroll deduction system for this purpose was 

developed and implemented by the end of the fiscal year. 

Assistance was provided to Data Systems Service and Materials Management Service in the development and implementation of an improved 

inventory control system for materials and supplies. Procedures 

were developed and implemented to establish control and accountability 

for the use of GPO-owned transportation vehicles. Layouts and floor 

plans were developed during the fiscal year to facilitate the move of 

some GPO organizational units to newly-leased space in Union Center 

Plaza. Layouts and floor plans were provided for the Central Mailroom 

on the first floor of Building 1. 

Security Service 

The Security Service is responsible for the conduct of investigations; 

for the personnel, physical, and document security programs; and for 

conducting liaison with law enforcement, security and investigative 

agencies. 

The majority of functions performed by the Security Service are preventive type functions. Fiscal Year 1974 represented the first full 

year that physical security had been in existence.

During the past year investigation of the discarding of thousands of 

Public Documents' publication orders into trash receptacles resulted 

in the dismissal of several employees and the discontinuance of the 

practice. Investigation of the theft of U.S. funds and destruction 

of mail during delivery led to the arrest and termination of employment 

of a Public Documents' employee. Security and inventory control 

procedures developed in cooperation with the Materials Management 

Service resulted in the reduction of inventory shortage of bulk 

paper in Building No. 4. 

Personnel Service 

Personnel Service is responsible .for advising the Public Printer and 

his staff on personnel policies and personnel programs which will 

enable the Office to carry out its mission in the most effective 

manner. It is also responsible for administering personnel programs 

in accordance with pertinent laws, civil service rules and regulations, 

and the policies of the Public Printer.

An apprentice class graduated on July 19, 1974. Forty-five apprentices 

reached journeyman status during the fiscal year. 

A new formula for determining the wages of craft uprates was established. 

Craft uprates are now paid based on the rate of the highest paid journeyman supervised. Previously, the wages had been based on the rate of 

pay of the largest group of journeymen supervised. 

The Public Printer offered a 12% increase to all crafts. This offer 

was accepted by all crafts whose anniversary dates fell within this 

fiscal year and was approved by the Joint Committee on Printing. The 

Committee also unanimously approved the Public Printer's suggested 

establishment of a wage study advisory group for determining GPO craft 

wages in 1975, and, possibly, beyond that date. This advisory group 

will consist of an equal number of management and craft wage committee 

members. 

A total of 423 vacancy announcements were issued, compared with 125 in 

Fiscal Year 1973. With the policy of posting all vacancies except those 

filled from promotion rosters, this trend will continue to accelerate. 

Additionally, all announcements now contain knowledge, skills, and 

abilities specially developed for the position. 

Columbia Typographical Union won exclusive recognition on December 26, 

1973, to represent employees at the Departmental Service Office. 

The Washington Printing Pressmen & Assistants' Union, Local No. 1, was 

certified as the exclusive representative of Stereotypers and Electrotypers on July 3, 1973. 

Financial Management Service 

Financial Management Service directs the financial affairs of the 

Government Printing Office to develop, recommend and upon approval, 

implement those financial management policies, plans and programs, 

within the constraints of law and regulations, which will most effectively enable the Assistant Public Printer (Management and Administration) 

to assist the Government Printing Office in accomplishing its mission.

The Departmental Service Office price schedule was completely revised 

and new corresponding hour costs were developed and implemented to 

provide equitable cost recovery in this area of the Field Printing 

Operations. 

A Government Printing Office productivity measurement orientation 

program has been formulated. This program will advise the Government 

Printing Office managers, superintendents, foremen, etc., of efforts 

for "Measuring and Enhancing Productivity in the Federal Government". 

The responsibility for preparation of financial statements for Public 

Documents was transferred to Financial Management Service 

during the year. This action centralized the responsibility for 

preparation of Government Printing Office financial statements. 

A daily work status reporting system was established in the Accounts 

Payable and General Ledger Section; and a project control system was 

established in the Financial Reporting Section. These efforts have 

been very effective in controlling and increasing production. 

The Financial Management Service was reorganized on May 23, 1974. This 

reorganization provides a better distribution of employees, reassignment of functions and should result in a smoother and faster work 

flow. This will enable the Service to better fulfill its mission in 

an effective, efficient and economical manner.

During the year we worked closely with the Materials Management Service 

and the General Services Administration to acquire leased equipment on 

terms most favorable to the Office, consistent with current needs and 

anticipated requirements. These actions included 24-month, fixed-term 

leases, procurement through the GSA ADP revolving fund and surplus lists, 

third-party leasing arrangements, and direct purchases. 

