This diskette contains three major groups of files.  These files are usually
text files stored in one or more subdirectories on the diskette.


The major groups:

* President Clinton's Economic Plan, "A Vision of Change for America."
This printed report was issued after the President's State of the
Union Address.  The complete text and tables from the report are
available on this diskette; in addition, the Appendix of the report contains
detailed tables which are stored on this diskette in spreadsheet (WK1)
format for ease of analysis.  Charts from the report are not distributed
on this diskette, however.

* Selected historical budget tables of the U.S. Government.  Selected
budgetary tables produced by the Office of Management and Budget as of
January 6, 1993.

* Reducing the Deficit:  Spending and Revenue Options.  Tables from the
Congressional Budget Office's report to the Senate and House Committees on the
Budget, Volume II (February, 1993).


In addition, the diskette includes a menu-driven program (START.EXE) which
allows you to browse through the various files.  This program can be run only on
DOS-compatible machines.  Non-DOS users can still use the files on the diskette
if they can read DOS-formatted diskettes.

Finally, the diskette includes descriptions of other information products from
the Office of Business Analysis.  You may be especially interested in the
following:

* The National Economic, Social, and Environmental (NESE) Data Bank:  A CD-ROM
packed with economic and other data.

* The Economic Bulletin Board:  A modem-based service which contains current
economic data.
