Synopsis
Excerpt from Nasa Historical Data Book, Vol. 5: Nasa Launch Systems, Space Transportation, Human Spaceflight, and Space Science, 1979-1988
Congress appropriated operating funds each year. These appropria tions were the culmination of a series of activities that required at least two years of effort by the installations and Headquarters.
Two years before a budget year began, Headquarters sent guidelines to each installation that contained programmatic and budget information based on its long-range plans and the budget forecasts from the Office of Management and Budget (omb). Each installation then prepared a detailed budget, or Program Operating Plan (pop), for the fiscal year that would begin two years in the future. The installation also refined the bud get for the remainder of the current fiscal year and the next fiscal year that it had already submitted and had approved, and it provided less detailed budget figures for later years. Upon approval from each installation's comptroller and director, this budget was forwarded to the appropriate Headquarters-level program office, to the nasa comptroller's office, and the nasa administrator.
Headquarters reviewed the budget requests from each installation, held discussions with the installations, and negotiated with omb to arrive at a budget that looked realistic and had a fair chance of passage by Congress. Following these negotiations, nasa formally submitted its budget requests to omb. This became part of the administration's budget that went to Congress in January of each year.
