FOREWORD 

The Government Printing Office began operations in 

accordance with Congressional Joint Resolution 25 of 

June 23, 1860. The act stated that the Superintendent 

of Public Printing was authorized and directed to have 

executed the printing and binding authorized by the 

Senate and House of Representatives, the Executive and 

Judicial Departments, and the Court of Claims. 

The Government Printing Office is part of the Legislative 

Branch and is under the direction of the Public Printer 

of the United States. The Public Printer is required by 

law to be a practical printer versed in the art of bookbinding 

and is appointed by the President with the advice and consent 

of the Senate. 

The Congressional Joint Committee on Printing acts as a 

board of directors of this Office. The activities of the 

Government Printing Office are outlined and defined in the 

act of October 22, 1968, as amended (82 Stat. 1238; 44 U.S.C.). 

The GPO executes orders for printing and binding placed by 

Congress and Departments and establishments of the Federal 

Government. It furnishes blank paper, inks and similar 

supplies to all Government activities on order. It prepares 

catalogs and distributes and sells Government publications. 

Over 25,000 different publications are sold through mail 

orders and government bookstores throughout the United 

States. It administers the Depository Library Program 

through which selected government publications are made 

available in libraries throughout the country. 

GPO invites bids from commercial suppliers on a wide variety 

of printing and binding services. It awards and administers 

contracts, and maintains liaison between ordering agencies 

and contractors. 

v 
FISCAL YEAR 1975 HIGHLIGHTS 

Most facets of printing and binding provided by the 

Government Printing Office during 1975 were greater than the 

preceding fiscal year. Total dollar volume aggregated 

$439.7 million. This was $73.6 million, 20 percent, greater 

than 1974,and$148 million greater than 1973. The two year 

growth was 51 percent. Procurement of printing from commercial sources was 66.8 percent of the total dollar volume 

for 1975 compared with 64 percent in fiscal year 1974. 

Modernization efforts during the past year included the 

installation of an optical character reader/text processing 

system which was initially used to produce congressional 

work. The system provides the capabilities for copy editing, 

updating, and data retrieval from storage through the use 

of special purpose video display terminals. It is anticipated 

that a 20 percent cost reduction will result from hearings 

produced with this system. Six new offset presses, replacing 

obsolete equipment, were placed in operation during the 

year. Many congressional publications have been converted 

to the adhesive binder which was installed last year resulting 

in lower cost and a better product. An automatic gathering, 

sewing, and folding machine, used to manufacture U.S. passports, 

was also placed in operation during 1975. 

The Environmental Impact Study for a proposed new main 

printing facility was initiated and is expected to be 

completed early in fiscal year 1976. 

Several new management methods and processes have been 

initiated or greatly refined during this year. Those expected 

to have major impact are: 

Management by Objective which was formally adopted 

throughout the Office in August 1974 to define, systematically plan, measure progress and meet objectives at 

all organizational levels. 

Automated data services planning for which new policies 

and procedures were introduced to develop orderly and 

workable selection, approval and implementation of major 

computer oriented projects. 

Internal budgeting, work measurement and productivity 

standards development were refined and strengthened to 

further coordinate and integrate resources with workload. 

VII 
A pilot project on the use of microfilm was begun. It 

involves conversion of the Code of Federal Regulations 

from hard copy to microfilm for distribution to selected 

depository libraries. If this test is successful~ the 

Code will be available to all depository libraries in 

microfiche. It is expected that this will reduce the 

cost of the Depository Library Program by $320,0QO annually. 

Physical consolidation of certain activities under the 

Superintendent of Documents has been partially completed 

and some new automated systems brought on line. These 

have improved the effectiveness of Documents programs. 

VIII 
THE PUBLIC PRINTER'S PERSPECTIVE 

Fiscal year 1976 will see an increase in the amount of 

composition produced on photocomposition equipment and a 

continuing decrease in overtime hours in the hot-metal 

typesetting operations. The text processing capacity of 

the Electronic Photocomposition Division will more than 

double in fiscal year 1976 and new phototypesetting equipment 

will provide increased flexibility. New processes in the 

platemaking area will become operational which may soon 

replace our present relief platemaking processes. Purchased 

printing by the regional field offices is anticipated to 

increase in volume in fiscal year 1976 as agencies decrease 

the amount of work produced in-house. 

During fiscal year 1976 an Office of Assistant Public 

Printer for Planning will be establishe?. The principal 

purpose of this activity will be to determine the 

appropriate alternatives to insure the agency's mission 

is accomplished in the most efficient, effective, and 

economical manner with particular emphasis on utilizing 

new technology by the Government Printing Office and 

its customers. 

It is expected that sales of government publications to the 

general public and distribution to the depository libraries 

will increase. New facilities, new systems and increased 

productivity will be required to handle these increases. 

Action in these areas has started and will permit handling 

of greater volume more efficiently.

GENERAL COUNSEL 

Personnel 

Activities 

STAFF ACTIVITIES 

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, 

procurement, personnel actions, labor-management relations, 

litigation, and claims. 

In discharging this responsibility the Office of the General 

Counsel (1) 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, (2) drafts and comments 

on all legislation affecting the Office, (3) investigates

Number of Employees 10 9 5 

The amount and complexity of the workload increased over 

fiscal year 1974 in three areas. The contract disputes and 

appeals increased from one in fiscal year 1974 to 10 cases 

in 1975, Equal Opportunity hearings increased from four to 

nine in 1975 and litigations including class action increased 

from four in fiscal year 1974 to five in fiscal year 1975. 

During the year Public Law 93-359, dated July 25, 1974 

authorized the Government Printing Office to waive certain 

claims of the United States arising out of erroneous payments of pay and allowances, bringing the Government Printing 

Office into line with other Federal agencies which already 

have this statutory authority; and Public Law 93-459, dated 

October 20, 1974 amended Title 44, United States Code, 

to provide statutory accountability of certifying officers of 

the Government Printing Office similar to the accountability 

of other Government certifying officers and provided that 

they may submit vouchers to the General Accounting Office 

for advance rulings. 

1 
Cases A precedent-making case worked on during this year involved 

the liability of the Public Printer and the Superintendent 

of Documents for money damages for invasion of privacy. 

