EXPLANATORY NOTE RELATING TO THE
SUMMARY TABLES

Types of tables.-This part of the budget consists of
tables as follows:

• Tables 1 through 13 are short summary tables of the
budget.

• Tables 14 through 16 provide greater detail in support of
financial data in the first three tables.

• Table 17 presents 5-year projections of the estimated
costs of proposed legislation pursuant to section 221(a) of
the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970.

• Tables 18 and 19 provide detailed information on direct
loan and guaranteed loan activity within the Federal
credit control system.

• Tables 20 through 26 are historical in nature, giving
data, for earlier years, comparable to those data in the
preceding tables, and also giving information on the na-
tional income accounts, the gross national product over a
longer period, and the budget in constant (fiscal year
1972) prices.

Periods covered.-Due to the change in fiscal year re-
quired by the Congressional Budget Act, the following pe-
riods are covered by the various columns or stub entries:
July 1 through June 30 for the 1976 and prior fiscal
periods.

• July 1 through September 30, 1976, for the transition
quarter (TQ).

• October 1 through September 30 for the 1977 and subse-
quent fiscal periods.

Concepts followed.-The concepts used in the current
and historical tables are discussed in Part 7 of this volume.
Budget authority and outlays for off-budget Federal enti-
ties are included in selected tables.

NOTES

The 1985 budget reflects establishment of a military retirement trust fund in Department of Defense-Civil presentations effective October 1, 1984, in accordance with Public Law 98-94. In selected summary tables, additional entries in parentheses show amounts for previous years adjusted to reflect imputed charges for accruals in subfunction 051, the accrual offset in subfunction 951, and transfer of cash payments to retired military personnel to subfunction 602.

The outlay totals for 1983 exceed Treasury outlay totals by $53 million primarily due to adjustments in outlays of the (a) Tennessee Valley Authority (+$49 million), (b) Department of Interior payments to Papago trust and cooperative fund (+$15 million), and (c) National Credit Union Administration central liquidity facility (-$11 million).
