Federal Budget Email Archive


Well-crafted federal policies create the foundation for a strong economy and the possibility of a promising future for Oregon children. And they protect the elderly, the disabled and others among us who are more vulnerable.

OCPP’s Federal Budget Project informs Oregonians on how congressional decisions impact our state. We continue issuing periodic federal budget updates, but these are no longer published separately. We are including them in our regular OCPP updates. Click here to sign up to receive OCPP's updates.
