        FY 1998 APPROPRIATIONS REQUEST
 
        For FY 1998, we are requesting $114.5 million for those programs
that require annual appropriations directly to GPO.  This is an increase
of $3.8 million, or 3.4 percent, over the funding approved for FY 1997.
However, it is also $1.2 million, or 2.6 percent, less than the amounts
appropriated 5 years ago.  The request includes $84 million for the
Congressional Printing and Binding Appropriation and $30.5 million for the
Salaries and Expenses Appropriation of the Superintendent of Documents.
The increase is due primarily to general price level increases, although
for congressional printing there are also workload increases in various
product categories that are typical for a second session of Congress.
