Inside Look at GPO's Congressional Record Prepress

A new video from the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) explains the work that goes on at night to deliver the Congressional Record in print and online the next morning. The Production of the Congressional Record video (4 min, 51 sec) is on GPO's YouTube channel along with other informative presentations on GPO's work and products.
