    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 22, 2019 No. 19-20 GPO MEDIA CONTACT: GARY SOMERSET 202.512.1957 | mb 202.355.3997 | [email protected] GPO AND LAW LIBRARY OF CONGRESS WILL DIGITIZE NATION’S MOST TREASURED PUBLICATION WASHINGTON – The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO), in collaboration with the Law Library of Congress, has started a large multi-year effort to digitize and make accessible volumes of the U.S. Congressional Serial Set back to the first volume, which was published in 1817. The United States Congressional Serial Set, commonly referred to as the Serial Set, is a compilation of all numbered House and Senate reports and documents, including executive reports and treaty documents, issued for each session of Congress. As a chronicle of events of the U.S. Congress over the years, the Serial Set is one of the Nation’s most treasured publications. Some interesting information the public can expect to find in the Serial Set includes: Maps and reports of explorations of the West Reports of explorations and surveys for the Pacific Railroad Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents, 1789–1897 (Includes Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln) Annual Report of the Boys Scouts of America, dating back to 1924 “GPO is honored to partner with the Law Library of Congress on this massive effort toward digitizing the entire Serial Set,” said GPO Acting Deputy Director John Crawford. “Through this digitization, members of the public will be able to digitally access comprehensive and detailed information on a wide range of subjects useful for genealogical and biographical research.

Margeton** Professor Margeton outlines the history of federal legislative history research, tracing the achievements of Washington, D.C., area law librarians and the Law Librarians' Society of the District of Columbia in compiling legislative histories, creating cooperative programs, and improving access to congressionalmaterials. I. Introduction From somewhat humble beginnings in the post-New Deal era, law librarians in Washington, D.C., have made collecting legislative history documents and building extensive collections of congressional enactments a career avocation. This brief history highlights "some major developments during the past fifty years and recognizes legislative librarians who have made notable contributions. Today it is not unusual for law firms in the Washington area and, occasionally, elsewhere to employ librarians to follow legislative develop- ments in the United States Congress.

  • Congressional Access to National Security Information: Precedents from the Washington Administration
    2009-002846 May 22, 2009 LAW LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CONGRESSIONAL ACCESS TO NATIONAL SECURITY INFORMATION: PRECEDENTS FROM THE WASHINGTON ADMINISTRATION Louis Fisher Specialist in Constitutional Law Executive Summary In testimony and legal analysis, the executive branch often cites precedents established during the Washington Administration to claim that the President has exclusive and plenary authority over national security information and may deny such documents and papers to Congress. Frequently cited is the decision by President George Washington in 1796 to refuse to give the House of Representatives papers it requested concerning the Jay Treaty. Upon closer examination, precedents from the Washington Administration do not support the claim of exclusive and plenary authority by the President. If this were the case, presidential authority to withhold from Members of Congress this type of information would prevent lawmakers from discharging their constitutional duties over legislation, oversight, and investigation. During the period of the Washington Administration, both houses of Congress regularly obtained national security documents and papers and have continued to receive such information to fulfill their constitutional obligations. Executive Branch Position On May 14, 2009, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee held a hearing on “The Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2009.” Mr. Rajesh De, representing the position of the Department of Justice, referred to precedents from the Washington Administration to claim that the President has exclusive control over national security information and Congress may not interfere with that control.1 The Department’s position about presidential control over national security information has a direct bearing on the constitutional capacity of Congress to perform its oversight and investigative duties.

  • Legislative Branch Appropriations for Fiscal Year 2018
    LEGISLATIVE BRANCH APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2018 U.S. SENATE, SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS, Washington, DC. [CLERK’S NOTE.—The subcommittee was unable to hold hearings on departmental and nondepartmental witnesses. The statements and letters of those submitting written testimony are as follows:] DEPARTMENTAL WITNESSES PREPARED STATEMENT OF THE GOVERNMENT PUBLISHING OFFICE Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee on Legislative Branch Appro- priations, I am pleased to present the appropriations request of the U.S. Govern- ment Publishing Office (GPO) for fiscal year 2018. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT PUBLISHING OFFICE GPO is the OFFICIAL, DIGITAL, SECURE resource for producing, procuring, cat- aloging, indexing, authenticating, disseminating, and preserving the official informa- tion products of the Federal Government. Under Title 44 of the U.S. Code, GPO is responsible for the production and dis- tribution of information products for all three branches of the Government, includ- ing the official publications of Congress and the White House, U.S. passports for the Department of State, and the official publications of other Federal agencies and the courts. Once primarily a printing operation, we are now an integrated publishing operation and carry out our mission using an expanding range of digital as well as conventional formats. In 2014, Congress and the President recognized this change in Public Law 113–235, which contains a provision re-designating GPO’s official name as the Government Publishing Office. We currently employ about 1,700 staff. Along with sales of publications in digital and tangible formats to the public, we support openness and transparency in Government by providing permanent public access to Federal Government information at no charge through our Federal Digital System (FDsys, at www.fdsys.gov) and its newly introduced successor system govinfo (www.govinfo.gov).
