The United States Government Printing Office (GPO) was created in June 1860, and is an agency of the the U.S. federal government based in Washington D.C. The office prints documents produced by and for the federal government, including Congress, the Supreme Court, the Executive Office of the President and other executive departments, and independent agencies. The Congressional Record first started in 1873 and is still published every time Congress is in session. The Record is the official recordings of the proceedings and debates of the U.S. Congress. It consists of the Daily Digest, House section, Senate section, and Extension of Remarks, all of which provide public proceedings and debates with actual words spoken from both the floor and government officials. This is one of those Daily Records.
