.BUDGET RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES.

Footnotes to Tables

For further detail, see tables under "Internal Revenue Collections."
Breakdown was not made In the Dally Treasury Statement for years
prior to 1951*.
Beginning January 1951, the distribution of receipts between Individual income taxes and old-age insurance taxes ia made In accordance
with provisions of Sec. 109 (a) (2) of the Social Security Act Amendments of 1950, for appropriation to the Federal Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance Trust Fund (see footnote 11).
Taxes on employers and employees under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, as amended (26 U.S.C. IUOO-1U32) and, beginning with the
taxable year 1951* tax on self-employed individuals under the SelfEmployment Contributions Act (26 U.S.C. l*-80-U82).
Taxes on carriers and their employees under the Railroad Retirement
Tax Act (26 U.S.C. 1500-1538).
Tax on employers of 8 or more under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act,
as amended (26 U.S.C. l600-l6ll).
Through 1953 y contributions to the Railroad Unemployment Insurance
Administration Fund were carried in the Dally Treasury Statement as
miscellaneous receipts, while the 1956 Budget document Includes them
In employment taxes for those years. This difference in classification accounts for the difference in figures from the two sources.
After 1953 the contributions are credited direct to the trust account.
For amounts of the contributions, see "Treasury Bulletin" for
February 1951*, page 7.
As announced February 17, 195** (see April 195^ "Treasury Bulletin,"
page A-2); see also page 1, footnote 6.
In the 1956 Budget document, Internal revenue taxes not otherwise
classified are Included in miscellaneous receipts.
Includes proceeds from sale of surplus property and from Governmentowned securities; seigniorage; deposits resulting from renegotiation
of war contracts (Bee "Treasury Bulletin" for February I9U8, page 5);
and railroad unemployment insurance contributions for administrative
expenses through 1953 j after which they are carried as trust account
receipts under the Railroad Retirement Board.
lit Amounts appropriated to the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance
Trust Fund are equivalent to the amounts of taxes collected and
deposited for old-age insurance (1*2 U.S.C. 1+01 (a)). The Social
Security Act Amendments of 1950, approved August 28, I95O
(6*t Stat. ^77), changed in certain respects the basis of transferring
the appropriated funds to the trust fund. Beginning January 1951,
the amounts transferred currently as appropriations to the trust fund
are based on estimates of old-age insurance tax receipts made by the
Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to the provisions of Sec. 109 (a) (2)
of the Amendments of 1950, and are adjusted In later transfers on the
basis of wage and self -employment income records maintained in the
Social Security Administration.
¥U Excludes the Government's contribution for creditable military service
under the act of April 8, 1$h2 (56 Stat. 20U). Beginning 1952, amounts
are appropriated to the Railroad Retirement Account equal to the amount
of taxes under the Railroad Retirement Tax Act deposited In the
Treasury, less refunds, during each fiscal year (65 Stat. 222 and
66 Stat. 371), and transfers are made currently. Previously, annual
appropriations were based, in effect, on estimated tax collections, with
any necessary adjustments made in succeeding appropriations.
Interest on refunds is included In Table 5 under "Other."
Expenditures are "net," after allowance for reimbursements to appropriations, receipts of revolving fund appropriations, and receipts credited
to disbursing accounts of corporations and agencies having authority to
use collections without formal covering Into the Treasury. The figures
include transfers to trust accounts . They exclude net Investments of
wholly owned Government corporations and agencies in public debt securities beginning 1951 (when these Investments were grouped with those of
trust funds and accounts), and public debt retirements chargeable to the
sinking fund, etc., under special provisions of law. Payments to the
Treasury, principally by wholly owned Government corporations, for retirement of capital stock and disposition of earnings are excluded from
both receipts and expenditures. Further information on theBe capital
transfers may be found in the 1953 Annual Report of the Secretary of
the Treasury, page 332.
Beginning November 19^9, interest on the public debt is reported as an
expenditure when such interest becomes due and payable, as distinguished
from the previous practice of showing the expenditure on the basis of
Interest paid by the Treasurer of the United States.
Consists of Veterans' Administration expenditures, including the direct
loan program.
Includes transactions relating to the Foreign Economic Cooperation
Trust Fund (see page l).
Net transactions by the Departments of the Air Force and the Army relating to "Deposit fund accounts" are Included under "Trust Account

A more detailed breakdown became effective in the Monthly Statement for

national security (direct forces support) on the other. Figures for
the reclassified Items are not available by months for July through

As shown in ths "Monthly Statement of Receipts and Expenditures of the
United States Government"; consists of changes in chscks and interest
coupons outstanding and telegraphic reports from Federal Reserve Banks,
and beginning with the fiscal year 195^> also changes in deposits in
transit and cash held outside the Treasury.
Net investments of Government agencies in public debt securities and
net redemptions of obligations of Government agencies in the market.
Since deposit funds (net) are included under trust account expenditures, the interest received by corporations not wholly owned is
carried there as a negative expenditure. Thus when budget expenditures and trust account expenditures are combined, the payment and
receipt of this Interest offset each other. Payment of interest to
wholly owned Government corporations Is offset because it is treated
as a negative budget expenditure when received by the corporations.
Less than $500,000.

saTinge bonds has resulted In a high level of redemptions not jet
classified betveen matured and unmatured bonds. This Increase temporarily obscures the relationship betveen the redemption columns
shoving sales price and accrued discount In Tables 2 through k and
also the relationship betveen the matured and unmatured sections of
Table U. (See also footaote k.)
The subsequent distribution of
this high level of unclassified redemptions may be large enough In
any month to shov redemptions of matured bonds for a serlee In
Table k which are greater than the total redemptions of that series
as Bhovn in Table 3, and to shov a negative in the unmatured section
of TeMe k.
Sales began June 1, 1952.
Comparable data are not available prior to January 1950.
Includes exchanges of Series 19^1 F and G savings bonds for Treasury
3-1 A* bonds of 1978-83.
