Approximately 4,551 copies of the Congressional Record are printed daily. The “Congressional Record Printing Savings Act” would require that the distribution of the printed edition be limited to archival purposes and those copies explicitly requested by the vice president or members of Congress.
“With the majority of today’s documents available online, the time for Congress to put an end to its arcane printing habits is long overdue,” said Coburn. “The American people expect us to make these common sense decisions, which can produce millions in savings. Printing thousands of unwanted copies of the Congressional Record with borrowed money represents the kind of activity taxpayers have called on us to end.”
