Summary:

Sequestration--the automatic across-the-board cancellation of budgetary resources for the purpose of enforcing budgetary goals--was first established by the 1985 Balance Budget and Emergency Deficit Act (Title II or P.L. 99-177). Section 254 of this act, as amended, provides a timetable for sequestration action.
