Authors: Robert Keith, Government and Finance Division 
Abstract: During the more than 30 years that the congressional budget process has been in effect, the Senate Finance Committee has been subject to revenue reconciliation directives in a budget resolution on 18 occasions. Nine instances involved directives to reduce revenues, while the remaining nine instructed the committee to increase revenues. In all but three of the 18 instances, revenue reconciliation directives to the committee were accompanied by spending reconciliation directives.
