\1\ Includes off-budget Postal Service investments of the following amounts (in millions of current dollars): 1989: 64; 1990: 82; 1991: 116; 1992: 152; 1993: 57; 1994: 51; 1995: 52; 1996: 55;
1997: 57; 1998: 60. Note: Prior to 1960, the GDP data and deflators for constant dollar data are approximations of the anticipated post-benchmark revision levels. Actual post-benchmark
revision levels for fiscal years prior to 1960 have not yet been released. Constant-dollar estimates are based on chain-weighted (FY 1992=100) deflators.
