Compendium of Budget Accounts Fiscal Year 2001
Abstract
Each year the President is required by law to submit a budget to the Congress. This budget not only presents the President's policy proposals for the "budget year," in this case fiscal year 2001, but also congressionally enacted budgetary totals for the current year (fiscal year 2000) and reported actual totals for the previous year (fiscal year 1999). In effect, the President's submission analyzes and compiles separate presentations for hundreds of budget accounts, covering all fiscal activities of the federal government, including "off-budget" accounts such as the Social Security trust funds and the Postal Service Fund. The President's budget also includes, as submitted, certain accounts, such as the legislative and judicial branch summaries, which by law or by practice are not subject to presidential review.