The suit has its genesis in the printing and distribution of 

a House Report, an investigative report of a Public School 

System. The case reached the Supreme Court on the procedural issue of the immunity of the officials under the Speech 

and Debate Clause of the Constitution and the judicially 

fashioned doctrine of official immunity. At the conclusion 

of the Supreme Court proceedings, the only defendant 

parties remaining were the Public Printer and the Superintendent of Documents, the Court having affirmed the judgment of the lower courts dismissing the suit as to the other 

defendants. Inasmuch as the Court dealt only with the issue 

of immunity and did not have facts before it regarding the 

extent of the publication and distribution of the Report, the 

case was remanded to the lower courts. The question remaining, therefore, was to determine if the publication and distribution of the Report were within the sphere of legitimate 

legislative activity so as to cover the Public Printer under 

the umbrella of the immunity of the Speech and Debate Clause 

of the Constitution. 

Further proceedings in the District Court based upon affidavits of present officials of the Government Printing Office 

resulted in a dismissal of the action. The plaintiff appealed to the Circuit Court of Appeals where the matter is 

presently pending. 

Another case arose out of a motion filed in October 1974, 

seeking to have a non-GPO employee seated on the Public 

Printer's Wage Advisory Committee which was to consist solely of GPO employees. The person had to be ejected from the 

meeting and the Government Printing Office building. He 

filed an action against the Public Printer and another official seeking $50,000 compensation and $500,000 in punitive 

damages. An answer was filed by the Government denying any 

improper action had occurred, and in January 1975 the case 

was dismissed for lack of prosecution. 

In another case the plaintiff, a former employee, was suspended indefinitely by GPO in November 1973, pending disposition of criminal charges brought against her for murder, assault and battery in connection with a fellow employee. 

Plaintiff declared that she was improperly suspended and 

sought reinstatement in a complaint filed in February 1975 

for declaratory judgment and other relief. The complaint was 

dismissed by the Court without prejudice. 

Some other cases included five brought under Title VII of the 

Civil Rights Act, one of which was declared by the Court to 

be a class action. Two of these suits were decided in favor 

of the Government Printing Office and the remaining three are 

pending before the Court.

Personnel 

The Equal Opportunity (EO) Office is responsible for assisting 

the Public Printer in the implementation of a program designed 

to promote equal opportunity in employment and personnel 

practices within the Government Printing Office. The 

program is conducted in accordance with the Equal Employment 

Opportunity Act of 1972, and current Civil Service Commission 

rules and regulations published in the Federal Personnel 

Manual, Chapter 713. 

The EO Office assists in the formulation and implementation 

of an affirmative action plan covering such elements as: 

skills utilization, upward mobility, training, supervisory 

and employee orientation, community involvement, program 

evaluation and processing of complaints from aggrieved 

employees or qualified applicants alleging discrimination 

on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, or national 

or~g~n. In addition, the Office periodically advises 

the Public Printer on procedures, regulations and other 

matters pertaining to the EO program. 

The EO Office provided pre-complaint counseling service and

SPECIAL 

ASSISTANT 

At the end of the year, the Equal Opportunity Office was 

Staffed by an EO Director, two EO Officers, a Spanish Program 

Coordinator, a Federal Women's Program Coordinator (FWPC), 

four EO specialists, two EO investigators, and two secretaries. The staff members in the field installations consisted of 14 counselors, three Field Service FWPC's and 32 

EO Committee persons. 

New Spanish American hires increased the GPO total of Spanish American employment to 176 at June 30, 1975, an increase 

of 30. 

The Director and key staff members conducted an orientation 

of top management in the concepts, principles, laws, and 

regulations pertaining to the agency's EO Program. In addition, a much broader EO Training Program entitled "EO Training for GPO Supervisors" was offered. This nine-hour course 

was conducted by staff persons and was presented to enable 

management to identify problem areas of particular EO concern, 

and to foster better relationships between employees and management in the work environment. The course stressed management's responsibility for EO results. 

Greater use of statistical models and studies will be utilized 

by the EO Office to enhance the assessment of EO progress 

throughout the agency. Turnover studies and morale evaluations will be made. More frequent and timely reports regarding the findings will be made available to top management as 

well as Department and Service Heads. 

The Special Assistant to the Public Printer performs certain 

staff duties and is responsible for public information, and 

serves as the focal point of contact with industry and trade 

associations and private industry. 

During fiscal year 1975, this Office: 

a. Made contact with and established good working 

relationship with trade and general press. 

Many positive articles have resulted. 

b. Assisted in the development of agency workshop 

programs designed to improve GPO/agency relations 

and effectiveness of Federal graphics. 

c. Coordinated a slide presentation on history, 

mission, organization, and scope of activities 

of GPO. Copies will be made for training and 

original was shown to the National Endowment 

for the Arts.

e. Served as liaison for visits by national and 

international printing officials. 

f. Compiled centralized speech file. 

g. Assisted in the development and execution of the 

first executive seminar outside the Central Office. 

This Office plans to accelerate a number of external and 

internal public information programs. 

Working with the Customer Service Manager, the Office will 

continue to present seminars and workshops to agencies and 

graphics-oriented organizations on how to get more out of the 

printing dollar. 

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. The Office of Audits maintains liaison with 

the General Accounting Office and other outside audit activities. 

During the year, the Office of Audits reviewed cash handling 

procedures and controls; initiated a comprehensive examination 

of GPO pay policies and procedures; evaluated management 

and operating practices pertaining to: selected Field 

Printing Offices and Regional Printing Procurement Offices; 

Pueblo Distribution Center; billings submitted by selected 

commercial contractors; Documents Area order processing 

controls; Customer Deposit Accounts; and Agency complaints 

about printing. Follow-up reviews were performed on procedures 

related to handling of cash and other negotiable instruments; 

billing and collection procedures of the Government Accounts 

Section and batch controls system for processing customers' 

orders for publications. The staff members worked with 

representatives of the General Accounting Office (GAO) in 

its annual audit of GPO's financial statements. 

