Why it doesn't exist
Each stage lives in a different document
Request
President's Budget
OMB's budget appendix and agency justifications
House
House bill and report
Committee report tables, often hundreds of pages
Senate
Senate bill and report
Its own tables, its own account names and scopes
Enacted
The law
The enacted bill and its explanatory statement
Across ten years, accounts are renamed, moved, merged and split, and tables print totals in different scopes. Lining them up takes judgment that no single document gives you.
Approps Intelligence
The account-level history that didn't exist, built once and built right.
Features
What you can do with it
Built for people who have to get the number right, and show where it came from.
Sources
Click any figure, get its page
Each number shows the document, the page, the line as printed and the bill or public law it belongs to, with a button that opens the source at that page. No more paging through a long explanatory statement to confirm one number.
Explore
Ten years in one grid
Pick a subcommittee and year. See an agency or account across every enacted year since FY2017, compare any two years side by side, or line up the request, House, Senate and enacted levels for one year. Expand an agency to see each of its accounts. Accounts that were renamed or reorganized stay connected.
Find changes
Ask the questions you're paid to answer
Deepest proposed cuts, House vs Senate gaps, proposed eliminations, and accounts that moved, merged or split. Or set your own conditions by subcommittee, agency, stage, percent and dollar change. Save a search, watch the accounts you follow, and export the results.
Account history
One account, every year it existed
A chart of enacted levels, a table of every stage by year, and the request-to-enacted gap, with the account's Budget Appendix account and budget class and a source behind each figure. Watch an account, copy a ready-made citation, or export its history.
Export to Excel or CSV
Take the grid you're looking at into a workbook, with the rows, units and rounding you see on screen.
Choose your amount basis
Figures as printed, discretionary only, or program level, with advance appropriations counted when they become available or when enacted.
Share a view
Every view has its own link, down to the selected figure, so a colleague sees exactly what you see.
Works on your phone
A layout built for small screens: totals, the change from last year, and the source a tap away.
