FDLP Listserv: “On March 17, Public Printer Bill Boarman testified before the Senate appropriations subcommittee on the costs of producing Federal publications, such as the Congressional Record. Subsequently, the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) made a YouTube video on the production of the Congressional Record to illustrate the production process for this important publication. With origins in the requirement of Article I of the Constitution that “Congress shall keep a journal of its proceedings…and from time to time publish the same,” the Congressional Record contains the proceedings and debates of the Senate and House of Representatives. It has been called “a symbol of our democracy through which the people may observe the making of their laws and may hold their lawmakers accountable for their words and deeds.”