During fiscal year 1975, the Office of Audits established 

a procedure to test turnaround times of orders submitted 

for publications; conducted three tests using this procedure, 

and reported on the results. Also, the staff verified GPO's 

change, coupon and imprest funds on a quarterly basis and 

responded to 22 special requests from top management. The 

staff also responded to three requests for staff assistance 

from Employeee Relations Branch of Personnel Service and 

the Security Officer.

As a result of the audit work performed, procedures and 

controls were strengthened and improved. The Office of 

Audits made recommendations to GPO management which 

would increase revenue and/or reduce costs by a total 

of $206,000. Included in this total are overpayments 

amounting to over $40,000 that were recovered from printing 

and binding contractors. This represents an increase 

in cash recovery of $7,500 over fiscal year 1974. 

The Office of Audits plans to establish a career development program for auditors by having them assigned to various 

work areas within the Government Printing Office for specified 

periods of time. The purpose of the program is to attract 

qualified people and train them to be competent managers.

DEPUTY PUBLIC PRINTER (OPERATIONS) 

The Deputy Public Printer performs such duties as are assigned 

by the Public Printer and acts as Public Printer in the 

absence of the Public Printer in accordance with Title 44 of 

the U.S. Code and other applicable laws. He is responsible 

for direction of planning and production of printing and 

binding through"in-house facilities and contractors. In this 

capacity, he supervises and coordinates the activities of the 

Managers of the Customer Service, Printing Procurement, 

Production, and Quality Control and Technical Departments. 

The production statistics of these Departments are shown on 

pages 51 to 54 and certain data are summarized under each 

Department below. 

Fiscal year 1976 will see an increase in the amount of 

composition produced on photocomposition equipment and a 

continuing decrease in overtime hours in the hot-metal typesetting operations. The text processing>capacity of the 

Electronic Photocomposition Division will more than double 

in fiscal year 1976 and new phototypesetting equipment will 

provide increased flexibility. New processes in the platemaking area will become operational which will soon replace 

our present relief platemaking processes. Purchased printing 

in the Regional Procurement Offices is anticipated to increase 

in volume in fiscal year 1976. 

The Customer Service Manager directs and coordinates the 

activities of the Planning Service, Plant Planning and 

Typography and Design Divisions. He serves as the Government Printing Office representative with the Joint 

Committee on Printing (printing and binding regulations). 

He advises the Public Printer and Deputy Public Printer on 

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

The duties and responsibilities of this Division are serving 

as 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 process; picking 

up and delivering copy and proofs, and performing other 

related work. 

The total number of print orders and requisitions received 

in fiscal year 1975 decreased from 112,562 in fiscal year 1974 

to 105,060 or about nine percent. The decreased number of 

orders and requisitions is attributed to the tightened economy

and increasing services furnished by the Regional Procurement Offices. However, this trend has leveled off now that 

the Federal Regional Printing Procurement Program has been 

fully established. 

The Congressional Information Section was reorganized which 

resulted in better response to Congressional needs and 

reduction in overtime. 

The responsibilities of the Plant Planning Division are to: 

plan, estimate and prepare production schedules for plant 

production; prepare jackets covering requisitions for blank 

paper and miscellaneous supplies; and control inventories 

of paper and envelopes within the Office and printing 

contractors' plants. 

The overall production decreased about 10 percent in fiscal 

year 1975 over fiscal year 1974. For example, jobs scheduled dropped from 30,218 to 28,440, firm estimates dropped 

from 11,962 to 9,088 and blank paper requisitions dropped 

from 6,841 to 5,905 {see detailed production statistics on 

page 51). 

Savings of over $185,000 in the cost of printing resulted 

from recommendations by Division technicians. For example, 

the Civil Service Commission saved over $39,000 through a 

suggested change in format; Housing and Urban Development 

accepted the suggestion to change a job from saddle stitch 

to paste-on-press which resulted in a $25,000 savings; the 

Department of Army saved over $30,000 by changing a job 

from sewn to adhesive binding; and the General Services 

Administration saved more than $25,000 by changing a type of 

paper and method of packaging. 

This Division is charged with the responsibility of providing design, illustration, consultation, and quality con~ 

trol services to all Government agencies and the Departments 

and Services of the Government Printing Office. 

While some of the work in this Division continued to decline 

from previous years, such as the number of jackets processed 

(see page 51), orders for photoengraving and halftones and 

line cuts have increased from 9,935 in 1974 to 10,169 in 

1975, a 10 percent increase. 

The Technical Review Section technicians were responsible 

for savings of nearly $75,000 during the year, which does 

not include economies affected in conferences prior to 

completion of specifications and the preparation of 

finished artwork. 

The Interagency Training Program "Editorial Planning for 

Printing Production" was held as scheduled during the past 

fiscal year and 260 persons were enrolled in two sessions.

Sixty-five persons attended the first annual Government 

Printing Office "Design Focus" seminar for Federal artists 

and designers. This program included guest speakers of 

local and national stature from both private and federal 

sectors of the designed community. 

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. These functions are 

accomplished, under the direction of the Printing Procurement Manager, by coordination of the activities of the 

Commercial Printing Specifications, Central Office Printing 

Procurement, Regional Printing Procurement, and Field Printing Divisions. 

The value of printing procured commercially during fiscal 

year 1975 when compared with fiscal year 1974 increased $32.3 

million (23 percent) in the Central Office and $26.4 million 

(37 percent) in the Regional Offices. This was a total 

increase of $58.7 million for the year which was primarily the 

result of the generally inflationary market of fiscal year 

1975. The total number of jobs processed increased slightly 

(3.5 percent) from 181,364 in 1974 to 187,833 in 1975. 

A Multilith Press Model 4250 and Rotomatic 50-bin gathering 

machine were installed in the Commercial Printing Specifications Division to facilitate the preparation of commercial 

printing specifications. This has provided increased reproduction capacity at a lower cost and has virtually eliminated 

the hand gathering bottleneck that has plagued this operation 

for a number of years. 

Computer terminals for abstracting and evaluating bids on 

print orders were installed in six more Regional Offices 

during fiscal year 1975. A total of nine Regional Offices 

now have this capability. It is estimated that 5,700 manhours, or approximately $47,000 will be saved annually as a 

result of this capability. 

