He issued the following statement: This common-sense bill will save taxpayer dollars and make the federal government more efficient and effective. I am pleased that the Senate passed the measure unanimously and I will continue to work to get it signed into law. NOTE: TheFederal Register Printing Savings Actis estimated to save $1 million annually by eliminating the daily printing and delivery of the Federal Register to congressional offices. A congressional office could still receive the federal register if they ask for it, but the Government Publishing Office would no longer proactively deliver it to offices. Portmans measure (S. 1195) was approved by the Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee in July. The Senate passed the House-passed version of Portmans bill (H.R. 195) yesterday, with an additional measure attached, so it will go back to the House for passage once again before heading to the presidents desk. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
