GPO Access Bill Passes the Senate. The Government Printing Office Electronic Information Access Enhancement Act of 1993 was passed by the Senate on March 22. A discussion between Senator Paul Simon (D‐KY) and Senator Wendell Ford (D‐IL) clarified that nothing in the legislation should be construed to authorize the Superintendent of Documents “to impose any restrictions on the public's use or reuse of federal electronic information, or to diminish the public's timely and non‐discriminatory access to such information through existing means.”
