NOTE: Data for fiscal year 2002 are estimated except the U.S. Department of Education, which are actual numbers. To the extent possible, amounts reported represent outlays, rather than obligations. Some data have been revised from previously published data. Detail may not sum to totals due to rounding. Negative amounts occur when program receipts exceed outlays.
