******************************
Are you confused about the national budget, appropriations, and 
reconciliation? The National Coalition for Literacy staff has prepared an 
update of the 2006 Budget and Appropriations year. Included is information 
concerning how the Budget system works, what Budget Reconciliation is, and 
an analysis of Welfare Reform being discussed as part of the House 
Reconciliation package. Additionally a short yet informative list of 
definitions concerning the Budget is also available.
