budget proposals on the Virtual Congress floor. The proposals consist of what is to be
accomplished by the proposal, how it will be implemented, detailed cost analyses and
changes to dollar amounts of specific budget line items from actual agency budget
requests. Students then vote and answer concerns voiced by real constituents. As a
resource for the students, the project provides a comprehensive detailed listing of the
