Helps the U.S. Congress identify options that could be used to reduce the deficit. It updates previous work with new information, and systematically identifies in a single document the budgetary implications of selected program reforms discussed but not yet implemented or enacted. There are three broad themes: reassess objectives (terminate or revise services and programs provided); redefine beneficiaries (reconsider a program's intended audience); and improve efficiency (reconsider how a program or service is provided). Charts and tables.
