The fifth volume of the Public Papers of President Barack Obama is now available online and for purchase. These volumes are produced right here at the Office of the Federal Register (OFR) by our staff in the Presidential unit. This particular volume is 888 pages and includes the text of his public speeches, news conferences, messages and statements, communications to Congress and Federal agencies, and a photographic portfolio.

There are two volumes for each calendar year, so each 4-year term results in 8 volumes. The OFR Presidential unit indexes all the material by subject and name and lists them according to document category.

The entire volume, as well as others from Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, William Clinton and George H.W. Bush, is available online at http://go.usa.gov/SeUz.
