Congress finds that— Congress has the authority and responsibility under the Constitution of the United States over financial and budgetary matters, including the power to appropriate funds; it is recognized that the incremental budgeting does not lend itself to cost control nor accountability in spending; a zero-based budget would offer tangible savings achieved through more thorough planning and more efficient allocation of resources; and zero-based budgeting would establish a budget based upon current needs rather than previous expenditures. It is the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress should establish a plan to apply zero-based budgeting to the Federal budgetary process.
