The estimate shows a slight increase in pages for both categories of work as well as the anticipated rate increase.

PRINTING AND BINDING APPROPRIATION SAVINGS

Question. You apparently have been able to achieve some very impressive savings in your regular Congressional Record program the one that prints copies of the Record for distribution off "The Hill." Last year you estimated it would cost $15.7 million to print 16,000 daily copies. This year it will cost, according to your justification, $13.6 million to print 15,300 copies. How have you managed to achieve such substantial cost savings in this one program?

Answer. As stated in the previous question on the Congressional Record Program, costs are pro-rated between the two appropriations based on the number of copies chargeable to each. The number of copies of the Bound Record for the Printing and Binding Appropriation has materially dropped due to microfiching of copies for the Depository Program and, therefore, this appropriation is bearing a much smaller cost for the Bound Record which impacts on the total program costs.

QUESTIONS SUBMITTED BY SENATOR ERNEST F. HOLLINGS

DEA PUBLICATION

We are informed that the Drug Enforcement Administration has produced a best-seller, "Drug Agents Guide to Forfeiture of Assets." (GPO #027-004-00034-2). Apparently, this publication is now out of print and State and local drug enforcement agencies are clamoring to obtain copies. How much of this publication does the Superintendent of Documents have on hand for sale to interested parties?

Answer. The Superintendent of Documents currently has no copies of this publication available in the Sales inventory.

Question. Have there been any discussions between GPO and DEA regarding the printing of additional copies?

Answer. Yes. Unfortunately, there was a misunderstanding between personnel in the two agencies, and the Superintendent of Documents did not obtain additional copies when the Drug Enforcement Administration ordered the reprinting of the publication.

Question. Does GPO plan to print additional copies of this publication?

Answer. Yes. An additional 1,000 copies have been ordered for the Sales Program.

SUBCOMMITTEE RECESS

Senator MATTINGLY. We will make the change. OK? Does anybody else have any other comments? It's great to have a good breath of fresh air going through here. We have had other people also to testify that have brought in some fresh air. I intend to help the rest of them along. [Laughter.]

Today it is my pleasure to hear from the Library of Congress. The Hon. Daniel J. Boorstin, Librarian of Congress will be the first witness. Welcome, Dr. Boorstin.

Dr. BOORSTIN. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Senator MATTINGLY. We are glad to have you here on this Friday after a full night session in the U.S. Senate. I think I may be the only Senator living and breathing at this time of the morning.

With that, you may go ahead with your statement.

Dr. BOORSTIN. Thank you, Senator. I have a very brief statement I would like to read if I may.

Mr. Chairman, I especially appreciate the opportunity that you are giving us to present to you our 1983 budget for the Library of Congress. We are requesting a total of $223,760,000 for 1983.

Today, more than ever before, we need to draw on all the knowledge of the past and remain informed of the day-to-day progress in the present to enable us to make the most of all our resources. Knowledge is the catalyst and economizer of our economy.
