outlaw such futures or to regulate them to a point where they

derivatives

Likewise, the Treasury Department has repeatedly stated
view that the blunt approach of Government intervention
to stop program trading is an inappropriate way to address
problems of excessive market volatility. Rather than trying to
restrict particular trading strategies, it would be far better to
focus on the fundamental mechanisms of the individual
markets and the inconsistency of intermarket regulation that
can themselves engender unnecessary volatility.
its

to restrict program trading, like the one
approved by the House Energy and Commerce
Committee, represent a fragmented approach that itself
could be disruptive. Because this type of provision would
apply only in the stock market,
could promote ad hoc
responses to market turmoil that would create additional
uncertainty, which in turn could actually destabilize markets
because of the lack of coordination.

Provisions

it

The other countries with major securities markets do not
fragment their regulation this way. Japan, the United
Kingdom, and France, which together with the United States
account for 90 percent of global futures trading, recognize
the "one market" reality--each country assures that regulation of stocks, options, and futures is coordinated by a single
regulator. Yet here in the United States, by reason of
historical accident, the Securities

and Exchange Commission

regulates stocks and stock options, while the

Commodity

Futures Trading Commission regulates stock index futures.

it

Indeed, the uncertain application of restrictions on trading
strategies could simply drive market participants to foreign

markets to execute the stock side of program trades. This
would directly reduce the competitiveness of U.S. markets.
Accordingly we continue to strongly oppose program trading
restrictions as overly broad and potentially harmful. Instead,
we believe that Senator D'Amato's amendment to the Market
Reform bill, which would require the SEC to report on the
adequacy of its current authority to protect against market
manipulation or fraud caused by program trading, is a more
constructive approach.

The Need

Regulatory Fragmentation

While banning futures or program trading is not the right
approach to addressing intermarket problems, other steps
can and should be taken. One is the enactment of S.648,
"The Market Reform Act of 1989," which is clearly a step in
the right direction.

Innovation. -\n the past, fragmented regulation sometimes
promoted innovation. Competition between Chicago and
New York markets spurred new product development, while
the practices of different regulators often promoted diversity,
experimentation, and creativity.

But regulatory competition also begets jurisdictional
squabbles, which can strangle innovation. New products are
not merely stifled; they quickly move to overseas markets.
is demonstrated only too well by the recent skirmish
over a new "hybrid" product called index participations. The
battle over whether it is a stock or a futures product continues to rage in our courts. Meanwhile, trading of the new
product has stopped in the United States and begun in
Toronto, with London soon to follow.

This

My point is this: with the globalization of financial
markets, other countries have provided us all the regulatory
we need. We can no longer afford intramural
squabbling that stifles innovation at home and drives
important business overseas.

Market mechanisms. -Secrelary Brady has often cited the
problems created by conflicting rules applying to fundamental
market mechanisms, including unharmonized margin
requirements, uncoordinated circuit breakers, inconsistent
short selling rules, and discrete clearance and settlement
systems. Taken together, they foster excessive volatility,
heighten risk, and drive investors away from markets.
For example, low futures margins indirectly permit high
in stocks. This leverage creates the potential for
major market disruptions, starling in the futures market and
washing back to the stock market. The active use of this
leverage has the potential, when concentrated in short
periods of time, to punch a hole in the fabric of the market.

as a percentage of gross

corporate taxes were at their peak as a percentage of total

percent of GNP; by 1986, this percentage had fallen to 5.1

Although the level of Federal corporate receipts rose
from the mid-1 950's to 1986, they fell as a percentage of
1986, the declining trend in the
relative importance of the corporate tax has been reversed.

In 1980, corporate income taxes also accounted for 8
percent of total tax receipts in the 22 OECD countries. Thus,
there does not appear to be any general trend toward
increased or decreased reliance on corporate taxes among

OECD countries.

percentage of income tax receipts accounted for by corporate taxes increased from 15 percent in 1986 to 19

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 (1986 act) made significant
changes to the corporate tax system. These changes were
expected to increase corporate tax receipts significantly. Our
most recent estimates indicate that the 1986 act will increase
corporate tax receipts by $140 billion over the 1987-91
period.

Financing Health and Long-Term Care
The Treasury report, "Financing Health and Long-Term

The report contains no specific recommendations, but instead presents for further consideration and analysis various
financing options. The options include adjusting pension,
and individual retirement account payments for
long-term care contingencies; clarifying the tax treatment of

The Taxation of Life Insurance Company Products
In its "Report to the Congress on the Taxation of Life
Insurance Company Products," Treasury evaluates the effectiveness of recent changes in the tax treatment of life insurance and annuity products in preventing the sale of life insurance primarily for investment purposes. The report also
evaluates the policy justifications for and practical implications of the current tax treatment of the investment earnings
on life insurance and annuity products. It concludes that re-

cent tax legislation has curtailed certain tax shelter investments using life insurance and annuity contracts. The report
also questions whether the favorable tax treatment of life

insurance company products is the most effective means of
encouraging private insurance protection and long-term
savings.

