Excerpt
Excerpt: Washington, D.C.-After a year of successful restructuring at the Government Printing Office (GPO), Public Printer of the United States Bruce James told the Committee on House Administration and the House Legislative Appropriations Subcommittee today the GPO now has the groundwork in place to move the agency’s transformation to the next level. “From this point forward we will complete a strategic plan for the future of the GPO as the Government’s primary resource for gathering, cataloging, producing, providing, and preserving its published information in all forms,” James said. “The GPO is at the very epicenter of technological change that is upending virtually every aspect of Federal information policy. There is no time for us to rest on our laurels from successes achieved long ago. The 19th century is not coming back.” GPO is seeking investment funds for essential technology improvements to modernize document-handling systems that will reduce future costs. To that end, the GPO is requesting $25 million to support the acquisition of digital equipment and systems to manage the life cycle of Government information. “This will allow us to implement the strategic plan we are preparing and move the GPO firmly into a digital future,” James said.
