Political Quotes

“I am pleased to bring to the attention of the House the following article about the Government Printing Office from the December 1998 issue of In-Plant Graphics which describes the GPO as ``Better Than Ever.'' As a case in point, the article describes GPO's first-rate production and dissemination of the six-volume, 8,327-page Starr Report from last September, a mammoth production job for which the distinguished chairman of the House Judiciary Committee (Mr. Hyde) has thoughtfully commended the agency. The article correctly notes that GPO receives little national attention. The fact is, we in Congress could not perform our legislative duties without the timely, professional, non-partisan support of the GPO. Nor could millions of our constituents enjoy an easy, no-cost path to over 140,000 government publications without GPO Access, an electronic gateway to more than 70 federal databases. Mr. Speaker, as we conduct the people's business, let's remember that we could not do so without the support of many others, including the dedicated professionals of the Government Printing Office.”
