WASHINGTON— Public Printer Robert C. Tapella announced the formation of a new business unit that will better serve two of GPO’s most important customers, the U.S. Congress and the Office of the Federal Register. The creation of the Official Journals of Government business unit is part of GPO’s Strategic Vision for the 21st Century, which is a plan to better serve agency customers and the American people. This unit will oversee the print and electronic requests for two daily newspapers, The Congressional Record and The Federal Register. Official Journals of Government will also process work for Senate and House bills, reports, hearings, documents, laws and other Congressional publications. GPO’s Office of Congressional Publishing Services will become part of this unit.Jim Bradley, GPO’s Managing Director of Customer Services, will move to this new business unit as its managing director. For more than a decade, Bradley has led GPO in providing printing procurement, web design and creative services consultation to Congress and federal agencies. His leadership in customer outreach and satisfaction has helped GPO become a more efficient and customer-driven agency. Bradley was responsible for such key publications such as The Budget of the U.S. Government, The 9-11 Commission Report and Medicare and You. He was also involved in agency work on U.S. Census products. Before coming to GPO in 1996, Bradley served for 14 years in Congress as a professional staff member for the Joint Committee on Printing.
“By giving this business unit its own identity, it will build on the high standards of customer service we already have in place for Congress and the Office of Federal Register,” said Public Printer Robert C. Tapella. “Jim’s institutional knowledge of GPO, Congress and federal agencies makes him a natural choice to lead this important unit.”
The GPO is the Federal Government’s primary centralized resource for gathering, cataloging, producing, providing, authenticating, and preserving published U.S. Government information in all its forms. GPO is responsible for the production and distribution of information products and services for all three Branches of the Federal Government. In addition to publication sales, GPO makes government information available at no cost to the public through GPO Access (www.gpoaccess.gov), and through partnerships with more than 1,250 libraries nationwide participating in the Federal Depository Library Program. www.gpo.gov
