The estimates provide for total obligations of $2,507,058,000 to be funded by (1) a new appropriation of $2,423,500,000; (2) the utilization of an unobligated balance of $54,058,000 estimated to be available at the end of fiscal year 1963; and (3) an estimated $29,500,000 to be received as revenues from non-Federal sources during the fiscal year.

The AEC does, however, maintain accounts for depreciation for the purpose of determining total costs of production and for use in establishing prices for services rendered or products sold to others.
