Excerpt (pp. 28-29): "Over the past year, the Public Printer has spoken with employees, stakeholders, and the Congress to help focus and refine a vision for GPO's future. On April 28, 2004, the Public Printer made his most clear and direct statement of his vision for GPO thus far, stating that GPO has 'begun to develop a new vision for the GPO: an agency whose primary mission will be to capture digitally, organize, maintain, authenticate, distribute, and provide permanent public access to the information products and services of the federal government.'
