For Immediate Release February 7, 1994
Statement by The Press Secretary
OMB, COMMERCE INTRODUCE ELECTRONIC VERSION OF BUDGET
Today, for the first time ever, a CD-ROM disc with the
complete electronic version of President Clinton's 1995 plan for
the U.S. Government Fiscal Year 1995 Budget, as transmitted to
Congress, was offered to the public.
OMB Director Leon Panetta said today, "In the spirit of the
National Performance Review we are pleased to use CD-ROM
technology to make the 1995 Budget proposal readily available to
more Americans at a lower cost."
The four budget documents that are available immediately
will be cheaper than the printed versions and they will be more
versatile: users will be able to display exact images of the
printed pages, search for key words, and copy or print portions
for further reference.
The documents available include:
* Budget of the U.S. Government, Fiscal Year 1995
* Budget of the United States Government, Fiscal Year 1995,
Analytical Perspectives
* Budget of the U.S. Government, Fiscal Year 1995, Historical
Tables
* Budget System and Concepts of the U.S. Government
CD-ROM's (compact disc, read only memory) can be ordered
from the Department of Commerce for $30, compared with $56 for
the printed versions of the four documents ordered from the
Government Printing Office [202/ 783-3238]. The CD-ROMs will be
available for pickup DOC, first class mail, or via overnight
delivery ($10 extra). These documents can be used on three
popular versions of personal computer software -- MS-DOS,
Windows, and Apple Macintosh, all trade-marked systems of private
companies.
