Government Printing Office

Your gateway to many government documents and other multi-media is the Government Printing Office. This office's charge is to provide the American people with authentic documents originating from all branches of the Federal government.

The GPO's home page has a link to FDsys, or Federal Digital System, that "provides free online access to official publications from all three branches of the Federal Government."
