+41ST CONGRESS, 1st Session.
+
+
+S. 6.
+
+
+
+
+IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES.
+
+March 5, 1869.
+
+
+Mr. ANTHONY asked, and by unanimous consent obtained, leave to bring in
+the following bill; which was read twice, and ordered to be printed.
+
+
+
+
+A BILL
+
+To provide stationery for Congress and the several departments, and for
+other purposes.
+
+
+ 1 _Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives
+ 2 of the United States of America in Congress assembled_,
+ 3 That upon the passage of this act the heads of each of the
+ 4 executive and judicial departments at Washington, District of
+ 5 Columbia, shall immediately cause estimates to be made of
+ 6 the amount of stationery and other articles which will be
+ 7 required by them for the ensuing year, which are now furnished
+ 8 as stationery or under stationery contracts, and forward
+ 9 the same to the Congressional Printer, who shall immediately
+ 10 issue proposals for such articles and stationery and make
+ 11 purchases of the same, in the manner and under the regulations
+ 12 provided for in this act.
+
+ 1 Sec. 2. _And be it further enacted_, That the Congressional
+ 2 Printer shall, at the beginning of each session of Congress,
+ 3 submit to the Joint Committee on Public Printing estimates
+ 4 of the quantity of paper, of all descriptions, which will, in his
+ 5 opinion, be required for the public printing during the ensuing
+ 6 year; and also estimates of the quantity and articles of
+ 7 stationery required for each and all of the executive and judicial
+ 8 departments at Washington, and for the Senate and House of
+ 9 Representatives and the Congressional printing office.
+
+ 1 Sec. 3. _And be it further enacted_, That the heads of
+ 2 the several executive and judicial departments, and the Secretary
+ 3 of the Senate and Clerk of the House of Representatives,
+ 4 shall, on or before the twentieth day of November, in
+ 5 each year, furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Congressional
+ 6 Printer estimates of the articles and the quantity of each
+ 7 which will be required for their several departments for the
+ 8 year following.
+
+ 1 Sec. 4. _And be it further enacted_, That the Joint Committee
+ 2 on Public Printing shall then fix upon standards of
+ 3 paper for the different descriptions of public printing, and for
+ 4 all stationery and articles required, and the Congressional
+ 5 Printer shall, under their direction, advertise in two newspapers
+ 6 published in each of the cities of Boston, New York,
+ 7 Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, and Cincinnati, and in
+ 8 any other city where in their judgment it may become necessary,
+ 9 for sealed proposals to furnish the government with
+ 10 paper and all other articles of the quality and in the quantities
+ 11 specified in the advertisement, which shall specify the
+ 12 quantity and quality of all the articles required; and he shall
+ 13 furnish to the applicants samples of the standard articles
+ 14 which have been adopted.
+
+ 1 Sec. 5. _And be it further enacted_, That the advertisements
+ 2 for sealed proposals shall specify the minimum portion
+ 3 of each article required for either three months, six months,
+ 4 or one year, as the Joint Committee on Public Printing may
+ 5 determine; but when the minimum portion so specified exceeds
+ 6 in any case one thousand reams of paper, the advertisements
+ 7 shall state that proposals will be received for one
+ 8 thousand reams or more.
+
+ 1 Sec. 6. _And be it further enacted_, That all sealed proposals
+ 2 to furnish any article shall be opened in the presence
+ 3 of the Joint Committee on Printing, and the contracts shall be
+ 4 awarded by the committee to the lowest and best bidder for
+ 5 each article or class for the interest of the government; but
+ 6 they shall not consider any proposal which is not accompanied
+ 7 by satisfactory evidence that the person making it is a manufacturer
+ 8 or dealer in the articles which he proposes to furnish,
+ 9 and the said joint committee shall, in their award of each contract,
+ 10 allow and designate a reasonable time for filling it.
+
+ 1 Sec. 7. _And be it further enacted_, That no contract
+ 2 for furnishing paper or any other article shall be valid until it
+ 3 has been approved by said joint committee, (if made under
+ 4 their direction, or by the Secretary of the Interior, if made
+ 5 under his direction,) according to the provisions of section
+ 6 nine.
