Compendium of Budget Accounts: Fiscal Year 1999

Abstract

The President's budget is intended to address many objectives and meet many information needs; more than two dozen requirements are currently listed at 31 U.S.C. 1105. Accordingly, the budget comprises a wealth of information in a daunting array of schedules, tables, graphs, and narrative summaries. The comprehensiveness of the President's budget submission is its principal strength, but also creates its most obvious inconvenience - its sheer size and complexity. For example, for fiscal year 1999, the President's budget spanned 5 volumes and over 2,500 pages. We developed this compendium to give users a convenient way to sort through the fiscal structure of the federal government and to determine the level of budgetary resources - used, estimated, or requested by fiscal year - for individual accounts.
