Report on Federal Information Dissemination: Responses to Decision Analysis Framework for GPO (Government Printing Office) Strategic Alternatives

摘要

To address the issues, OTA has developed a decision analysis framework to collect data and opinions as a prelude to the establishment of meaningful alternatives that will best serve the American people, the Federal infrastructure and the GPO. The specific task of the report was an evaluation of GPO technology, products and relationships with its 'customers.' To accomplish the task it was necessary to develop alternative sources of data since neither GPO nor any other Government entity maintains the kind of information considered necessary to understand and analyze many relevant aspects. The result is a 'snapshot' of Federal information as viewed from the standpoint of the GPO and sample Executive agencies.
