Health and safety research.-Research is conducted on the support of mine roof and control of overburden, ventilation of mines, methods of allaying harmful and combustible airborne dusts, preventing accumulations of combustible dusts, preventing underground fires, safe 9.507 blasting practices, and safe electrical installations. Other research is directed toward developing mining procedures and devices to avoid, detect, or control those aspects of mining and the working environment which involve potential personal hazards to mine workmen and physical hazards to mine operations. Various machines and devices are tested for use in mines and plants where explosive or harmful gas or dust may be liberated or encountered. 9,490 10 Number of active mines.. 1964 adjust- 1964 1965 1966 ments [Calendar years) 9,314 7,675 12,331 Identification code 11.1 11.5 15 378 378 378 1.

Production is primarily for the Depart6,920 ment of Defense, Atomic Energy Commission, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which reimburse the fund for products received. Other Federal agencies and non-Federal consumers also buy helium for medical, scientific, and commercial uses. Budget program.-Production of helium from the five Government-owned plants is estimated at 767 million cubic feet during 1966. Sales of helium in 1966 are estimated at 675 million cubic feet. Production plant facilities, related shipping facilities, and helium conservation storage facilities will be operated and maintained to 42,368 42.731 produce and market helium as authorized under the 1,693 2,386 -250 -10 42,118 42,721 1966 1965 estimate estimate 42,118 42,721 -25,242 -26,214 16,876 16,507 362 1,420 program.

Financing the budget program.-Funds borrowed from the Treasury will be used to supplement the revenue received from sales of helium. Additional borrowing authority of $16,780,000 is requested for 1966. The sales price of helium is established at a rate sufficient to cover costs of operations and to provide for future repayment of debt, including accrued interest. It Operating results and financial condition.-As of June 30, 1963, the Government's equity in helium was $61.5 million of which $38.8 million is required to be repaid to the Treasury leaving a net balance of $22.7 million. is estimated that the Government's equity on June 30, 1966, will be $152 million of which $82.9 million is to be repaid to the Treasury leaving a net balance of $69.1 million. The $46.4 million estimated increase in net Government equity is due to an increase in retained earnings which is expected to accrue during 1964, 1965, and 1966. The retained earnings, resulting from the favorable cost-sales price relationship existing during the early years of the conservation program, are used for the purchase of crude helium for storage and other capital assets to minimize borrowing requirements from the Treasury. 26.0 Supplies and materials. 31.0 Equipment.......... 32.0 Lands and structures. 44.0 Refunds...