The conversion of the bid forms on the contract for marginally punched continuous forms to Optical Character 

Recognition (OCR) enabled the reduction of keypunching delays 

of as much as two weeks which had previously been encountered 

in processing the more than 200,000 individual bid items that 

were received. 

A "single jacket concept" for term contracts was adopted. 

In the past, a separate jacket was assigned for each month 

of the contract term, but now only one jacket per fiscal 

year will be required. This has reduced errors and saved 

a considerable amount of processing time and storage.

COMPOSING 

A committee has been established for reviewing all term 

contracts for possible conversion to a basic format pricing 

structure. This concept will permit the automation of 

abstracting print orders on multiple award-type programs in 

both the Central and Regional Offices. 

The Production Department is responsible for all "in-plant" 

printing production. This Department has direct responsibility for the Binding, Composing, Electronic Photocomposition, Letterpress, and Offset Divisions. The Delivery 

Section, Congressional Record Indexers, and Congressional 

Details also are the responsibility of the Production 

Manager. In addition, a Library of Congress Branch plant is 

operated in the Washington Navy Yard to produce catalog cards 

for the Library of Congress. 

The mission of Binding Division is to perform binding and 

finishing operations on printed and blank sheets according to 

the requirements of Congress and other Federal agencies. 

Production records for the past three fiscal years show an 

increase in most categories of Congressional work. For 

example, over 23,000 copies of legislative bills were 

processed, a 15 percent increase over last year. More than 

1,500 hearings were processed, a 10 percent increase over 

last year, and over 12 million copies of the Federal Register 

were processed, a 13 percent increase over fiscal year 1974. 

The overall volume of work performed by the Division declined 

slightly during fiscal year 1975 due to the trend toward 

increased commercial procurement of work for executive 

agencies. The volume of work produced by the Binding 

Division is now primarily related to Congressional activity. 

During the past fiscal year the Binding Division's efforts 

were especially directed toward providing better service to 

Congress. Several new pieces of equipment were installed 

which will allow the Bindery to meet production requirements 

more efficiently and at a reduced cost. For example, two 

new faster folding machines were installed expediting 

deliveries of Congressional Bills. Also, two Nordson Hotmelt Applicators were installed on the mailing machines in 

the Record Room which resolved difficulties encountered in 

wrapping the Congressional Record and the Federal Register. 

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 of a publication 

to delivery. As a service, the Division furnishes printing 

specialists to Congress and customer agencies, resolves 

printing problems of others, and provides guidance and 

technical advice upon request.

DIVISION 

Production 

Analysis 

The Division consists of six sections--Monotype, Job, Linotype, Hand, Proof, and Patents. Each section operates on a 

two-shift basis and, when 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 total number of ems set in fiscal year 1975 shows a 

decrease from 2.23 billion to 2.03 billion, a nine percent 

decline. The principal reason for the decline is due to 

certain patent work and other tabular matter being procured 

commercially and/or produced by photocomposition within GPO. 

The trend from hot-metal typesetting toward photocomposition 

and other methods of reproduction is expected to continue. 

The largest single issue of the Congressional Record was produced this year which consisted of 608 pages and was printed 

in two parts. Also, the largest issue of the Federal 

Register was.printed this year. It consisted of 960 pages 

and was printed in two parts and three sections. The Federal 

Register continued its trend of larger daily issues in fiscal 

year 1975 with a 17 percent increase in printed pages. Compared with last year, the Register had six more issues and 

7,004 more pages, with an average pages per issue increase of 

24, or 168 pages per average issue. The Register has now 

grown 60 percent over the 1970 page total of 17,709. The

The Electronic Photocomposition Division produces photocomposition on manually-operated photomechanical and tape-operated 

phototypesetting machines. An Optical Character Recognition 

System (OCR) and a Text Editing Processor are used for capturing original typed manuscript copy and performing file 

corrections and updating. The Division provides information 

and consulting services to customer agencies to enable them 

to adapt their composition needs to these systems. 

The Linotron production of 708,034 pages in fiscal year 1975 

represents the highest production achieved on the system 

since installation in 1967. This is an increase of 102,147 

pages, 17 percent, over the number of pages produced during 

fiscal year 1974.

Congressional Hearings have been by far the largest volume of 

work produced through the OCR/Text Editing System. Approximately 14,500 manuscript folios were processed by this new 

system during the latter part of fiscal year 1975 compared 

with none in fiscal year 1974. The majority of these folios 

were for the Senate Appropriations Committee which submitted 

OCR scannable ready copy to GPO. 

During fiscal year 1975, the highest total production through 

the Linotron System was Patent Specifications which totaled 

396,032 pages this fiscal year compared with 337,854 pages 

last fiscal year. 

The Official Gazette pages totaled 19,722 this year as compared with 16,385 pages for fiscal year 1974. This reflects 

a 17 percent increase for the Patent Specifications and a 20 

percent increase for the Official Gazette. 

Specifications were developed and bids submitted for a new 

high-speed mathematical photocomposing system with supporting 

software. The new system will replace the current Linofilm 

System and Fotosetter equipment and will expand the typesetting flexibility of the Division. 

The primary mission of the Letterpress Division is concerned 

with Congressional requirements for printing produced by the 

letterpress method. This task is accomplished by two press 

sections: Main Press and Postal Card, and three Plate Sections: Photoengraving, Stereotype, and Electrotype. 

Total press impressions increased slightly, (two percent) from 

393.2 million in 1974 to 402.5 million in 1975, due to a large 

number of issues of the Federal Register. The increase was 

achieved even though there was a 36 percent decrease in the 

number of postal card impressions. 

In addition to normal production, the postal card presses 

produced, for the first time in fiscal year 1975, a total of 

20.9 million kraft wrappers. 

The casing machine ac~uired for production of small cartons in 

the Postal Card Section has proven to be a vital improvement 

in casing of postal cards and has resulted in a decrease of 

about 5,000 man-hours per year in this operation. 

A joint effort between the Letterpress and Offset Divisions 

for use of photopolymer plates is proving advantageous. Photopolymer plates are being used to produce passports and plans 

are being formulated to purchase a suitable photopolymer platemaking system for utilizing these plates in the Letterpress 

Division which should result in reduced platemaking costs.

