THE BUDGET DOCUMENTS
Budget of the United States Government, Fiscal Year 2000 contains the
Budget Message of the President and information on the President's 2000
budget proposals. In addition, the Budget includes the Nation's second
comprehensive Government-wide Performance Plan.
Analytical Perspectives, Budget of the United States Government,
Fiscal Year 2000 contains analyses that are designed to highlight
specified subject areas or provide other significant presentations of
budget data that place the budget in perspective.
The Analytical Perspectives volume includes economic and accounting
analyses; information on Federal receipts and collections; analyses of
Federal spending; detailed information on Federal borrowing and debt;
the Budget Enforcement Act preview report; current services estimates;
and other technical presentations. It also includes information on the
budget system and concepts and a listing of the Federal programs by
agency and account.
Historical Tables, Budget of the United States Government, Fiscal
Year 2000 provides data on budget receipts, outlays, surpluses or
deficits, Federal debt, and Federal employment covering an extended time
period--in most cases beginning in fiscal year 1940 or earlier and
ending in fiscal year 2004. These are much longer time periods than
those covered by similar tables in other budget documents. As much as
possible, the data in this volume and all other historical data in the
budget documents have been made consistent with the concepts and
presentation used in the 2000 Budget, so the data series are comparable
over time.
Budget of the United States Government, Fiscal Year 2000--Appendix
contains detailed information on the various appropriations and funds
that constitute the budget and is designed primarily for the use of the
Appropriations Committee. The Appendix contains more detailed financial
information on individual programs and appropriation accounts than any
of the other budget documents. It includes for each agency: the proposed
text of appropriations language, budget schedules for each account, new
legislative proposals, explanations of the work to be performed and the
funds needed, and proposed general provisions applicable to the
appropriations of entire agencies or group of agencies. Information is
also provided on certain activities whose outlays are not part of the
budget totals.
A Citizen's Guide to the Federal Budget, Budget of the United States
Government, Fiscal Year 2000 provides general information about the
budget and the budget process for the general public.
Budget System and Concepts, Fiscal Year 2000 contains an explanation
of the system and concepts used to formulate the President's budget
proposals.
Budget Information for States, Fiscal Year 2000 is an Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) publication that provides proposed State-by-
State obligations for the major Federal formula grant programs to State
and local governments. The allocations are based on the proposals in the
President's budget. The report is released after the budget and can be

President, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503; (202) 395-7332.
