Authorizes legislative branch agencies to use telecommunications systems and services provided by the Architect of the Capitol, the House, or the Senate under a specified plan if such systems and services have been: (1) acquired competitively; and (2) determined to be at least equal in quality to, and not greater in cost than, the systems and services known as "FTS2000." Provides for adjusting the pay of certain employees of the Architect. Requires the procurement of printing for Government publications using appropriated funds under this Act to be made through GPO, unless otherwise specified by law or this Act. Repeals the limitation on the amount GPO may spend from its revolving fund for attendance at meetings.

Applies provisions of Federal law governing flexible and compressed work schedules to GPO.
