Mr. BRIAN. He has no way of knowing whether it exceeds the gen eral fund before he sells the books. After he sells the books he deposits the amount in the Treasury to the credit of public printing and binding. Mr. TAWNEY. But you have no way of knowing whether he exceeds the amount in the fiscal year or not, have you? Mr. BRIAN. We keep the accounts there; yes, sir. Mr. LITTAUER. He can draw on you for any documents that he believes are necessary within the limit of your total expenditures by Congress, which is over $3,000,000? Mr. BRIAN. That is an extreme case. Mr. LITTAUER. Yes; but it is the only limit, is it not? Mr. BRIAN. It is the only limit, if the Public Printer would give it to him. Mr. LITTAUER. That is the only limitation that I can gather from the statute. Then, of course, the amount available to the Public Printer is increased by the amount of money derived from those sales? Mr. BRIAN. Yes. That is vicious legislation. Mr. LIVINGSTON. Did it originate in the House or Senate? [Laughter.] Mr. BRIAN. In the House, I think, sir. Mr. LITTAUER. If there are no further questions, we are much obliged to you, Mr. Public Printer. Mr. STILLINGS. Thank you. My only regret, gentlemen, is that my limited knowledge prevents me from giving you further information at this time. Mr. TAWNEY. We will give you ample opportunity when the sundry civil bill comes up a little later.