+
+ 1 Sec. 8. _And be it further enacted_, That the Congressional
+ 2 Printer shall compare all articles delivered by any contractor
+ 3 with the standard of quality, and shall not accept any
+ 4 article which does not conform to it; and in case of a difference
+ 5 of opinion between the Congressional Printer and any
+ 6 contractor with respect to the quality of any article furnished,
+ 7 the matter of difference shall be determined by the Joint Committee
+ 8 on Printing, or in the recess of Congress by the Secretary
+ 9 of the Interior.
+
+ 1 Sec. 9. _And be it further enacted_, That in default of
+ 2 any contractor to furnish the articles contracted for at the
+ 3 proper time, or of the proper quality or weight, the Congressional
+ 4 Printer shall report such default to the Joint Committee
+ 5 on Public Printing if Congress is in session, or to the
+ 6 Secretary of the Interior if Congress is not in session; and
+ 7 he shall, under the direction of the Joint Committee on
+ 8 Public Printing, or of the Secretary of the Interior, as the
+ 9 case may be, enter into a new contract with the lowest and
+ 10 best bidder for the interest of the government among those
+ 11 whose proposals were rejected at the last opening of bids, or
+ 12 he shall advertise for new proposals, under the regulations
+ 13 concerning advertisements for proposals hereinbefore stated;
+ 14 and during the interval which may thus occur he shall, under
+ 15 the direction of the Joint Committee on Public Printing, or
+ 16 of the Secretary of the Interior, as above provided, purchase
+ 17 in open market, at the lowest market price, all such articles
+ 18 necessary for use.
+
+ 1 Sec. 10. _And be it further enacted_, That in case of any
+ 2 contractor's default to comply with this contract he and his
+ 3 securities shall be charged with and held responsible for any
+ 4 increase of cost to the government in procuring the supply
+ 5 which may be consequent upon such default.
+
+ 1 Sec. 11. _And be it further enacted_, That when any
+ 2 such default occurs the Congressional Printer shall report it,
+ 3 with a full statement of all the facts in the case, to the
+ 4 Solicitor of the Treasury, who shall prosecute the defaulting
+ 5 contractor and his securities upon their bond in the circuit
+ 6 court of the United States in the district in which such
+ 7 defaulting contractor resides.
+
+ 1 Sec. 12. _And be it further enacted_, That the Joint
+ 2 Committee on Public Printing, or during the recess of Congress
+ 3 the Secretary of the Interior, may authorize the Congressional
+ 4 Printer to make purchases in open market whenever,
+ 5 in their opinion, the quantity required is so small, or the
+ 6 want is so immediate, as not to justify advertisement for proposals
+ 7 and the award of a contract therefor.
+
+ 1 Sec. 13. _And be it further enacted_, That the Congressional
+ 2 Printer shall charge himself in a book, to be kept for
+ 3 that purpose, with all paper and other articles or material
+ 4 received for the public use, and he shall furnish the same to
+ 5 the foremen of printing and binding, and to the officers of
+ 6 the executive and judicial departments, and of the Senate and
+ 7 House of Representatives authorized to receive them, on
+ 8 their written requisitions as the public service may require
+ 9 them, taking a receipt from each officer for such article, which
+ 10 shall be entered to his credit; and accounts shall be kept
+ 11 with each department, and all articles delivered charged to
+ 12 them. And to carry out the provisions of this act the
+ 13 Congressional Printer may employ one clerk of the fourth class,
+ 14 one of the second class, and one messenger, and shall give an
+ 15 additional bond of forty thousand dollars, and receive, in
+ 16 addition to his present salary, one thousand dollars.
+
+ 1 Sec. 14. _And be it further enacted_, That from and
+ 2 after the passage of this act it shall be unlawful to make further
+ 3 contracts or purchases or payment for any stationery
+ 4 or article furnished as such, except under existing contracts
+ 5 and in accordance with the regulations hereinbefore provided.
+
+ 1 Sec. 15. _And be it further enacted_, That all acts and
+ 2 parts of acts inconsistent with the foregoing provisions are
+ 3 hereby repealed.

+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark. Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+

+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
