US Congress HR5797

A bill to amend the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to assure that the congressional budget process reflects a responsible approach to national fiscal and monetary policy, and realistically takes into account the state of the economy, by establishing a new procedure under which the Congress will separately decide upon the size of the Federal surplus or deficit for any fiscal year before it considers or decides upon the specific budget outlays to be authorized in the concurrent resolution on the budget for that year.
