CBO Mission 

The Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) mission is to provide Congress with objective, nonpartisan information to help them make effective budget and economic policy. The CBO was established in 1974 by the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act to give Congress a stronger role in budget matters.

The CBO’s responsibilities include: 

• Producing the annual Budget and Economic Outlook
• Creating cost estimates for nearly every bill approved by a House or Senate committee
• Supporting other Congressional committees, particularly Appropriations, Finance, and Ways and Means
• Supporting Congressional leadership

The CBO’s work is available to the public and Congress on its website. The CBO’s website includes resources such as: Budget and economic data, Baseline projections for selected programs, Estimates of the President’s budget proposals, and Publications with data files.
