The Congressional Budget Process -- An Explanation

The Appropriations & Budget Process

The Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, as amended, has played a central role in the formulation and implementation of Federal fiscal policy in the last quarter of this century. The purpose of that landmark legislation, to help guide and formulate macro fiscal policy, remains as important today, if not more so, than it was in 1974.

While this revised print does not represent the views of the Committee on the Budget or any of its members, it was prepared to be an accurate and objective explanation of the process.
