Amends the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to require each committee of Congress to review at least once every six years each Federal program for which it has jurisdiction to appropriate funds as though such program were being proposed to be enacted for the first time. Requires such zero-base budgeting process to consider alternatives to the program, the costs and benefits, the necessity, and the effectiveness of such program. Prohibits the extension of budget authority for any such program beyond such six-year period until the Congressional committees with jurisdiction over such programs conduct such period reviews.
