This compendium was prepared to help people cope with the breadth of the fed. budget. It gives users a convenient way to sort through the fiscal structure of the fed. government & to determine the level of budgetary resources — used, estimated, or requested by FY — for individual accounts. Account summaries for the legislative & judicial branches precede listings for the executive branch, which is organized alphabetically by major department & agency, followed by other independent agencies. Individual accounts are then grouped by major subordinate organization — usually a bureau, service, or administration — or by major program area.
