GPO Announces Launch of New Federal Digital System “I am pleased to announce the launch of FDsys, GPO's new Federal Digital System, an innovative tool to enable Americans and people worldwide to search and access the documents of the U.S. government. FDsys is a one-stop site on which to find current, authentic, published information from all three branches of the U.S. government.” “I am especially pleased with our new Daily Compilation of Presidential Documents, which includes releases from the White House Press Office and remarks made by the President. FDsys also offers search capabilities to find documents released by Members of Congress and Congressional Committees, using only keyword and date information.” “Please take a few moments to view the video clip. FDsys will not only provide transparency to our government, but forever change how we maintain and manage authentic government information.” Bob Tapella Public Printer of the United States
