Government Budget Action

The annual budget request is a document that the President submits to Congress each year requesting funding for each federal agency and program of the federal government. This document frequently includes a detailed account of the work the agency is undertaking as justification for funding for the next fiscal year, the accomplishments of the past year, as well as a set of strategic goals the agency hopes to accomplish with funding from Congress. Below are budget statements to Congress which are important to FASEB’s interests.