The Offset Division is responsible for the production of 

printed matter by the use of rotary sheetfed and web offset 

presses. The Division performs preparatory tasks according 

to specifications for work to be procured from commercial 

sources. It inspects and stores lithographic reproducibles 

manfactured in the plant or commercially. 

The number of press impressions produced by this Division declined from 283.7 million in fiscal year 1974 to 269.6 million in fiscal year 1975, a five percent decrease. This continued decline reflects a trend toward increased procurement 

from commercial sources. 

Successful conversion of United States Passport printing from 

the letterpress process to a combination of dry and wet offset printing was accomplished. A better quality of passport 

printing has resulted. 

Procurement and installation of six 19" x 25" Harris Group 83 

presses with Dahlgren Dampening Systems was completed. These 

presses replaced six obsolete presses which required continuing expensive repairs to remain operational. The new press 

design and improved quality capability will result in better 

printed products at reduced costs. 

The Quality Control and Technical Department is responsible 

for the laboratory testing of paper, inks, bookbinding 

materials, metals, chemicals, and miscellaneous supplies, and 

the manufacture of select supply items. The Department makes 

cost reduction studies and conducts the necessary developmental work to improve quality, effect economies, and resolve 

problems that arise in the Customer Service, Production, and 

Printing Procurement Departments. Technical support is provided to the various quality control elements in the Office 

through the Quality Control Division. Technical support and 

service is also provided to the Joint Committee on Printing 

and customer agencies. 

The total number of material samples tested during the year 

amounted to 11,814. This number represents a sizable decrease 

of 21 percent from last year's total. The decrease is the result of a policy decision made in January 1975 to limit testing to those items bought on specification and to eliminate 

testing of brand name items. The objective was to provide 

additional time for work on cost reduction studies and product 

improvement. 

The Composing Division, through joint effort with this Department realized a reduction of 61 percent in GPO's consumption 

of tinantimony alloy, an expensive type metal correction 

material. This reduction will result in savings in excess of 

$100,000 annually. 

13 
The linotype metal inventory was identified as being excessively high for present production needs and 400,000 pounds 

of this metal were sold and an additional 100,000 pounds were 

offered as partial payment for 100,000 pounds of monotype 

metal.

ASSISTANT PUBLIC PRINTER (l1ANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION) 

It is the responsibility of the Assistant Public Printer for 

Management and Administration (M&A) to provide the support 

services essential to ensure effective functioning of all 

operating Departments of the Office. The Assistant Public 

Printer (M&A) supervises the Comptroller and the Directors 

of Data Systems, Engineering, General Services, Materials 

Management, Personnel and Security; coordinates their 

operations; and advises the Public Printer on policy matters. 

Statistics applicable to these Services are shown on pages 

55 and 56 and certain data are summarized under each Service. 

Fiscal year 1976 will see further implementation and synchronization of the Annual Operating Plan whereby the various 

GPO Management Programs are appropriately integrated to more 

effectively utilize and control GPO resources. Work measurement units and standards will be further refined and will be 

used in justifying manpower needs to accomplish anticipated 

workloads. The budget request by each manager, based on work 

measurement units and standards, will be closely coordinated 

with our "Management by Objectives" program, so that realistic 

goals can be defined and implemented. Several major automation projects are to be further refined and updated, and data 

automation services extended to utilize the full capabilities 

of the IBM 370/145 system to be obtained in fiscal year 1976. 

The Data Systems Service is responsible for providing GPO 

with computerized data processing services and regular reports 

on a timely basis. It also provides technical advice and 

initiates the development of systems and programs which will 

effectively meet office-wide managerial and operating requirements. 

During fiscal year 1975 the Service completed 20 computer 

systems surveys, and was working on 59 others. More than 

300 new computer programs were implemented or were in process, and 296 programs were revised or in the process of 

revision. 

More efficient equipment occupying less space was installed; 

modifications to the existing IBM/360 system provided better 

capability at reduced rental costs. 

The automation of the monthly Foreman's Reporting System was 

completed and implemented. It now requires 2.75 hours of computer time to complete an operation which previously required 

216 hours of electronic accounting machine time plus 33 hours 

of computer time. Reports are now being developed and issued 

more timely. 

The first phase of work-in-process inventory automation has been 

completed and the report time has been reduced from 20 to 10 

workdays with associated cost savings.

Significant 

Achievements 

More timely reporting has resulted from the automation of 

the unit cost books maintained by the Financial Management 

Service. 

The Leave Reporting system has been improved with savings 

resulting in computer processing time, elimination of a file 

of over 4,000 punched tabulating cards, and the elimination 

of about 17,000 printed pages produced annually. An estimated 25 percent of computer processing time is being saved, 

and one 300 page biweekly report has been eliminated due to 

the improvement of payroll programs. 

Production of the index portion of the Documents Area 

Monthly Catalog by means of computer aided photocomposition 

(Linotron) was initiated. This process has reduced production lead time. 

The computer systems were converted to OS/360 in-house in 

three months instead of six to twelve months estimated by 

contractor.· Consequently, service was improved in the 

operation much quicker than estimated. 

The future plan is to commit systems design and computer 

personnel to the priorities established by the Automated 

Data Services Steering Committee. These include replacement 

where justified of installed operating systems by more efficient operating systems, implementation of the Publications 

Receipt and Control System (PRCS), automation of the composition of the Federal Register Program, conversion to 

standard programing languages, the development of formal 

operating standards and procedures for system and program 

development, and the improvement of systems documentation. 

The Engineering Service is responsible for the management 

and maintenance of all GPO facilities, machinery, and equipment in consonance with an effective and safe working 

environment for employees. It provides professional engineering assistance when required for studies, planning, 

systems development, and purchase proposals. The Service is 

composed of Engineering, Industrial Systems, and Buildings 

Divisions and has 490 full time employees. 

Under supervision of the Engineering ServiceJ contract 

construction on Phase II of the GPO's $13 million two phase 

air conditioning project is 70 percent complete and progressing satisfactorily. The refurbishing for use by other 

GPO services of space vacated by Superintendent of Documents 

is proceeding satisfactorily. During the year, the Engineering Service installed over 40 major items of equipment 

throughout the GPO, including six offset presses, eight 

casting machines and two carton sealers. Two large screw 

type air compressors were installed in the power plant to 

meet GPO compressed air requirements.

a plant layout for GPO's Laurel II facility and designed a 

materials handling system for the Order Processing Division. 

