     1.      All years referred to are fiscal years, unless otherwise noted.
 
     2.      Detail in this document may not add to the totals due to rounding.
 
     3.      At the time of this writing, only two of the appropriations bills for 2007 had been enacted;
              therefore, the programs provided for in the remaining 2007 appropriations bills were operating
              under a continuing resolution (P.L. 109-289, Division B, as amended). For these programs,
              references to 2007 spending in the text and tables reflect the levels provided by the continuing
              resolution.
