Fifty Years of the Congressional Budget Act: Watch live
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the landmark Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act that established a budget process unique to the legislative branch.
The act created the House and Senate Budget committees and the Congressional Budget Office, along with procedures the president must follow when implementing congressional appropriations. Fifty years later, the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) invites you to an exclusive event examining the CBA’s successes and failures, as well as where policymakers can go from here.
Join BPC and The Hill for this robust conversation featuring CBO directors past and present, and current and former members of Congress.
The event is scheduled for 3 p.m. EDT.
Watch the live video above.
