LC/PCC practice: When a government printer or government printing office is named on the resource and there is no evidence that its function is not that of a publisher, record it as the publisher. If, however, another body also appears on the resource and the government printing office is named only in a less prominent position and the name is not accompanied by a statement of manufacture/printing or distribution, the likelihood is greater that it functions only as manufacturer/printer or distributor and that the other body is the publisher.
