EXPLANATION OF ESTIMATES FOR TRUST FUNDS Part II contains detailed schedules and explanatory statements on the various trust funds, together with a summary table covering the trust funds, the deposit funds, and certain Government-sponsored enterprises. It excludes the detail on trust fund programs which require annual action by Congress (shown in part I) and the detail on the District of Columbia municipal government funds (contained in a separate budget volume). TRUST AND DEPOSIT FUNDS DISTINGUISHED Congress. In a few cases receipts of trust funds can be obligated and expended only in accordance with appropriations enacted by Congress from year to year. Examples are the funds of the United States Soldiers Home and the general municipal revenues of the District of Columbia. In the case of the Highway trust fund, Congress controls expenditures by appropriations annually, but it grants contract authorizations in advance thereof. In a few other cases, the trust receipts are permanently available for program purposes, but Congress imposes annual The funds which are covered in this part of the budget limitations on administrative expenses. are of two types as follows: Trust funds are those funds established to account for receipts which are held in a fiduciary capacity by the Government for use in carrying out specific purposes and programs in accordance with a trust agreement or a statute. Within the category of trust funds, there is subcategory of trust revolving funds, which are trust funds used to carry on a cycle of business-type operations, including certain corporations which are partly owned by the Government and partly by private interests. Deposit funds are those funds established to account for collections that are either (a) held in suspense temporarily and later refunded or paid into some other fund of the Government, or (b) held by the Government as banker or agent for others, being paid out in lump sums at the direction of the owner. Such funds are not available for paying salaries, expenses, grants, or other expenditures of the Government. Five Government-sponsored enterprises are also covered in the summary table. While their money on deposit. While their money on deposit with the U.S. Treasurer is technically handled as a deposit fund in each case, the enterprises are set forth under a heading separate from the deposit funds generally. While the transactions in these groups of funds are a part of the financial program of the Government, trust and deposit funds are reserved for the purposes of the trust or the terms of the deposit; hence these transactions are excluded from the administrative budget totals. TRUST FUND RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES Receipts. Like budget receipts, trust fund receipts are based upon collections received and deposited, including U.S. Government securities received in lieu of cash and contributions to the trust funds from the general fund. Reported receipts exclude borrowing and the sale or redemptions of U.S. Government securities. Expenditures.-Like budget expenditures, trust fund expenditures are stated on a checks-issued basis, less refunds collected. The repayment of borrowing and the purchase of U.S. Government securities are excluded from the expenditure figures. Trust revolving funds.-The small group of funds which constitute trust revolving funds are reported on a net expenditure basis. The collections of trust revolving funds, instead of being taken into the tables as receipts, are deducted from expenditures. DEPOSIT FUND EXPENDITURES Deposit fund expenditures are shown in the summary table for this part of the appendix, but are not shown in the details. These expenditures are on a net basis; that is, the collections are deducted from checks issued, and the resulting figure is shown as an expenditure. Checks issued include transactions to move money into other funds, as well as refunds and the return of money to depositors. When the collections are larger than the gross expenditures, the amount shown as an expenditure is a negative OBLIGATIONAL AUTHORITY FOR TRUST FUNDS Most trust fund receipts are made available for use by permanent law, without requiring further action by 898 item. GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED ENTERPRISES Expenditures of Government-sponsored enterprises appear in the summary table for this part of the appendix. These expenditures are on a net basis, and are equal in amount to the borrowing by such enterprises through issuance of their own debt, and to their disinvestments in the U.S. securities. A negative expenditure for one of these enterprises indicates either the deposit of moneys used for the repayment of debt or for investment in U.S. securities. The financial transactions of Government-sponsored enterprises which are handled outside the accounts of the U.S. Treasurer are not included in the summary table. (A new part IV on annexed budgets includes detailed budget schedules with respect to seven self-supporting activities, including three of the Government-sponsored enterprises and four other activities.) DETAIL OF TRUST FUND ESTIMATES The detailed material in part II covers the trust funds which do not require annual action by Congress. Consolidated schedules are used for the smaller trust funds of each bureau or independent agency. The material here follows the general format of the similar material in part I, with the principal exception that these schedules show receipts in place of showing appropriations. In cases where the receipts are not permanently appropriated as the money is collected, the schedules identify the portion of the unobligated balances on hand which is appropriated and the portion which is unappropriated. Also, no appropriation language appears here, and the narrative statement of program and performance usually consists only of an explanation of the sources of money for the fund, the purposes for which it is authorized to be spent, and the legal citations. This schedule covers (1) funds received as gifts for immediate expenditure and receipts from the sale of recordings and photoduplication materials financed from capital originally received as gifts, (2) income from investments held by the Library of Congress Trust Fund Board, and (3) interest at the rate of 4 percent per annum paid by the Treasury on the principal funds deposited therewith as described under "Library of Congress trust fund, principal accounts." (2 U.S.C. 156-160; 31 U.S.C. 725s; 37 Stat. 319.) 1. Acquisition of library materials.

This schedule covers two principal accounts--permanent loan and bequest of Gertrude M. Hubbard. Both funds represent gifts or bequests in cash, which have been deposited with the Treasurer of the United States as permanent loans to the United States, the interest upon which, at 4% per annum, payable semiannually, is available to the Librarian for the purposes specified in each case. As of June 30, 1963, the principal in the permanent loan account, which shall not exceed the sum of $10 million (2 U.S.C. 158; 31 U.S.C. 725s, Public Law 87-522), was distributed as follows (in thousands of dollars): Music activities.. Poetry and literature.. Miscellaneous purposes. Total principal..... of member judges for any unpaid amounts credited to the individual accounts of such judges (28 U.S.C. 376). During 1963 the number of judges participating in the system increased from 409 to 419 and the number of nonparticipants decreased from 50 to 44. There were 463 judges on the roll at the end of the year as compared with 459 at the beginning of the year. On June 30, 1963, there were 139 survivor annuitants on the roll which is exactly the same number on the roll on June 30, 1962. However, during the year, the average annuity increased $86, from $2,860 to $2,946. This increase is due to the fact that the current awards to annuitants are somewhat higher than the annuities granted to existing widows when the system was established. 2,267 397 307 211 694 595 4,471 430 THE JUDICIARY JUDICIAL SURVIVORS ANNUITY FUND Program and Financing (in thousands of dollars) 1963 actual 1093 1964 1965 estimate estimate 15 Total financing. 2,791 3,120 3,110 1.
