INTRODUCTION
Background

Section 114 of the Budget and Accounting Procedures Act of
(31 use. 3513a) requires the Secretary of the Treasury to
prepare reports on the financial operations of the U.S. Government.

following major categories: (1) budget receipts and (2) offsetting
collections. Budget receipts are collections from the public that result

1950

The

three Federal fiscal operations (FFO) tables are
published quarterly and cover 5 years of data, estimates for 2 years,
detail for 13 months, and fiscal year-to-date data. The tables are
designed to provide a summary of data relating to Federal fiscal
operations reported by Federal entities and disbursing officers, and
daily reports from the Federal Reserve banks. These reports detail
accounting transactions affecting receipts and outlays of the Federal
Government and off-budget Federal entities, and their related effect

preparation of tables FFO-1, FFO-2, and FFO-3 is derived from the

States Government.

on the assets and

Budget authority usually takes the forni of "appropriations'
which permit obligations to be incurred and payments to be made.
Most appropriations for current operations are made available for
obligation only during a specified fiscal year (annual appropriations).

Some

are for a specified longer period (multiple-year appropriations).
Others, including most of those for construction, some for research,
and many for trust funds, are made available for obligation until the
amount appropriated has been expended or until the objectives have
been attained (no-year appropriations).

Budget authority can be made available by Congress for
and disbursement during a fiscal year from a succeeding
year's appropriations (advance funding). For many education
programs. Congress provides forward funding-budget authority
made available for obligation in one fiscal year for the financing of
ongoing grant programs during the succeeding fiscal year. When
advantageous to the Federal Government, an appropriation is
provided by Congress that will become available 1 year or more
beyond the fiscal year for which the appropriation act is passed
(advance appropriations) Included as advance appropriations are
appropriations related to multiyear budget requests.

Offsetting receipts In receipt accounts cannot be used without
being appropriated. They are subdivided into two categories: (1)
proprietary receipts-these collections are from the public and they
are offset against outlays by agency and by function, and (2)
intragovernmental funds-these are payments into receipt accounts
from governmental appropriation or fund accounts. They finance
operations within and between Government agencies and are
credited with collections from other Government accounts. The
transactions may be intrabudgetary when the payment and receipt
both occur within the budget or from receipts from off-budget Federal
entities in those cases where payment is made by a Federal entity
whose budget authority and outlays are excluded from the budget
totals.

Out/ays.-Obligations generally are liquidated by the issuance of
checks or the disbursement of cash; such payments are called
outlays. In lieu of issuing checks, obligations also may be liquidated
(and outlays recorded) by the accrual of interest on public issues of
Treasury debt securities (including an increase in the redemption
value of bonds outstanding); or by the issuance of bonds, delsentures, notes,

than as outlays. However, payments for earned-income tax credits in
excess of tax liabilities are treated as outlays rather than as a
reduction in receipts. Outlays during a fiscal year may tie for
payment of obligations incurred in prior years or in the same year.
Outlays, therefore, flow in part from unexpended balances of prior
year budget authority and in part from budget authority provided for
the year in which the money is spent. Total outlays include both

Nevertheless, the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit
Control Act of 1985 (commonly known as the Gramm-RudmanHollings Act) included the off-budget surplus or deficit in calculating
the deficit targets under that act and in calculating the excess deficit
for purposes of that act. Partly because of this reason, attention has
focused on the total receipts, outlays, and deficit of the Federal
Government instead of the on-budget amounts alone.

FEDERAL FISCAL OPERATIONS
Budget Results

for the Fourth Quarter, Fiscal

1987

Summary
The Federal budget for the fourth quarter of fiscal 1987
was in deficit by about $28-3/4 billion, a sharp narrowing
from a deficit of $54-1/4 billion in the comparable quarter of
the preceding year. For the entire 1987 fiscal year, the deficit
was $148 billion, off by one-third from a deficit of $221 billion
in the prior fiscal year. The sharp drop in the deficit in fiscal
1 987 reflected a large 1 1 -percent rise in receipts, boosted by
the effects of tax reform, and only a modest increase of 1-1/2
percent in outlays. This was the smallest year-to-year
increase in outlays in more than two decades.
In

up 9-3/4 percent from the corresponding

military pay period from September into fiscal 1988 held
down these figures. Spending on agriculture, commerce and

the fourth quarter of this fiscal year was below year earlier
expenditures. Full fiscal year spending in most of these

hand, fourth-quarter spending rose from a year earlier for
social security, income security, veterans' benefits, and
health care, though in each case, increases were less than
anticipated last summer in the midsession review of the
budget. Undistributed offsetting receipts (a negative outlay

In most cases the transaction involves merely the transfer of funds from

On occasion, to the extent authorized by the Treasury,
financial
institutions are permitted to deposit in these accounts
proceeds from subscriptions to public debt securities entered for their
own account as well as for the accounts of their customers.

The tax and loan system permits the Treasury to collect funds
through financial institutions and to leave the funds in Note Option
depositaries and in the financial commjnities in which they arise until
such time as the Treasury needs the funds for its operations.
In this
way the Treasury is able to neutralize the effect of its fluctuating
operations on Note Option financial
institution reserves and the
economy.

