ADMINISTRATIVE NOTES Newsletter of the Federal Depository Library Program --------------------------------------------------------------------- December 15, 1999 GP 3.16/3-2:20/18 (Vol. 20, no. 18) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Federal Register & Congressional Record Issues Being Reprinted; Former Direct Mail Titles to Receive Priority Handling The transition from having the "Direct Mail" titles distributed by the publisher or printer to having them distributed by the Library Programs Service (LPS) has generally gone smoothly, with two exceptions: the Federal Register and the Congressional Record. LPS announced in October that 13 titles, including these two, would from then forward be sent to depositories on regular shipping lists from LPS (see Administrative Notes, v. 20, # 15, 10/15/99; ). Unfortunately, miscommunication between departments at GPO resulted in the non-distribution of 7 issues of the Federal Register and Congressional Record, as listed below: Federal Register, vol. 64 No. Date 207 10/27/99 208 10/28/99 209 10/29/99 210 11/01/99 211 11/02/99 212 11/03/99 213 11/04/99 Congressional Record, vol. 145 No. Date 147 10/26/99 148 10/27/99 149 10/28/99 150 10/29/99 151 11/01/99 152 11/02/99 153 11/03/99 These issues are being reproduced and should be available for depository distribution in January 2000. LPS is expediting regular distribution of both of these titles, as well as the other 13 titles on the "Direct Mail Discontinued List" by shipping them with Congressional publications. Questions concerning the status of the direct mail titles should be directed to .
