6the amount of stationery and other articles which will be
7required by them for the ensuing year, which are now furnished
8as stationery or under stationery contracts, and forward
9the same to the Congressional Printer, who shall immediately
10issue proposals for such articles and stationery and make
11purchases of the same, in the manner and under the regulations
12provided for in this act.
1Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That the
Printer shall, at the beginning of each session of Congress,

4of the quantity of paper, of all descriptions, which will, in his
opinion, be required for the public printing during the ensuing
6year; and also estimates of the quantity and articles of
7stationery required for each and all of the executive and judicial
8departments at Washington, and for the Senate and House of
9Representatives and the Congressional printing office.
1Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the heads of
the several executive and judicial departments, and the Secretary

6Printer estimates of the articles and the quantity of each
7which will be required for their several departments for the
8year following.
1Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That the Joint Committee
on Public Printing shall then fix upon standards of
3paper for the different descriptions of public printing, and for
4all stationery and articles required, and the Congressional
Printer shall, under their direction, advertise in two newspapers
6published in each of the cities of Boston, New York,
7Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, and Cincinnati, and in
8any other city where in their judgment it may become necessary,

for sealed proposals shall specify the minimum portion
3of each article required for either three months, six months,
4or one year, as the Joint Committee on Public Printing may
determine; but when the minimum portion so specified exceeds
6in any case one thousand reams of paper, the advertisements
7shall state that proposals will be received for one
8thousand reams or more....