It developed a plant layout for enlarging Electronic Photocomposition operations. 

The Engineering Service contributed to preparation of an 

Environmental Impact Statement regarding the GPO's proposed 

relocation. 

During the year, the Service was able to achieve a reduction 

of more than three million kilowatt hours in electric power 

consumption and equally significant reductions of gas, steam, 

and water consumption as a result of its effective implementation of the Energy Conservation Program. 

It is anticipated that the demand for engineering planning 

services will continue at a high level. As the air conditioning project nears completion, attention can be turned to 

planning and updating of a number of drawings and specifications for deferred projects. 

The Financial Management Service provides financial 

management and productivity and work measurement services 

to meet office-wide managerial and operating requirements. 

These services are accomplished through an Accounting 

Systems and Procedures Staff and seven division heads who 

report to the Comptroller. Divisions are established for 

Budget, Cost and Property, Examination and Certification, 

General Accounting, Production Billing, Productivity and 

Work Measurement, and Rates and Investigations. These 

Divisions oversee the effective employment of financial 

resources according to plan and ensure that Government 

Printing Office printing and binding operations obtain 

revenues with which to meet expenses, and that all GPO 

programs are administered within the appropriate resource 

limitations. 

In accordance with office-wide emphasis of planning, control, 

and productivity, a system of budget call estimates was 

initiated by sub-object class and provided to all Departments 

and Services for guidance in preparing their respective 

budget estimates. The estimates are supported by the Budget 

Division's monthly analysis of budgeted costs compared with 

actual costs and include an objective of relating the funds 

requested by each cost center to its projected manpower 

requirements - which in turn are based on work measurement 

units. In addition to objectives which have been formally 

set up for inclusion in the MBO Program, estimates are to 

17 
Future Plans 

GENERAL 

SERVICES 

be added for each functional area in terms of the immediate 

objectives whose attainment is planned during a particular 

fiscal year period. Budgeting, productivity and work 

measurement, and management by objectives are thus interrelated in the planning process. 

The Central Office work-in-process inventory was converted 

from punched cards to disc files. New procedures developing 

out of the automated file system have made possible inventory 

transfers out of work-in-process which correspond to physical 

reality, and made it possible to send out billings for 

finished work in a more timely manner. 

The high volume operation of accounting for bills of lading 

has also been automated and placed on a current basis. 

Automation of the recording of essential pricing data in 

unit cost books was accomplished, eliminating the manual 

posting of data to worksheets. Billing time for printing and 

binding work was, on the average, reduced by 30 percent 

during fiscal year 1975. 

Disbursements as well as billings were expedited. To verify 

GPO expenses for contract printing, freight, paper and 

materials, and other items, fifty voucher examiners processed 

over one quarter million vouchers for payment. Eighty percent of the vouchers presented for payment were processed 

within 10 days following receipt. 

The GPO and Field Service Scale of Prices will be revised and 

updated to assure adequate recovery of costs. An expansion 

of the Budget Program with improvement in budgetary procedures is anticipated. In accordance with continued emphasis 

on our participation in the Federal Productivity Program, 

productivity and work measurement standards will be developed 

for additional areas of the Office. The Property Management 

Program will be improved by development of additional physical inventory procedures for paper and publications for sale. 

Plans are also being implemented to revise the capitalized 

equipment reports. 

Automation of financial systems, which has been designated a 

priority undertaking by the ADP Steering Committee, will be 

implemented in fiscal year 1976. A review and analysis of 

all Financial Management Service operations will be continued 

in an effort to improve paperwork flow and methods and 

develop systems which will provide more accurate and timely 

financial data. 

General Services provides a comprehensive range of general 

and administrative services, management and systems analyses, 

and a responsive management information system in support of 

office-wide managerial and operating requirements. These 

services are achieved through the administration of the

Federal Records Center at St. Louis. It also, supervised 

the GPO pay parking program during its first full year of 

operation, and issued over 1,600 permits for the seven GPO 

parking lots. 

Under the telecommunications program, more than 20,000 teletype messages were sent and over 4,000 incoming messages 

were received. Final measures were taken to implement the 

installation of a new GSA Centrex telephone system, including a modern automatic call distributor. 

In the paperwork management area a n.ew GPO Forms Management 

Program was implemented. A revised version of the GPO 

Directives System modified the level of approval for certain 

policy directives and effectively reduced the flow of 

routine papers to the Office of the Public Printer. Various 

types of word processing equipment were evaluated in an 

operational environment in accordance with the provisions of 

a new directive implementing the Word Processing Program. 

Measures were taken to improve managerial control over purchases of property and services by revising required 

approval levels necessary to initiate purchase orders. 

Management analysis activities extended into a comprehensive 

study of GPO receiving and shipping facilities, with the 

resulting recommendations accepted, but not fully implemented at the end of the year. An analysis of GPO administrative postage charges for fiscal year 1975 resulted in 

payments to the Postal Service being reduced from $498,000 

to $273,190, a savings of $224,810. 

Broader participation in the paperwork management area is 

anticipated. Areas which are to receive attention include 

the revision of record retention schedules, the central 

files area, correspondence control, and word processing. An 

important planning project is the telecommunications system 

required for the proposed new GPO building. The Space 

Management program will continue to require major effort in 

planning the utilization of areas in the Central Office 

which have been vacated by Documents functions moving to 

other locations.

maintaining stores inventories and current inventory records 

of paper, envelopes, materials and supplies; initiating and 

accounting for the shipment of government post cards; and 

providing authorized support to Government Printing Office 

operations and customer agencies. 

More than 10,000 purchase orders were issued during fiscal 

year 1975. The dollar value of procurement activities 

during the year amounted to $60.7 million, which represents 

a decrease of $32.9 million compared with the previous fiscal year, a decline of 37 percent. A major cause of this 

decline is a 40 percent decrease in expenditures for blank 

paper and envelopes and a 37 percent decline in pounds of 

paper purchased. Fiscal year 1974 corresponded to a period 

of paper shortage in the United States. It was a period of 

high price and low availability, with the result that 

Federal agencies and contractors turned to the GPO as the 

only available source of supply. By fiscal year 1975, 

conditions had eased and there was, for example, a 15 percent decline in the value of paper furnished contractors. 