Major equipment changes included the replacement of a System 360 Model 

50 central processing unit with a System 360 Model 65 central processing 

unit; the third-party leasing of System 360 Model 40 and System 360 

Model 50 central processing units; the purchase of two Model 2314 disk 

storage devices; the acquisition of additional p~ug-to-plug compatible 

core storage for the System 360 Model 65 and the System 360 Model 50 

which increased them to 1,024,000 bytes each; and the replacement of 

almost all of our supporting peripheral devices and punch-card accounting equipment under third-party leasing arrangements. 

Not only was the above equipment acquired on more favorable terms, but 

in several instances the equipment acquired was superior in speed and 

reliability when compared to the outgoing equipment. As a direct result 

of these actions, we expect to save an average of $270,916 in rental 

costs per year over the next three years. 

The General Accounting Office conducted an on-site audit of Data Systems 

Service operations from November 1973 until May 1974. A number of audit 

recommendations were placed into effect. This included the establishment of an Automated Data Services Steering Committee, headed by the 

Public Printer; and A Systems Review Task Force consisting of Data 

Systems personnel. The latter began reviewing installed systems wit~ 

a view to incorporating edits and job streamlining procedures which 

would provide quick pay-off in accuracy and economy of effort. This 

proved to be an excellent move, and a number of improvements were made 
- 28 -

to our daily paper inventory applications. Computer run time was 

reduced 75 percent and manned operations 30 percent. 

The Marginally Punched Continuous Forms Contract for Printing Procurement was transferred from Linofilm to Linotron composition. The edit 

program produces fully made-up pages by generating not only the bids 

but the overlay headings. Instead of four individual composition 

runs via Linofilm we now have one composition Linotron run. 

The Monthly Catalog System, for data collection through remote 

terminals, computer processing and printout to be used in formating 

for composition, was implemented. Additional changes are currently 

in process to print the Monthly Index and Catalog through Linotron 

processing. 

Engineering Service 

The Engineering Service is responsible for providing all disciplines 

of professional engineering assistance for: studies, system development, purchases and planning services plus the management and maintenance 

of all GPO facilities, machinery and equipment in consonance with an 

effective and safe working environment for employees in order to meet 

the operational and economic requirements of the Office.

The Engineering Service designed and installed an incremental inch 

button on four sheetfed offset presses. This is a safety device 

developed to prevent hand injuries during the blanket and plate 

washing process by limiting the circumferential movement of the blanket 

and plate cylinders, through use of an electronic timing device, with 

each depression of the inch button. The information regarding this 

device was disseminated throughout the printing industry for utilization. 

Materials Management Service 

The Materials Management Service is responsible for the acquisition 

of materials, equipment, and supplies; commercial services, transportation services; receiving and shipping; maintaining current 

inventory records of paper, envelopes, materials and supplies; 

initiating and accounting for the shipment of Government postal 

cards; and providing authorized support to Government Printing 

Office operations and other Federal agencies.

*Does not include $12,702,100 for Fiscal Year 1972 increased 

mailing costs due to Public Law 92-607. 

The value of our procurement activities during Fiscal Year 1974 

amounted to $93,481,408. This represents an increase of $39,637,845 

when compared to the previous fiscal year. A 105.1 percent increase 

in expenditures for Blank Paper and Envelopes can be attributed to 

major price escalations experienced throughout the year, since the 

quantities of paper purchased only increased 10.9 percent while the 

quantities of envelopes purchased decreased by 29.1 percent in FY 1974 

as compared to FY 1973. The relatively small increase of in-services, 

transportation, communications, and travel is due to increased mailing 

costs resulting from Public Law 92-607 (Supplemental Appropriation 

Act of 1973) which placed the U.S. Postal Service on an equitable 

income basis for postal services provided to Federal agencies. A 

contract for approximately $8.9 million for the improvement of airconditioning and related services accounted for the large increase 

in expenditures for Machinery and Equipment. 

Paper prices showed a substantial increase in each quarter, which 

resulted in a cumulative price increase of 38.287 percent for the 

entire year. 
- 30 -

The biweekly average inventory of paper during Fiscal Year 1974 

amounted to 32,755,654 pounds. This figure included an average of 

1,260,648 pounds in the plants of commercial printing contractors and 

2,031,051 pounds on hand awaiting release. The high point in paper 

inventory of 45,436,643 pounds occurred during the biweekly period of 

June 10, 1974 through June 21, 1974, and the low point of 26,657,386 

pounds occurred during the biweekly period of December 26, 1973 through 

January 4, 1974. 

