Contains the Budget Message of the President, information on the President's priorities, and budget overviews organized by agency. This document was published on February 26, 2009. Since publication of this initial volume, the Administration has produced updated budget estimates based on new technical and other information. The following volumes are based on those new estimates, and updated summary tables were published in the following volume.
Appendix contains detailed information on the various appropriations and funds that constitute the budget and is designed primarily for the use of the Appropriations Committees. 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; 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 transactions are not part of the budget totals.
Contains analyses that are designed to highlight specified subject areas or provide other significant presentations of budget data that place the budget in perspective. This volume includes economic and accounting analyses; information on Federal receipts and collections; analyses of Federal spending; information on Federal borrowing and debt; baseline or current services estimates; and other technical presentations. The Analytical Perspectives volume also contains supplemental material with several detailed tables, including tables showing the budget by agency and account and by function, subfunction, and program, that is available on the Internet and as a CD-ROM in the printed document.
Provides data on budget receipts, outlays, surpluses or deficits, Federal debt, and Federal employment over an extended time period, generally from 1940 or earlier to 2010 or 2014. To the extent feasible, the data have been adjusted to provide consistency with the 2010 Budget and to provide comparability over time.
Identifies programs that do not accomplish the goals set for them, do not do so efficiently, or do a job already done by another initiative--and recommends these programs for either termination or reduction.
