Abstract:

The executive budget process is a complex set of activities that includes formulation of the President’s budget, interaction with Congress, and execution of the budget. While some of the activities are required by specific dates, many follow a more flexible schedule established by formal and informal rules and procedures. Table 1 provides a timetable of the major steps in the executive budget process. For more information on budget process, see [http://www.crs.gov/products/guides/guidehome.shtml].