PUBLIC DOCUMENTS SERVICES 

The major responsibilities of the Office of the Assistant Public

On February 14, 1974, the Public Printer approved an extensive reorganization 

of the former "Public Documents Department". The elevation of the Superintendent of Documents to the level of Assistant Public Printer, and the 

need to improve services to the Congress, the depository libraries, and the 

public, dictated the reorganization of the former structure into a more 

responsive organizational element with management emphasis on the total 

sales program and the depository and statutory distribution programs. The 

new organization employs the use of three major services to be supported by 

the standard organizational elements of divisions, branches, sections, and 

units. The three new services are: (1) the Documents Sales Service, (2) 

the Library and Statutory Distribution Service, and (3) the Documents 

Support Service. 

Micropublishing 

Major steps in preparing for possible initiation of the Depository 

Library Micropublishing Project were carried forward during the year. 

Survey questionnaires were mailed to 1,112 Depository Libraries seeking 

their specific preference for either a microform or hardcopy edition of 

some 2,800 publication categories distributed to the Depository system. 

Survey questionnaire responses were received from 960 libraries at the 

close of the reporting period. More than 29 percent of all material 

shipped to Depository Libraries is preferred in a microform as indicated 

by librarian responses. 
- 32 -

On the basis of the survey questionnaire responses a letter was forwarded 

to the Joint Committee on Printing seeking authority to undertake a $25,000 

four-month pilot project which involves the conversion of documentation to 

a 98 frame 24:1 reduction ratio microfiche format to selected libraries for 

review and analysis. The Committee indicated approval for a Pilot Program 

in late December. 

In preparation for the proposed micropublishing project briefings were 

provided sixteen industry, Government and library groups during the 

reporting period. A four-member Micropublishing Advisory Committee 

to the Public Printer was formed to provide guidance and advice in 

the planning for the proposed project. 

Documents Sales Service 

The Documents Sales Service is responsible for the sale of Government 

documents and also provides certain documents distribution services for 

Government agencies. Primary functions include: procurement of sales 

documents; marketing; inventory control; warehousing; order processing; 

and mail list maintenance, addressing; and mailing. 

New and modern warehousing space is being acquired in Laurel, Maryland, 

which will prove beneficial. However, this will not relieve the severe 

space constraints presently on order processing activities, nor will 

the move of administrative personnel to Union Center Plaza bring increase~ 

in space for order processing. Overall modernization requirements relatin6 

to facilities must center on efforts to obtain new space to allow centralization of order processing and warehousing activities for increased 

efficiency of operations. 

A new, uniform pricing schedule was establishe~ and applied to new and 

reprinted documents to more realistically reflect costs. Also, over onehalf of on-hand stock was repriced in accordance with this schedule. 

The third shift was eliminated and personnel transferred to the second shift 

to achieve better utilization of supervisory personnel. 

"Selected U.S. Government Publications" (which presently has over 1. 5 

million addresses) was converted from a biweekly to a monthly issuance 

with a resultant savings of slightly over $1 million annually. 

The subscription fulfillment program was modernized. All records were 

converted from Elliott Stencil Files to magnetic tape; controls and 

schedules were established with Data Systems Service; the Mail List 

section was reorganized in a sequential production line; and the order 

processing time frame was reduced. This set of actions has almost completely automated the subscription program. Entry to computer is by remote 

terminals and OCR devices. Renewal notices are now optically scanned. 
- 33 -

New bookstores were opened in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Seattle, 

Washington; and Jacksonville, Florida, bringing the number of 

stores in operation to 24. The store in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 

was relocated to larger permanent quarters. 

A large sales exhibit was established in the U.S. Pavilion at EXPO '74 

in Spokane, Washington. That exhibit, running from May to November 

1974, was the largest of its kind in which GPO has participated. 

Library and Statutory Distribution Service 

The Library and Statutory Distribution Service is responsible for 

the management of the Depository Library Program and all statutory 

distribution of Government publications in accordance with Titles 1 

and 44 of the United States Code. 

New warehouse and office space was obtained for the Library and 

Statutory Distribution Service on Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, 

Virginia. Approximately 56,000 square feet of warehouse and office 

space has been leased. 

Beginning with the March Monthly Catalog, preparation was done by 

ATS remote terminals, providing additional indexes, subjects, titles 

and authors. 

