MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY
In 1989, we proudly mark not only the
bicentennial of the Department of the Treasury,
but also the fiftieth year of the publication of the
Treasury Bulletin.

The Bulletin is a valuable, lasting record entrusted with enhancing the public's understanding of the Federal Government's financial operations. For fifty years it has served as an indispensable source of timely fiscal, debt, and international statistical information.
In 1939, then-Secretary of the Treasury
Jr., defined the Bulletin's
purpose: "to extend knowledge of the public

Henry Morgenthau,

finances, monetary developments and activities
of the Treasury Department by making information available in a more compact and usable
form." World and national events since then have
increasingly underscored the need for accurate,
rehable economic and financial information. In
the model set forth by Secretary Morgenthau,
the Bulletin has more than adequately answered
that need. I commend the Financial Management
Service for maintaining this tradition of
excellence.

a general waiver of sharing or negative pledge clauses for

permit negotiations on a broad range of voluntary debt or

debt or debt service reduction within a relatively short

which could be structured so as to safeguard the financial
positions of the Fund and the Bank, could be made available
on a rolling basis for a limited period of time. These efforts
should help catalyze market activity which could ease debt
service burdens, improve debtors' creditworthiness, and
provide an impetus to growth. These actions should,
therefore, be beneficial to both debtors and creditors alike.

February 22, 1989, the Department of the Treasury
released a "Report to Congress on the Taxation of Income

The "Report on the Taxation of Social Security and Railroad Retirement Benefits In Calendar Year 1986" was released by the Department of the Treasury on February 27,
1989. In the report. Treasury presents estimates of the tax
liability resulting from the taxation of Social Security and
railroad retirement benefits received by high-income taxpayers during 1986. The Social Security Amendments Act of
1983 requires that taxes on Social Security and railroad retirement benefits be transferred by Treasury to the appropriate trust funds. Based on actual 1986 tax returns, the report

1991 will be slightly more than $20 billion. The report also
analyzes the income distribution of beneficiaries and finds

Sixth Report on Possessions Corporations
The Department of the Treasury's sixth report on "The

analysis of the impact of section 936 of the Internal Revenue
Code on Federal tax revenues and on employment and investment in the possessions. Almost all activity by possessions corporations is in Puerto Rico, which is the focus of
most of the data and analysis presented. The tax data analyzed in the report covers tax years ending between July 1
1983, and June 30, 1984. It is therefore the first Possessions

Section 114 of the Budget and Accounting Procedures Act of
1950 (31 use. 3513a) requires the Secretary of the Treasury to
prepare reports on the financial operations of the U.S. Government.

collections. Budget receipts are collections from the public that result

The first 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

also called governmental receipts, consist mainly of tax receipts

Collections credited to appropriation or fund accounts normally can
be used without appropriation action by Congress. These occur in

Budget authority usually takes the form 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,

two instances:

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).

Offsetting receipts in receipt accounts cannot be used without
being appropriated. They are subdivided into two categories: (1)

Budget authority can be made available by Congress for
obligations 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.

When

budget authority is made available by Congress for a
specific period of time, any part not obligated during that period
expires and cannot be used later. Congressional actions that extend
the availability of unobligated amounts that have expired or would
otherwise expire are known as reappropriations. The amounts
involved are counted as new budget authority in the fiscal year of the
legislation in which the reappropriation action is included, regardless
of

the

or

would otherwise lapse.
Ouf/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, debentures, notes, monetary credits, or electronic payments. Refunds of
collections generally are treated as reductions of collections, rather
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 be tor
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

group; and (3) trust intrafund transactions, where the payments and
receipts both occur within the trust fund group.
Offsetting receipts are generally deducted from budget authority

For Federal budget presentation a concept ol "net obligations incurred" is generally used.
This concept eliminates transaclions within the Government and revenue and reimbursements from the public which by statute may be used by Government agencies without
appropriation action by the Congress. Summary figures on this basis follow. (Data are on
the basis of Reports on Obligations presentation and therefore may differ somewhat from
the Budget of the U.S. Government.)

ACCOUNT OF THE

TREASURY

SOURCE AND AVAILABILITY OF THE BALANCE IN THE ACCOUNT OF THE
The operating cash of the Treasury is maintained in Treasury's
accounts with the Federal Reserve banks and branches and in tax
and loan accounts. Major information sources include the Daily
Balance Wire received from the Federal Reserve banks and
branches, and electronic transfers through the Treasury Financial
Communications System As the balances in the accounts at the
Federal Reserve banks become depleted, they are restored by
calling in (withdrawing) funds from thousands of financial institutions
throughout the country authorized to maintain tax and loan accounts.

Law 95-147, the Treasury implemented
1978, to invest a portion of its operating cash
and loan accounts.
Under the Treasury tax and loan investment program, depositary
financial institutions select the manner in which they will participate
in the program. Depositaries that wish to retain funds deposited in
their t?j< and loan accounts in interest-bearing obligations participate
under the Note Option; depositaries that wish to remit the funds to
the Treasury's account at Federal Reserve banks participate under
the Remittance Option.