FEDERAL DEBT
INTRODUCTION

Treasury securities

(i.e.,

public debt securities) comprise

most

of

the Federal debt, with securities issued by other Federal agencies
accounting for the remainder. In addition to the data on the Federal

debt presented in the tables in this section of the quarteriy Treasury
Bulletin, the Treasury publishes detailed data on the public debt
outstanding in the IVIonthly Statement of the Public Debt of the
United States and on agency securities and the investments of
Federal Government accounts in Federal securities in the Monthly
Treasury Statement of Receipts and Outlays of the United States

Government.

whose securities are presented in the memorandum section of table
FD-4, are not agencies of the Federal Government, nor are their
securities presented in table FD-4 guaranteed by the Federal

Government.

Table FD-5.-Maturlty Distribution and Average Length of
Marketable Interest-Bearing Public Debt Held by Private
Investors

Table FD-1 .--Summary of Federal Debt

The Federal debt outstanding is summarized as to holdings of
public debt and agency securities by the public, which includes the
Federal Reserve, and by Federal agencies, largely the social
security and other Federal retirement trust funds. Greater detail on
holdings of Federal securities by particular classes of investors is
presented in the ownership tables, OFS-1 and OFS-2, of the

Treasury Bulletin.

are presented as to type of security. The difference
between interest-bearing and total public debt securities reflects
outstanding matured Treasury securities on which interest has
ceased to accrue. The Federal Financing Bank (FFB) is under the
supervision of the Treasury, and FFB securities shown in this table
are held by a U.S. Government account.
Interest-bearing

securities

Table FD-3.-Government Account Series

The average maturity of the privately held marketable Treasury
debt has increased gradually since it hit a trough of 2 years, 5
months, in December 1975. In March 1971, the Congress enacted a
limited exception to the 4-1/4-perc8nt interest rate ceiling on
Treasury bonds that permitted the Treasury to offer securities
maturing in more than 7 years at current market rates of interest for
the first time since 1965. The exception to the 4-1/4-percent interest
rate ceiling has been expanded since 1971 to authorize the Treasury
to continue to issue long-term securities. The volume of privately
held Treasury marketable securities by maturity class reflects the
remaining period to maturity of Treasury bills, notes, and bonds, and
the average length comprises an average of remaining periods to
maturity, weighted by the amount of each security held by private
investors (i.e., excludes the Government accounts and Federal
Reserve banks).

Table FD-6.~Debt Subject to Statutory Limitation

The statutory debt ceiling is compared with the outstanding debt
subject to limit. The other debt category includes certain Federal
debt that the Congress has designated by statute to be subject to the
debt

OWNERSHIP OF FEDERAL SECURITIES
INTRODUCTION

Federal securities presented in these tables comprise public
debt securities issued by the Treasury and debt issued by other
Federal agencies under special financing authorities. See the
Federal debt (FD) series of tables for a more complete description of
the Federal debt.

Table OFS-1 .-Distribution of Federal Securities by Class of
Investors and Type of issues
Holdings of Treasury mari<etable and nonmari^etable securities
and of debt issued by other Federal agencies are presented for
Government accounts, the Federal Reserve banks, and private
investors. Government account holdings largely reflect investment by
the social security and Federal retirement trust funds. The Federal
Reserve banks acquire Treasury securities in the market as a means
of executing monetary policy.

Table OFS-2.-Estimated Ownership of Public Debt Securities
by Private investors
Privately held Treasury securities sire those held by investors
other than the Government accounts and Federal Reserve banks.
Treasury obtains information on private holdings from a variety of
sources, such as data gathered by the Federal financial institution
regulatory agencies. State and local holdings and foreign holdings
include special issues of nonmarketable securities to municipal
entities and foreign official accounts, as vtrell as municipal and

and private holdings of marketable Treasury

The Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) was established under
the Gold Reserve Act of January 30. 1934(31 U.S.C. 822a). This act
authorized the establishment in the Department of the Treasury of a
stabilization fund to

be operated under the exclusive control of the

Secretary of the Treasury, with the approval of the President, for the
purpose of stabilizing the exchange value of the dollar. Subsequent
amendment of the Gold Reserve Act modified the original purpose

History
Monthly statements of currency and coin outstanding and in
have been published by the Department of the Treasury
since 1888. These statements were originally prepared by the
Division of Loans and Currency, which was then under the Office of
the Secretary of the Treasury but later became part of the Public
Debt Service (currently known as the Bureau of the Public Debt) in
1929. The statement was published with the title "Circulation
Statement of United States Money" from 1923 through December
31, 1965. Concurrently, from December 31, 1919, to September 30,
1951, the Office of the U.S. Treasurer published a statement entitled
"Monthly Statement-Paper Currency
of
Each Denomination
Outstanding." Two months after the Office of the U.S. Treasurer
assumed publication of the "Circulation Statement of United States
Money," a revision was made to the statement to include denomination detail of the currency in circulation. Publication of the "Monthly
Statement-Paper Currency of Each Denomination Outstanding" was
discontinued, and the revised version which combines information
from both statements is now known as the United States Currency
and Coin Outstanding and in Circulation Statement. The statement in
1983 ceased to be published as a separate, monthly release and
instead was incorporated into the quarterly Treasury Bulletin as a

Reporting Sources
Data used in the preparation of the U.S. Currency and Coin
Outstanding and in Circulation Statement is derived from monthly
reports required from Treasury offices, various U.S. Mint offices, the
Federal Reserve banks, and the Federal Reserve Board. Such
reports convey information about the amount, class, and denomination of new issues of cun-ency and/or coin, of destroyed and replaced
currency, and of currency and coins withdrawn from circulation.
Estimates of population from the Bureau of the Census are used in
the calculation of money circulated per capita.
