Abstract:

This report provides a brief description of four resolutions (Senate Resolutions 4, 5, 6, and 8) submitted by Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott on the first day of the 106th Congress. These resolutions concern the Senate’s consideration of budgetary legislation. A hearing was held by the Senate Committees on Budget and Governmental Affairs, jointly, on January 27, 1999, that addressed questions of budget process reform generally. This report will be updated to reflect any further action taken by the committees to which these resolutions were
referred or by the full Senate.
