Toward federal program budgeting

Expert InsightsPublished 1966

An analysis of some issues which, the author feels, should be understood and dealt with before program budgeting can be successfully extended to federal government operations as a whole, particularly the relationship between direct outputs of programs and the nation's deeper objectives and purposes. To this end, some basic concepts of program budgeting are presented along with an example of a federal program budget. The paper also considers problems of application and implementation of the hypothetical budget. 27 pp.
