Debates in Congress focus on the government printing office and private printers. Tawney blasts a 50 percent rise in tabular work costs and 20 percent on other work over six months, urging reform of lump-sum appropriations and discretionary charges. Crumpacker and Landis defend or modify policy, noting past changes and the need to protect departments while ensuring timely census printing. The Senate concurs with the amendment as lawmakers seek to curb excessive costs and dependence on one printer.
