1 Includes funds for vocational education and for federal programs at libraries and museums.

2 Other recipients include American Indian tribes, private nonprofit agencies, and banks.

NOTE: Outlays by type of recipient are estimated based on obligation data. Negative amounts occur when program receipts exceed outlays. The increase in postsecondary expenditures in 2006 resulted primarily from an accounting adjustment. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
