On the recordFebruary 28, 1994
You adopt a budget in advance. The budget is in advance of a fiscal year. Section 2, for example, says not later than the first Monday in February the President shall submit for the fiscal year beginning in that calendar year. You are adopting a budget in advance of the beginning of a fiscal year. So that causes me concern, whether or not we are forcing the CBO to have to make projections for a period of 24 months in advance of the beginning of the fiscal year.
