| Description of Services: |
The mission of the GPO is
the production or procurement of printing for Congress
and the agencies of the federal government. GPO also
disseminates information to the public through the
Superintendent of Documents publications, sales, and
depository library programs. Through its documents
program, GPO disseminates what is possibly the largest
volume of informational literature in the world. The
Superintendent of Documents offers approximately 17,000
titles to the public at any given time. These are sold
principally by mail order and through a series of
bookstores across the country. The GPO is accessible on
the World Wide Web at this URL address: http://www.gpo.gov/

| Primary Focus: |
GPO's primary mandate is to
facilitate the printing of Congressional work in an
efficient and cost-effective manner. The Congressional
Record and Federal Register are printed daily. Although
often referred to as the "Nation's largest
publisher," the Superintendent of Documents neither
initiates nor exercises control over the publications GPO
sells. Virtually all government publications are issued
by Congress and the various government agencies. GPO
prints or procures the printing of these publications and
distributes them through its sales and/or depository
programs. |