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, 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 for

Offsetting receipts in receipt accounts cannot be used without

are offset against outlays by agency and by function, and (2)

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

FEDERAL FISCAL OPERATIONS
Budget Results for the Second Quarter, Fiscal 1990

Summary
The Federal budget deficit in the second quarter of fiscal
1990 totaled $80-1/3 billion, up from $60-3/4 billion in the
second quarter of fiscal 1989. For the first 6 months of fiscal

for the health

1990, the deficit was $151 billion, or $22-1/2 billion wider
than for the same period of fiscal 1989 when the deficit for
the full fiscal year was $152 billion. Outlays during the first
half of fiscal 1990 were up 7 percent from a year earlier,
while receipts increased by 4 percent. In the Budget of the
U.S. Government, Fiscal Year 1991, released early this year,
a deficit of $124 billion was projected for the full year fiscal
1990.

quarter of fiscal 1989. Outlays for national defense in the
second quarter increased almost 5 percent from a year ago

Outlays in terms of major functional category in the second quarter of fiscal 1990 were up almost across the board
from the readings of a year earlier. There had been a more

mixed pattern in the first quarter. In the second quarter, increased spending by the Resolution Trust Corporation

Employment taxes and contributlons.-Employment
taxes and contributions increased from $68.7 billion during
the first quarter of fiscal 1989 to $72.7 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 1990. Two adjustments were made to the Social
Security trust funds during the quarter. The old-age survivors, disability, and health insurance (OASDHI) trust funds
were adjusted to reflect actual withholding data from 1988.
As a consequence, $0.1 billion was returned to the withheld
individual income tax account. This adjustment was smaller
than a comparable adjustment in the previous year when the
trust fund was reduced by $0.6 billion to reflect 1987 withholding data. Based on self-employment earnings reported
on tax returns from 1987 and prior years, the OASDHI trust
funds were increased by $0.1 billion, and the nonwithheld
individual income tax account was decreased accordingly. In
the prior year, the adjustment to the trust funds for selfemployment taxes was $0.3 billion.

Excise taxes.-Excise tax receipts for the Octoberquarter were $8.7 billion, compared with
$9.4 billion for the comparable quarter of fiscal 1989. Yearto-year comparisons of excise tax receipts have been affected by changes in timing of collections and refunds of fuel
lax receipts. The decrease of $0.7 billion in net excise
receipts from the comparable prior year level is primarily the
result of these timing factors.

December 1989

Estate and gift taxes.-Estate and gift tax receipts were
$2.4 billion in the October through December quarter of
1989. This represents an increase of $0.3 billion over the
previous quarter as well as over the same quarter in the previous year.

ACCOUNT OF THE

U.S.

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 Letter of Credit
Payment, Fedline Payment, and Fedwire Deposit Systems. 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
in obligations of depositaries maintaining tax 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 tax 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.

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
had been expanded since 1971 to authorize the Treasury to continue
to issue long-term securities. The 4-1/4-percent interest rate ceiling
on Treasury bonds was repealed on November 10, 1988 The volume of privately held Treasury marketable securities by maturity

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-I.-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

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 well as municipal and foreign
official and private holdings of marketable Treasury securities. Data
on foreign holdings of marketable Treasury securities are presented
in the capital movements tables in the Treasury Bulletin. See the
other than the

footnotes for descriptions of the investor categories.

FEDERAL AGENCIES' FINANCIAL REPORTS
INTRODUCTION

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
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
U.S. Government.

1950

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 TFI^
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,

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
reports supplemented by three supporting reports
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 folfour financial

Actual control of credit program levels remains with authorizing legislation and appropriations acts. The report on Direct and Guaranteed
Loans also provides the Federal Reserve Board information to
monitor the flow of funds. An accompanying chart depicts direct
loans and guaranteed loans for the first quarter of fiscal 1 990.

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 US 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.

CAPITAL MOVEMENTS
INTRODUCTION

Background
Data relating to capital movements between the United States
and foreign countries have been collected in some form since 1935.
Reports are filed with district Federal Reserve banks by commercial
banks, other depository institutions, bank holding companies,
securities brokers and dealers, and nonbanking enterprises in the
United States. Statistics on the principal types of data by country or
geographical area are then consolidated and are published in the
Treasury Bulletin.

reporting.

Banks, other depository institutions, and some brokers and
dealers file monthly reports covering their dollar liabilities to, and
dollar claims on, foreigners in a number of countries. Twice a year,
as of June 30 and December 31, they also report the same liabilities
and claims items with respect to foreigners in countries not shown
separately on the monthly reports. Quarterly reports are filed with

Quarterly reports are

The term "foreigner" as used in the Treasury reports covers all
institutions and individuals domiciled outside the United States,
including U.S. citizens domiciled abroad, and the foreign branches,
subsidiaries, and other affiliates abroad of U.S. banks and business
concerns; the central governments, central banks, and other official
institutions of foreign countries, wherever located; and international
and regional organizations, wherever located. The term "foreigner"
also includes persons in the United States to the extent that they are
known by reporting institutions to be acting on behalf of foreigners.
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

Description of Statistics

Section
presents data on liabilities to foreigners reported by
banks, other depository institutions, brokers, and dealers in the
United States. Beginning April 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
I

themselves from their custody liabilities to foreigners; and foreign
currency liabilities are only available quarterly. 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 11 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 quarterly basis only. Also, the distinction in reporting

thrift institutions.

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

The term

"foreign public borrower"

encompasses

governments and departments of central governments of foreign
countries and of their possessions; foreign central banks, stabilization funds, and exchange authorities; corporations and other
agencies of central governments, including development banks,
development institutions, and other agencies which are majorityowned by the central government or its departments; State,
provincial, and local governments of foreign countries and their
departments and agencies; and any international or regional
organization or subordinate or affiliated agency thereof, created by
treaty or convention between sovereign states.

exclude 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
also

used previously.
Section V contains data on transactions in all types of long-term
domestic and foreign securities by foreigners as reported by banks,

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 series, which are
brokers,

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
which are classified as direct investments in the balance of

payments accounts.

The

III
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

with U.S. residents; but the net figures for transactions of individual
countries and areas may include some transactions between

History

Statements of currency 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 t^oney" 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
statement to include denomination detail of the
Publication of the "Monthly Statement- Paper
Currency of Each Denomination Outstanding" was discontinued, and
the revised version which combines information from both statements became 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 special

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 currency 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.
