GPO PROVIDES PRINTING TO SUPPORT
PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURAL SWEARING-IN CEREMONY

Continuing a long tradition of participation in Presidential inaugural swearing-in ceremonies, the Government Printing Office provided a wide variety of materials used in the 2001 inauguration of President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard B. Cheney.

Under the direction of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies (Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Chairman), GPO produced or procured from the private sector invitations, tickets, programs, menus, parking passes, signs, and other materials to be used in carrying out the swearing-in ceremony at the U.S. Capitol on January 20, 2001. All design work was performed by GPO under the direction of the Joint Committee.

Public Printer Michael F. DiMario, head of the GPO, said of the effort, "The men and women of the GPO worked closely with the leadership of the Joint Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies to provide a myriad of products under limited time constraints and tight security, and with detailed requirements. This type of effort is an extension of the fine work they do each day in support of our Government, and we were honored to support the inauguration."

Altogether, GPO produced or procured:

GPO also provided law enforcement and military personnel with electronic databases containing all versions of tickets and parking passes to be used for training purposes.
