PART II

DETAILED ESTIMATES FOR TRUST FUNDS

1001

EXPLANATION OF ESTIMATES FOR TRUST FUNDS

Part II contains detailed schedules and explanatory statements on the various trust funds. 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

The funds which are covered in this part of the budget 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 a 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.

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.

OBLIGATIONAL AUTHORITY FOR TRUST FUNDS

Most trust fund receipts are made available for use by permanent law, without requiring further action by 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 limitations on administrative expenses.

FORM OF TRUST FUND PRESENTATIONS

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. In most cases, all receipts of a trust fund are permanently appropriated as the receipts are collected. In cases where the receipts are not appropriated as the money is collected, an additional schedule identifies the amounts available for appropriation. 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.

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 reported as receipts, are deducted from expenditures.

DEPOSIT FUND EXPENDITURES

Deposit fund expenditures are shown only in total for each agency as a whole. 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 item.

90 Expenditures___

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, 1964, 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):

The number of judges participating in the system established by 70 Stat. 1021 decreased in 1964 from 419 to 414. There were 459 judges on the roll at the end of the year as compared with 463 at the beginning of the year. As of June 30, 1964, there were 45 nonparticipants 211 as compared with 44 a year ago.

The use of the income from these accounts is described

The number of survivor annuitants on the roll increased in 1964 from 139 at the beginning of the year to 150 at the end of the year. The average annuity increased $178, from $2,946 to $3,124. This increase is due to the fact that current awards to annuitants are substantially higher than the annuities granted to widows in previous years. Payroll deductions and matching agency contributions in 1965 and 1966 will be substantially higher as a result of the salary increases authorized for judges under the Federal
