Abstract

Congress, through enactment of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, has injected management tools and techniques into it's division of the labor of the budgetary process. This has changed the relationship between the legislative and executive branches of government in regard to the budgetary process. Previous to the 1974 budget reform, Congress had altered the budgetary process significantly in 1921, giving extensive responsibility in budget preparation to the President and his staff. While during the succeeding years the Executive branch had utilized new management tools and techniques in budget preparation, the same could not be said for t.he legislative branch in budget evaluation. Two attempts at reform, in 1946 and also in 1950, failed and criticism continued. After a confrontation with President Nixon in the early 1970's Congress moved to create the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974.
