CONGRESSIONAL PRINTING, FISCAL 1961

Mr. STEED. On page 3 of the justifications, in one of the columns, there is the amount of $11,700,000 and I assume that is your present estimate for the cost of fiscal 1961 business?

Mr. HARRISON. That is right.

Mr. STEED. Under the facts as you know them, that is about the best you can firm it up at this time?"

Mr. HARRISON. Yes, sir. As I said in my statement, it is utterly impossible to make an accurate estimate of what the congressional printing is going to cost in advance.

CONGRESSIONAL PRINTING, FISCAL 1962

Mr. STEED. In regard to the lump-sum request, I note that $13.5 million of the $15.2 million requested for 1963 is identified with 1963 business, which would indicate that $1.7 million is to cover previous overdrafts; is that right?

Mr. CRISTOFANE. Yes, sir.

Mr. STEED. Do you have any estimate yet, or a reliable figure on what the fiscal 1962 situation would be?

Mr. HARRISON. No, sir.

Mr. CRISTOFANE. We would not have that available until after the 30th of June next and then we use the outstanding obligations for congressional printing and binding and make a review of them and prepare an estimate based on the best information at that time to determine the total estimated requirements.

Mr. STEED. Would it be fair to assume that this item would be at least as heavy in 1962 as it was in 1961, since the $10 million is obviously inadequate?

Mr. CRISTOFANE. Yes, sir.

Mr. HARRISON. At least that much, if not more.

Mr. STEED. Do you think the new figure would be enough to put you more in a current situation so that this put-and-take system would be pretty well balanced off?

Mr. HARRISON. I do not believe it will do it this fiscal year we are talking about, Mr. Chairman. I think the following fiscal year should pretty well put us even because we do not know now how much we

81771-62-15

are going to need. We feel that the $13.5 million will pay the costs in 1963, but we do not know how much more we are going to owe for 1962 until after June 30.

We would hope that with this amount we would not run in the red during the actual operation of fiscal year 1963.

Mr. STEED. What effect will the rate adjustments you referred to have on this?

Mr. HARRISON. It will have some, of course. The cost of the Congressional Record has increased and I think percentagewise the cost of congressional printing will increase that much.

You might remember this is the first price increase since 1953. There have been increases in salaries every year and also materials and supplies.

COMPARISON OF CONGRESSIONAL PRINTING COSTS BY FISCAL YEARS 1952–62

Mr. STEED. Would it be possible to prepare a table on these 12 items by years, let us say going back to 1954 or 1955, something like that, to show actual expenditures? Give us some comparative facts. Mr. HARRISON. The cost of congressional printing, Congressman? Mr. STEED. Of the 12 items on page 3.

Mr. CRISTOFANE. For how many years back?

Mr. STEED. 1954, or a reasonable number of years which would give us a pretty clear picture of the trends.

Mr. HORAN. Why not make it 10 years? Are those available? Mr. HARRISON. We have it for the period from 1952 through February 28, 1962, which we will furnish for the record.

MISCELLANEOUS PRINTING AND BINDING

Mr. STEED. Under item No. 3 on page 5, who are the main customers you deal with under that?

Mr. CRISTOFANE. This classification consists of letter heads, envelopes (other than document and speech envelopes), blank paper, copy paper, notices, tags, labels, payrolls, blank books, stenographic notebooks, tablets, wall calendars, miscellaneous blank forms and miscellaneous binding for both Houses of Congress. In general, this classification covers all printing other than book or pamphlet work and all binding that is ordered separately and at a later date than the printing. Requisitions for the processing of these orders are received from the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House.
