This 2008 edition of "Background Material and Data on the Programs within the Jurisdiction of the Committee on Ways and Means," informally known as the Green Book.

The Green Book provides updated data and information on programs within the Committee's jurisdiction, such as Medicare, Social Security, Unemployment Compensation, Foster Care and welfare.  Additionally, it includes a discussion of related issues, such as the well-being of the elderly and of children and families.  Since its first publication in 1981, the Green Book has become a valued reference guide for legislators, administrators, researchers and interested citizens.
