Support of the FY 2008 Appropriations Request of the U.S. Government Printing Office
Like every other federal agency, the Government Printing Office has been operating under a continuing resolution which has held it to FY 2006 funding, and here we are just 5 months from FY 2008.
On May 1, 2007, Mary Alice Baish of the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) testified in support of full funding for the Government Printing Office (GPO) before the House Committee on Appropriations for AALL and the Special Libraries Association (SLA).
Read Baish's full statement then contact your Members of Congress and insist they fully fund the GPO so that "it is able to fulfill its mission of disseminating the Federal government information of all three branches of Government."
A vote on this budget request is expected before Memorial Day, but it could come any time.
