SUBJlX:'r: Publication of a Journa.l 

FROM: GC · 

l. Answers to quei:itions in Paragraph 3 of Comment No. l are e.a follovs: 

a. Under the provisions of 220. U.S.C. 44, Budget Bureau ap;proval. is 

required tor the printing of periodicals. However, Budget Bureau Circul.&r 

No. A-3, revised, of August 6, 1954, exemp-ts from this requirement;, "into:rma- . ticn required exclusively- for the off-lcial use of the issuing ottice or ser ... vice in the ·transaction cf its routine business". The proposed journal outlined in Paza&ra.ph 2 of Comnent No . 1 appears to tall vi thin this exception 

so that· Budget Bureau approval is not required. 

b. Funds currently available for 1Df'orma.t1on and training acti vi- · 

ties may proper~ be used t'or the preparation of the prG]iiOsecl journal and 

funds currently· available for printing and ·bind:i.ng may be used for prblting 

· the Jour.nal. Therefore, no ~pecial s.ppropriat:i.on is 1·equ1red ~ 

c. The principal res·triction on the use of illustrations is t.'ith 

respect to color .. Umitations.on the use of more than one color a.re contained in Pm."agra.ph 13 of t.he Go-irermnen"t Printing end Binding Regulations, July l, 

1954. . . 

2. In general, there should be 11.0 legal obJection the publication ~ the 

proposed Journal provided ca.re 1s taken to st~ within the llm1 taUons of Budget Bureau Circular No. A-3, t7ith ·the respect to ·the contents of the journal, 

and the Government. Printing and Bin.ding Rego.lla.tions~ vlth· respect to its pre- paration.
