TRENDS IN PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE

                               SPENDING


                                     May 1999


                                   PREFACE

This Congressional Budget Office (CBO) paper continues the detailed analysis of infrastructure
outlays in CBO's August 1995 paper Public Infrastructure Spending and an Analysis of the
President's Proposals for Infrastructure Spending from 1996 to 2000. In accordance with CBO's
mandate to provide objective and impartial analysis, this paper contains no recommendations.

Carl Muehlmann, formerly of CBO, and Keith Mattrick of CBO's Natural Resources and Commerce
Division wrote the paper. It was prepared under the supervision of Jan Paul Acton and Elliot
Schwartz, formerly of CBO. The authors wish to thank many people, both inside and outside CBO,
for their helpful contributions. Within CBO, David Sanders, Jeffrey Holland, Deborah Reis, and
Robert Arnold were of great assistance in preparing data. Elizabeth Pinkston, Pete Fontaine, and Perry
Beider offered many useful comments and suggestions. Outside CBO, Henry Wulf of the Bureau of
the Census facilitated the compiling of state and local spending data.

Leah Mazade edited the manuscript, and Liz Williams proofread it, Rae Wiseman prepared the paper
for publication, and Laurie Brown prepared the electronic versions for CBO's World Wide Web site
(http://www.cbo.gov).
