GPO Facing Formidable Challenges
Still, he stresses, he is not against GPO.
"I think GPO is unfairly maligned by OMB and...by a lot of people," he continues. "I think they really do a good job. However...changes need to be made in the GPO system."

"Why are we perpetuating or supporting a low-bid system like GPO has? What we ought to be doing is encouraging the government to buy printing...similar to the way printers sell printing to the private market."
