What exactly happened with the Federal Programs after one year of
battling in the Congress?
See an account of all changes at the Retriever Web site (Latest Edition
- June 1996)
Based on information from official federal publications, the Federal
Money Retriever software has the capability to instantly calculate
specific total amounts of federal spending according to the following
indexes:
1) Agencies (exactly how much is spent by each federal agency)
2) Functional Categories (broadly defined areas of federal spending)
3) Beneficiaries (eligible recipients of federal assistance)
4) Subject Terms (pre-defined set of keywords used by the federal
agencies to mark each federal program's functionality)
What is more, calculated are amounts for LAST, CURRENT and NEXT years -
which shows clearly tendencies in the spending for specific
categories... by specific federal agencies... etc.
All of this information is presented in extensive tables at the
Retriever Web Site: http://www.idimagic.com
Thanks for your time and consideration.
