Background
Each year, government agencies submit an annual “Congressional Budget Justification” book that outlines the programs and projects for that agency, and justifies the budget that they are requesting.
For some agencies, they are easy to obtain. For others? Not so much.
Below is a growing archive of different agencies, and their respective years.