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 communities 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 quarterly Treasury
Bulletin, the Treasury publishes detailed data on the public debt
outstanding in the Monthly 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

This table does not cover Fedagency borrowing from the Treasury, which is presented in the
Monthly Treasury Statement of Receipts and Outlays of the United
States Government The Government-sponsored entities, whose

Table

Tabic FD-l.-Summary of Federal Debt

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-percent 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 secunties. 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.,

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 tatjies for a more complete description of the
Federal debt.

Table OFS-l.-Distribution of Federal Securities by Class of Investors

and Type of Issues
Holdings of Treasury marketable and nonmarketable 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.-Estiniated Ownership of Public Debt Securities Held by
Private Investors
Privately held Treasury securities are 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 enti-

and foreign official accounts, as well as municipal and foreign
and private holdings of marketable Treasury securities. Data
on foreign holdings of marketable Treasury securities are presented
ties

official

the capital movements tables in the Treasury Bulletin.

FEDERAL AGENCIES' FINANCIAL REPORTS
INTRODUCTION
Section 114 of the Budget and Accounting Procedures Act of
(31 use. 3513a) requires tfie Secretary of the Treasury to
prepare reports on the financial operations of the U.S. Government
and provides that each executive agency must furnish the Secretary
of the Treasury such reports and information relating to the agency's
financial condition and operations as the Secretary may require. The
provisions do not apply to the legislative and judicial branches of the
Federal Government; however, these entities are encouraged to
submit the prescribed reports so the Secretary of the Treasury can
prepare comprehensive reports on all the financial activities of the

1950

U.S. Government.

Manual (I TFM 2-4100) sets the criteria
annual and quarterly financial reports in accordance with the Reporting Entities Listing (Bulletin No. 88-11). Reports are provided for six fund types; Revolving funds, trust revolving
funds, 15 major trust funds, all other trust funds, all other activity
combined, and consolidated reports of an organizational unit. The
financial transactions supporting the required reports are to be accounted for on the accrual basis. The Report on Operations can be
submitted on a cash basis under certain circumstances (see TFM
2-4180.20). Reports are to be prepared from a budgeting and accounting system which contains an integrated data base that is part
of the agency's integrated financial management system as required
by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-127.

conducted in the territories or overseas, and any monetary
assets or property received, spent, or otherwise accounted for by the
reporting entity. Amounts are reported to the dollar.
tions

Requirements provide that Federal agencies submit to Treasury
four financial reports supplemented by three supporting reports
which are consolidated and published annually in the winter issue of
the Treasury Bulletin. These reports are; Report on Financial Position (SF 220), Report on Operations (SF 221), Report on Cash Flow
(SF 222), and Report on Reconciliation (SF 223). The three supporting reports are; Direct and Guaranteed Loans Reported by Agency
and Program Due from the Public (SF 220-8), Report on Accounts
and Loans Receivable Due from the Public (SF 220-9), and Additional Financial Information (SF 220-1). The report on Direct and
Guaranteed Loans is submitted to Treasury quarterly, and annually
for publication in the Treasury Bulletin. The Report on Accounts and
Loans Receivable Due from the Public is submitted quarterly on a
selected basis, and by all entities annually. Information captured in
the SF 220-8 is shown in the following table;

INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL STATISTICS
These indices are presented to provide measures of the general
exchange value of the dollar that are broader than those
provided by single exchange rate levels. They do not purport to
represent a guide to measuring the impact of exchange rate levels
foreign

on U.S. international transactions. The indices are computed as
geometric averages of individual currency levels with weights
derived from the share of each country's trade with the United States

during 1982-83.

These

series replace indices previously appearing

in

the Treasury Bulletin which calculated the trade-weighted arithmetic

average of percentage changes in exchange rates. The current
series should be more robust than previous ones although for small
smooth changes in exchange rates the two sets of calculations yield
the

same

information.

In general, data are reported opposite the foreign country or
geographical area in which the foreigner is domiciled, as shown on
the records of reporting institutions. For a number of reasons, the
geographical breakdown of the reported data may not in all cases
reflect the ultimate ownership of the assets. Reporting institutions
are not expected to go beyond the addresses shown on their
records, and so may not be aware of the country of domicile of the
ultimate beneficiary.
Furthermore, U.S. liabilities arising from
deposits of dollars with foreign banks are reported in the Treasury
statistics as liabilities to foreign banks, whereas the liability of the

Description of Statistics

Section
presents data on liabilities to foreigners reported by
banks, other depository institutions, brokers, and dealers in the
United States. Beginning Apnl 1978, the following major changes
were made in the reporting coverage; Amounts due to banks' own
foreign offices are reported separately; a previous distinction
between short-term and long-term liabilities was eliminated; a
separation was provided of the liabilities of the respondents
themselves from their custody liabilities to foreigners; and foreign
currency liabilities are only available quarteriy. Also, beginning April
1978, the data on liabilities were made more complete by extending
to securities brokers and dealers the requirement to report certain of
their own liabilities and all of their custody liabilities to foreigners.
Effective as of January 31 1985, savings and loan associations and
other thrift institutions began to file the TIC banking forms. Previously
they had reported on TIC forms for nonbanking enterprises.

