Federal (Government-owned) funds are of four types, as follows:

The general fund is credited with receipts which are not earmarked by law for a specific purpose, and is charged with expenditures that are payable from appropriations (except appropriations of earmarked receipts) and those payable from borrowing. Both in number of items and in amounts, most of the Government's business is transacted through the general fund.

Special funds are those which are established to account for receipts that are earmarked by law for a specific purpose. They exclude the funds which carry on a cycle of operations for which there is continuing authority to use the receipts (as described in the next paragraph). Some special funds are subject to annual appropriation by Congress. Others are automatically available under the laws which created the funds.

Public enterprise (revolving) funds are those which

finance a cycle of operations, in which generate receipts coming primarily from available for continuing use. They incl the Government-owned corporations, the various unincorporated enterprises.

Other funds, for which the Governn fiduciary capacity, are of two types deposit funds. They are explained at t part II.

For each appropriation, this appendix includes certain detailed material, as follows: (1) appropriation language, if applicable; (2) a schedule of program and financing; (3) a narrative statement on program and performance; and (4) a schedule of object classification. An exception occurs in the case of certain permanent appropriations and older appropriation accounts on which only a residual balance remains; such accounts of a bureau or independent agency are often combined into a single presentation instead of having separate schedules. Where the obligations fall in a single object class, the classification is identified in the program and financing schedule, rather than in a separate schedule.

For revolving funds, there are usually two additional schedules covering (5) revenue, expense, and retained earnings; and (6) financial condition.

The basic schedules usually exclude supplemental estimates which it is expected will be transmitted to Congress separately, for 1966 and 1967; these are covered by a brief schedule of program and financing, without appropriation language. However, the 1966 column of the basic schedules include (and identify) supplementals required to meet costs of military and civilian pay increases under recently enacted pay legislation.

The 1967 column includes, within the regular schedules,
