Percentages for fiscal year 1947 express the relationship between AEC expenditures for 6 months and other expenditures for a full year and are therefore not comparable to percentages for other years. • Not available.

NOTE.-The above table varies in some respects from those printed earlier due to a reclassification of disbursements as shown in prior years by the Bureau of the Budget.