Section II presents the claims on foreigners reported by banks,
other depository institutions, and brokers and dealers in the United
States Beginning with data reported as of the end of April 1978, a
distinction was made between banks' claims held for their own
account and claims held for their domestic customers The former
are available in a monthly series whereas the latter data are
collected on a quarteriy basis only. Also, the distinction

long-term and short-term components of banks' claims was

remaining to maturity basis as opposed to the historic onginal
maturity classitication. Foreign currency claims are also collected on

Another important change in the claims reporting, beginning
quarterly data as of June 30, 1978, was the adoption of a
broadened concept of "foreign public borrower," which replaced the
previous category of "foreign official institution" to produce more
meaningful information on lending to the public sector of foreign
countries. The term "foreign public borrower" encompasses central
governments and departments of central governments of foreign
countries and of their possessions; foreign central banks, stabi-

with

claims held through banks in the United States. Beginning with data
reported as of December 31, 1978, financial liabilities and claims of
reporting enterprises are distinct from their commercial liabilities and
claims; and items are collected on a time remaining to maturity basis
instead of the original maturity basis used previously.

includes supplementary statistics on U.S. banks'
and claims on, foreigners. The supplementary data on
banks' loans and credits to nonbank foreigners combine selected
information from the TIC reports with data from the monthly Federal
Reserve 2502 reports submitted for major foreign branches of U.S.
banks. Other supplementary data on U.S. banks' dollar liabilities to,
and banks' own dollar claims on, countries not regularly reported
separately are available semiannually in the June and December

Section V contains data on transactions in all types of long-term
domestic and foreign securities by foreigners as reported by banks,
brokers, and other entities in the United States (except nonmarketable U.S. Treasury notes, foreign series; and nonmarketable
U.S. Treasury bonds and notes, foreign currency sehes, which are

shown in the "International Financial Statistics" section, table IFS-3).
The data cover new issues of securities, transactions in outstanding
issues, and redemptions of securities. They include transactions
executed in the United States for the account of foreigners, and
transactions executed abroad for the account of reporting institutions
and their domestic customers. The data include some transactions

FOREIGN CURRENCY POSITIONS
INTRODUCTION
Background
Data have been collected since 1974 on the foreign currency
positions of banks and nonbanking firms in the United States, and on
those of foreign branches, majority-owned foreign partnerships, and
majority-owned foreign subsidiaries of U.S. banks and nonbanking
firms. Reports cover five major foreign exchange market currencies
and U.S. dollars held abroad. Reporting has been required pursuant
of Public Law 93-110, an amendment to the Par Value
to title
Modification Act of September 21, 1973, and implementing Treasury
regulations. Statistics on the positions have been published since
March 1977 beginning with data for December 1975.
II

"Majority-owned foreign partnerships" are those organized under the laws of a foreign country in which one or more nonbanking
concerns or nonprofit institutions in the United States, directly or
indirectly, own more than 50 percent profit interest. "Majority-owned
foreign subsidiaries" are foreign corporations in which one or more
nonbanking business concerns or nonprofit institutions located in the
United States, directly or indirectly, own stock with more than 50
percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock
entitled to vote, or more than 50 percent of the total value of all
classes of stock.

Reporting Threshold

The

report forms

and

instructions

data were revised effective with reports as of March 16, 1983, for the
weekly reports. The most recent revision of the nonbank foreign
currency forms (see below) became effective as of the last business
day of March 1983.

The exemption level applicable to banks and banking instituwas $10 million equivalent through January 1982, when was
$100 million. The exemption level applicable to nonbanking
business concerns and nonprofit institutions was $1 million equivalent on all nonbank forms from March 1975 through November 1976.
It was raised to $2 million equivalent on the monthly reports of positions held in the United States from November 1976 through September 1978. The exemption level was raised to $3 million on foreign
subsidiary positions on June 30, 1977, and for positions held in the
United States on September 30, 1978. The exemption level for nonbanking firms was raised to $100 million on positions in the United
States in January 1982 and on foreign branch and subsidiaries positions in March 1982.

The statement defines the total amount of currency and coin
outstanding and the portion of which is deemed to be in circulation.
Although it still includes some old and cun-ent rare issues of coin and
currency which do not circulate or may do so to a limited extent,
Treasury policy is to continue their inclusion in the statement since
such issues were originally intended for general circulation. The
statement also provides a brief description of the various issues of
U.S. paper money and further presents a comparative

History

Statements of cun-ency and coin outstanding and in circulation
have been published by the Department of the Treasury since 1888.
These statements were originally prepared monthly 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 Decemt)er 31, 1965. Con-

December 31, 1919, to September 30, 1951, the
Office of the U.S. Treasurer published a statement entitled "Monthly

lssue-1863 ($5 to $1,000 notes), (d) Fourth lssue--1863
$10,000 notes), and (e) Fifth lssue-1901 ($10 notes)
