[District Dispatch] Call your senators now! Markup of bill appropriating
Government Printing Office funds set for today

The Senate Committee on Appropriations will hold a markup of the
Legislative Branch Appropriations bill that includes the funding for the
Government Printing Office at 2 p.m. today.  As we have discussed in
previous blog posts
<http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/LIRCQNSKMD/EGVOQNSKWA/7334402676> , it is
important that in this difficult financial time people make their wishes
known on how the government should allocate the spending tax dollars. 

 

The Government Printing Office (GPO) is an invaluable resource in
ensuring that the public has access to government information.
Appropriations for the GPO fund the Federal Depository Library Program
(FDLP), and it is important that we ask for an additional $7 million to
be specified for further development of the Federal Digital System
(FDsys).  FDsys is the gateway to greater access and preservation for
government documents, allowing the public to locate documents from any
computer with an Internet connection. 

 

Please take a moment today to contact your senators and express the
importance of continued and expanded funding for the Government Printing
Office.  For information on how to contact your senators and talking
points, please visit the Legislation Action Center