A relatively small increase of 12 percent in materials and 

supplies expenditures during fiscal year 1975 is attributable to normal inflationary trends and a five percent 

increase in the number of purchase requests processed. A 

reduction of $6.1 million in services, transportation, 

communications, and travel as compared with fiscal year 1974 

is the result of a $8.5 million decrease in postal charges, 

offset by a $2.4 million increase in the cost of GSA space 

rentals. 

The Traffic Division negotiated reduced freight rates with 

various shippers as authorized under Section 22 of the 

Interstate Commerce Commission Act, resulting in a savings 

to the Government Printing Office of approximately $718,110. 

The Materials Management Service will continue its performance of purchasing and contracting activities so as to 

obtain promptly and on the best possible terms the goods and 

services necessary to perform GPO activities. It will be 

working together with the Financial Management Service to 

improve inventory procedures in order to ensure effective 

control and the optimum use of resources. 

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

The first executive retreat for top GPO officials was 

planned and conducted in the fall of 1974. The 2 1/2 day 

conference, which was held at the Belmont Center in 

Maryland, provided a group process workshop designed to 

develop team-building techniques among executive level 

managers. 

A Drug Abuse Program was established with publication of a 

GPO Instruction on the subject, dated November 13, 1974. 

This rehabilitation program, along with the Alcoholism 

Program is conducted in the Occupational Health Division by 

staff advisors under the supervision of the Medical Officer. 

The Employment Branch was reorganized into two areas of 

functional ~esponsibility - the Staffing Section and the 

Special Programs and Employee Assistance Section. This 

action will permit more efficient use of resources and 

eliminate the need for the Assistant Chief, Employment 

Branch. 

The Position Management Branch identified and described 24 

"bridge jobs" to implement the new Upward Mobility Program 

of the Government Printing Office. These jobs serve as 

"bridges" to positions having higher level duties. 

The number of employees availing themselves of the services 

of the personnel counselor increased by approximately 50 

percent. The advice offered was expanded to include such 

areas as medicare, housing, and veterans affairs. 

In the area of supervisory training, the Career Development 

Branch is currently in the process of formalizing the onthe-job training phase of the Supervisory Development course 

(GP0-1) and revising the Management Development course 

(GP0-2). The Supervisory Safety Program will be implemented 

for approximately 500 supervisors. 

As part of the Office's Upward Mobility Program, the hiring 

and training of at least 25 unskilled worker-trainees to be 

qualified clerk-typists is anticipated. 

With over 95 percent of GPO employees represented by labor 

organizations, the Labor-Management program has become 

increasingly significant. It is anticipated that GPO 

Instruction 630.1A, Labor Management Relations in the 

Government Printing Office, will soon be revised to reflect 

the greatly expanded scope of bargaining in the Federal

The Security Service provides a program of security for 

Government Printing Office personnel and plant facilities, 

including law enforcement, investigative and protective services in support of office-wide managerial requirements and 

policies. 

At the beginning of the fiscal year, the number of assaults 

on GPO employees in close proximity to GPO Central Office 

increased and caused considerable concern for the safety of 

GPO employees. To deal with the problem, special police 

patrols were established for the areas immediately adjacent 

to Central Office facilities. As a result of the intense 

patrolling and increased police visibility, no further 

assaults or robberies of GPO employees have been reported 

from approximately early August 1974, when the outside 

patrolling was instituted. 

As a result of closing a non-essential employee entrance, 

five protective service personnel were reassigned to provide 

security coverage for newly acquired leased office and warehouse space. Two other posts were determined non-essential 

and discontinued, releasing three men for other duties. 

These realinements of protective coverage saved approximately 

$96,000 annually. 

In order to increase the efficiency and capabilities of our 

protective service force, a program was established to provide formalized professional training to a selected number 

of personnel at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, 

Department of the Treasury. Twenty-seven special policemen 

and nine supervisory policemen were trained during fiscal 

year 1975. 

Manpower utilization will be scrutinized to eliminate 

unnecessary tasks and insure that personnel are utilized in 

the most efficient and productive manner. Efforts will 

continue to develop and maintain a highly efficient and 

professional security force.

ASSISTANT PUBLIC PRINTER (SUPERINTENDENT OF DOCUMENTS) 

The major responsibilities of the Office of the Assistant 

Public Printer (Superintendent of Documents) are the sale of 

government publications, the compilation of catalogs and 

indexes of government publications, the distribution of 

government publications to depository libraries, and the 

mailing of publications for Members of Congress and Government agencies. The Office fulfills these responsibilities 

through the Documents Sales Service, the Documents Support 

Service, and the Library and Statutory Distribution Service. 

Statistics applicable to these Services are shown on page 57 

and certain data are commented on below. 

The Superintendent of Documents receives approximately two 

and one-half million letters of inquiry and four and onehalf million sales orders annually. In addition, more than 

one-half million customers are served by twenty five government bookstores. During'fiscal year 1975, 131 million 

publications were distributed, including 38.2 million 

publications distributed at the expense of other Government 

agencies, and 11.8 million publications distributed to 

1,170 depository libraries. During the year over 43,000 

documents were cataloged, and mailing lists containing 3.2 

million addresses were maintained. Total sales to the public 

amounted to $34.5 million of which $4 million were derived 

from bookstore sales. 

Increases in sales and in the requirements of the Depository 

Library Program are expected to be moderate in terms of 

volume; emphasis will be placed on achieving a significant 

improvement in the quality of operations. A major objective 

of the Superintendent of Documents will continue to be the 

increased use of modern data processing technology in order 

to reduce order processing time and to perform all of the 

necessary cataloging, sales, and distribution functions 

with greater efficiency. 

PRCS, an on-line, interactive data base, ADP teleprocessing 

system, designed to automate the warehouse inventory control 

of the approximate 25,000 titles of bulk warehoused 

publications became operational on December 23, 1974. The 

total system is comprised of 17 transactions program modules. 

