The section was expanded to include the printing and binding of the
official edition of the court's decisions, thus making possible an
economy in the expenditure of Government funds by having the printing
and binding done by the same printer.
Subsection (b) of the revised section was supplied to conform to
sections 411 and 412 of this title.
