Congressional Budget Process

The Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 established the House and Senate Budget Committees, and provided for the annual adoption of a concurrent resolution on the budget. In the thirty years since the bill was enacted at least one budget resolution has been adopted every year except FY 1999, FY 2002, FY 2005 and FY 2006.
