Congressional Management Foundation (CMF), in partnership with the Peter G. Peterson Foundation (PGPF), invites you to a Federal Budget Briefing Series for congressional staff.

This session will provide an overview of the annual cycle where Congress decides how to allocate taxpayer dollars to fund specific government agencies and programs, the critical differences between mandatory and discretionary spending, and the process for how annual appropriations bills are finalized and enacted before the federal fiscal year begins on October 1.