Documents Support Service 

The Documents Support Service has three divisions which are 

responsible for directing work-supporting and management services 

necessary to the operations of the Office of the Assistant Public 

Printer (Superintendent of Documents). The Administrative Division 

has four basic areas of responsibility: correspondence control, 

personnel-programs administration, clerical support, and supply 

management. The primary functions of the Analysis and Review Division 

are the analysis, development, review, and recommendation of changes to 

present policies, programs, and procedures. The Receipts and Accounts 

Division is responsible for mail receipt and distribution; receipt, 

deposit, and refund of customer remittances for sales publications; 

and maintenance of special accounts. 

The Correspondence Branch processed 4,050 pieces of priority mail 

during Fiscal Year 1974. This represents a slight decline over the 

total of 4,374 pieces processed during Fiscal Year 1973. In February 

1974, the operation undertook control over priority mail for the entire 

Government Printing Office. 

Mail Room Branch employees handled an average of 22,000 pieces of mail 

daily during Fiscal Year 1974. 
- 34 -

An IBM copier was acquired to replace a Xerox duplicating machine 

formerly used by employees in the Documents area. This has resulted 

in savings which should amount to $10,000 annually. 

An OPEX IV letter-opening machine with conveyor for delivery of mail 

to work stations was placed into use on ~fuy 8, 1974. Use of the 

machine reduced the time to open and to extract contents from envelopes. 

The installation has resulted in considerable savings inman-hours. 

During the year we began a program of placing approximately 70,000 

deposit accounts on computer by remote terminal. This will result 

in better service to deposit account holders by providing them with 

faster service, as well as monthly activity reports. 

As a result of actions by the Systems Task Force, a new mail room was 

constructed and occupied during the year. In accordance with the 

design and space-utilization concepts of the Government-wide Office 

Excellence Program, the area was renovated and new, modular-type 

furnishings were installed, including adjustable sort bins. New 

mail carts were also purchased and utilized. This colorful and new 

environment has done much to improve employee morale and operating 

efficiency. 

A new centralized mailroom became operational during the year. It 

received all incoming mail which was previously received at 13 

different points within GPO. This activity also undertook responsibility for receiving and sorting all mail returned to GPO as undeliverable. The return mail, which contains a substantial amount of new mail, 

is processed on a same-day basis. Under the previous system, the new 

mail may not have reached the action point for several days. 

Systems Task Force 

The Systems Task Force was established by the Public Printer to improve 

the effectiveness, efficiency, and quality of GPO mail operations and 

of Public Documents inventory management and sales-to-public order 

processing operations by designing and implementing operations management systems in those areas, and to expand the scope of this effort to 

analogous operations elsewhere in GPO when and if so directed by the 

Public Printer. 

There is no pre-FY-74 operating history for comparison with last 

year's operations. The design functions of Phase I (Central Mailroom), 

Phase II (Order Opening), and Publication Receipt and Control System 

(PRCS) were accomplished during the fiscal year. Implementation of 

Phase I and Phase II (except for delay of receipt of some work movement systems equipment) were also completed. Implementation of PRCS 

commenced during the fiscal year but will not be completed until Fiscal 

Year 75. 
- 35 -

Predesign planning of Phase III (Order Input) did not begin until 

FY 1975; however, all of the facilities design and much of their 

implementation was completed in May and June of FY 74, and much of the 

FY 74 effort to develop PRCS will come to bear on the design and 

development of Phase III. 

Miscellaneous efforts by Task Force resources included development of 

a proposal for relocation of Public Documents Depository Library Mailing Unit to the Alexandria warehouses and restructure of its operations. 

The Task Force also helped staff the team that developed the scheme 

for occupancy of new spaces in the Union Center Plaza.

SIGNIFICENT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses are recognized on the accrual 

basis of accounting. 

Land, buildings and equipment are stated at cost. Major improvements 

and betterments to existing plant and equipment are capitalized. 

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not extend the life of 

the applicable assets are charged to expense as incurred. 

Depreciation of the plant equipment and machinery i~ provided on a basis 

estimated by the Government Printing Office to be sufficient to write off 

the cost of the assets over their useful lives, using the straight-line 

method. 

When properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and 

accumulated depreciation accounts are adjusted accordingly. Any 

resulting profit or loss is charged or credited to earnings. 

Revenue generated by the printing and binding operation is recognized 

when entered into work-in-process. 

Revenue generated by the Sales of Publications Operation is 

recognized when publications have been shipped or when services have 

been performed. 

Reserved retained earnings represent funds for future acquisitions of 

machinery and equipment. 

Publications for sale inventory is computed using the retail inventory 

pricing method; printing work-in-process is recorded at standard value; 

paper inventory is recorded at a standard cost using the first-in, firstout (FIFO) method of valuation; and the materials and supplies inventory 

is computed on a moving average basis.
