THE BUDGET DOCUMENTS

Data and analyses relating to the budget for 1979 are published in four documents:

The Budget of the United States Government, 1979 contains the information that most users of the budget would normally need, including the Budget Message of the President. The Budget presents an overview of the President's budget proposals and includes explanations of spending programs in terms of national needs, agency missions, and basic programs, an analysis of estimated receipts and a discussion of the President's tax proposals. This document also contains a description of the budget system and various summary tables on the budget as a whole. (Price $4.00.)

The Budget of the United States Government, 1979-A11 endix contains detailed information on the various appropriations and funds that comprise the budget. The Appendix contains more detailed information than any of the other budget documents. It includes for each agency: the proposed text of appropriation language, budget schedules for each account, explanations of the work to be performed and the funds needed, proposed general provisions applicable to the appropriations of entire agencies or groups of agencies and schedules of permanent positions. Supplementals, and rescission proposals for the current year, and new legislative proposals, are presented separately. Information is also provided on certain activities whose outlays are not part of the budget totals. (Price $12.00.)

Special Analyses, Budget of the United States Government, 1979 contains 16 special analyses that are designed to highlight specified program areas or provide other significant presentations of Federal budget data. This document includes analytical information about: alternative views of the budget, i.e., current services and national income accounts; economic and financial analyses of the budget covering Government finances and operations as a whole; Government-wide program and financial information for Federal education, training and employment, health, income security, civil rights, environment, and research and development programs. (Price $3.25.)

The United States Budget in Brief, 1979 provides a more concise, less technical overview of the 1979 budget than the above volumes. Summary and historical tables on the Federal budget and debt are also provided, together with graphic displays. (Price $1.75.)

Each of these documents is for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. (Paper covers only.)
