In the tables, data for fiscal year(FY) 1992 are actual because they represent completed transactions. Data for FY1993 and FY 1994 are estimated because they do not represent final actions. Thetiming of the Federal Funds Survey coincided with the third quarter of FY 1993;therefore, the amounts reported for FY 1993 reflect congressional appropriationactions as of that period as well as apportionment and reprogramming decisions asof that time. Data for FY 1994 represent administration budget proposals that hadnot been acted on. The effects of later authorization, appropriation, deferral,and apportionment actions will be reflected in later surveys in this series.