It tracks bulk publications from the time a printing order 

is initiated through the warehouse receiving, locating, and 

subsequent shipping to users. There are 192 data elements 

available in the data base for use by 20 workstation 

terminals. The daily transactions processed through these 

workstations are being accumulated and manipulated to produce 

11 different daily management information batch reports and 

9 weekly summary reports. Some adjustment and modifications 

will be required for perhaps the first year of operations.

It also distributes selected documents through two distribution centers. 

Planning and development began on a direct, on-line subscription fulfillment system in the Order Division. This 30 month 

project has the highest priority under the data automation 

plan for Documents. A project group comprised of personnel 

from Documents and Data Systems Service was established to 

carry out the project. With the exception of a limited number of essential modifications, the current system will be 

frozen, pending implementation of the new subscription fulfillment system. The new system is scheduled to be operational by December 1977. 

Investigation began in March 1975 into methods and types of 

hardware and software that might be used in implementing the 

first phase of an automated system for processing and controlling retail orders for publications. The initial objective 

is to centralize reference data input and establish a single, 

on-line file for Order Division personnel to use for reference and to produce picking tickets. Further steps will be 

continued during the next fiscal year as part of the data 

automation plan. Efforts to purify the existing microfiche 

publications reference file (PRF) were ongoing throughout the 

year, and significant improvement was made. 

The reduction of our mailing list for "Selected U.S. Government Publications" commenced. When completed, it is anticipated that this reduction program will reduce the cost of 

printing and mailing "Selected U.S. Government Publications" 

more than $400,000 per year. 

The Documents Support Service is comprised of three divisions 

which are responsible for directing work-supporting and management services. The Administrative Division is charged with 

correspondence control, personnel program administration in 

liaison with Personnel Service and clerical and mailing supply 

management. The primary functions of the Analysis and Review 

Division are the analyses, 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.

SERVICE 

The Daily Status Report was expanded to include 115 different 

operations being tracked daily in the system. A high of 510 

productive man-days of effort has been recorded. Important 

features added during the year include man-days of direct effort applied, the daily computation of units processed per 

man-day, the daily computation of a ninety-day moving average 

of production per man-day for most operations, and a daily 

computation of the percentage of average work produced. 

Productivity became more closely scrutinized by GPO top management as backlogs mounted. After five months of analysis 

by Support Service personnel and adoption of new procedures 

in the Receipts Branch, productivity increased 18.5 percent 

in opening and certifying new incoming mail. This improvement contributed to the reduction of the average daily backlog from 35,190 for the month of January 1975 to 10,000 for 

June 1975. 

During May 1975, the development of a new pr1c1ng concept was 

undertaken to revise the scale of prices for publications 

sold to the public that will allow for pricing more closely 

associated with costs. This is in line with comments made in 

the GAO report dated November 19, 1974, entitled "Pricing of 

Publications Sold to the Public." The objective of implementing the revised pricing scale is to assure the recovery of all 

General Sales Program costs and to return the Sales Program to 

a self-sustaining basis. Implementation is anticipated for 

January 1976. 

Deposit accounts recordkeeping has been computerized. Statements were prepared by computer and in the mail by the lOth 

workday of the month. An aggressive campaign was begun to 

purge the files of accounts which had been inactive for three 

years or longer. Microfilm of the deposit account statements 

is being prepared by Computer Operations Division as a byproduct of the statement preparation. 

This Service is responsible for compilation of catalogs and 

indexes of government documents, distribution of government 

documents to depository libraries and mailing of documents 

for Members of Congress and Government agencies in accordance 

with Titles 1 and 44 of the United States Code. In fiscal 

year 1975, over 43,000 documents were cataloged and indexed. 

Eighteen new depository libraries were designated bringing the 

total number to 1,170. The number of publications distributed to these libraries increased by 11 percent compared to 

fiscal year 1974, from 10.6 million to 11.8 million. The number of statutory distributions was reduced by 26 percent, from 

51.9 million publications to 38.2 million. There has been a 

40 percent reduction in such distributions over the two-vear 

period since fiscal year 1973, when the number of publications 

distributed was 64 million. 

25 
Significant 

Achievements 

The reorganization and relocation of the Service has resulted 

in the acceleration of depository distribution through installation of better handling equipment, adequacy of space and increased personnel. This is borne out by the tripling of production during the last six months of the year over the first 

six months.

~/ Accounts Receivable Government is net of $188 thousand allowance for 

doubtful accounts established during fiscal year 1975. 

11 Publications for sale inventory is net of $2,620 thousand, allowance 

for unsalable publications, and is computed using the retail inventory 

pricing method. Printing work-in-process represents in-plant work 

at standard value. Paper, envelopes and other supplies are composed 

of $10,858 thousand for paper and envelopes using the first-in, firstout (FIFO) method of valuation and $3,795 thousand for materials and 

supplies computed on a moving average basis. 

~/ Accounts Payable does not include a contingent liability of $19,686 

thousand for the net value of sick leave earned and accumulated by 

employees of the Government Printing Office. 

5/ Printing and Binding services performed for Government Agencies and 

Congress include intra-office sales of $17,184 thousand and related 

profit for Printing and Binding work performed for the Superintendent 

of Documents Sales Program. 

~/ Other funds represent $4.6 million for the acquisition of a new site 

for the Government Printing Office, the book value of $1,948 thousand 

for Government Printing Office buildings, the Superintendent of 

Documents' furniture, machinery and equipment with a book value of 

$990 thousand less the Superintendent of Documents' accrued annual 

leave for employees of $533 thousand. 

21 Unliquidated obligations and estimates to complete open commitments 

as of June 30, 1975, include $23.4 million which has been authorized 

by Congress to be paid from appropriations for subsequent fiscal years. 

34 
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

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

basis of accounting except for Sales of Publications Operations revenue 

from subscription sales which is on the cash basis for one year subscriptions. 

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 is 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 straightline 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 Operations is recognized 

when entered into work-in-process. 

Revenue generated by the Sales of Publications Operations is recognized 

when non-subscription publications have been shipped or when services have 

been performed; revenue from one year subscriptions is recognized when 

the funds are received or customers are billed. 

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.
