APPENDIX 10 AEC APPROPRIATIONS APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE ATOMIC ENERGY PROGRAM (FISCAL YEARS 1947-75) No references to atomic energy will be found in any appropriation bills prior to the passage on July 16, 1946, of the Military Appropriation Act for fiscal year 1947. For security reasons, funds for the atomic bomb project were concealed in appropriations for other purposes. Appropriated funds disbursed for the atomic energy project before the Atomic Energy Commission began operation under the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act of 1946 are shown in the following tabulation which appeared in the Eleventh Semiannual Report of the Atomic Energy Commission to the Congress of the United States, January 30, 1952. The figures given include not only funds disbursed directly by the Manhattan Engineer District but also relatively small amounts that may have been disbursed by other units in the War Department or by other agencies by fund transfers by the War Department.

The funds disbursed by the National Defense Research Council and the Office of Scientific Research and Development came principally from direct appropriations to those agencies and from allocations from the President's emergency funds, part of which were authorized for "objects of a confidential nature." Disbursements by the War Department were made principally from War Department-Military establishment appropriations under the following headings: "Expediting production of equipment and supplies for national defense, 1940-46" "Engineer service, Army, 1942-46" "Atomic service, War Department, 1947-48" The appropriations cited in the table below authorized funds for a variety of purposes other than the atomic bomb program. No attempt has been made to separate the portions of the funds which were intended exclusively for the purposes of the atomic bomb program.
