Excerpt
Excerpt: This document describes nine data files that contain an extract of the OMB budget database. These files can be used to reproduce many of the totals published in the Budget and examine unpublished details below the levels of aggregation published in the budget. These data, however, have some limitation to their scope and usefulness. The following sections describe the sources and limitations of the data. Content, format, and coding of the data files are discussed as well.
