File Description [top]

The GPO Monthly Catalog (Government Printing Office) is the machine-readable equivalent of the printed Monthly Catalog of United States Government Publications. It contains records of reports, studies, fact sheets, maps, handbooks, conference proceedings, etc., issued by all U.S. federal government agencies, including the U.S. Congress. Also included in this database are records of all of the Senate and House hearings on private and public bills and laws. The GPO Monthly Catalog contains a wealth of information on a wide range of topics including agriculture, economics, energy research, public policy, tax reform, business law, health, and many other subjects.

All agencies of the U.S. Federal Government are sources of government publications. Congressional publications include bills, hearings, reports, documents from the committees and subcommittees, and laws from Congress acting as a body. Executive-branch publications include Presidential statements as well as agency annual reports, general informational and operational reports, long-established statistical series, technical reports, maps, administrative regulations, treaties, and periodicals. Other sources are the independently established agencies and government corporations and the various boards and committees whose functions are not strictly limited to the internal operation of a parent department or agency, e.g., the Water Resources Council.
