Note: Due to the effects of the Credit Reform Act of 1990 on the measurement and classification of Federal credit activities, the discretionary budget
authority for these programs for years prior to 1992 is not strictly comparable to that for 1992 and beyond. Due to the effects of the Budget
Enforcement Act of 1990 and subsequent comparable redefinitions on the measurement and classification as budget authority of the obligation
limitations of certain special and trust funds, the discretionary budget authority for these programs for years prior to 1990 is not strictly
comparable to that for 1990 and beyond.
