Monthly Treasury Statement.

    Note.--Data for fiscal 2000 are 
from Mid-Session Review, Budget of 
the United States Government, Fiscal 
Year 2001, issued June 26, 2000. 
Other data (except as noted) are 
from Budget of the United States 
Government, Fiscal Year 2001, issued 
February 7, 2000. Estimated figures 
for fiscal 2000 would be modified by 
the Administration's proposal to 
place the Medicare Hospital 
Insurance Trust Fund off-budget, 
which would shift that fund's totals 
of $110.6 billion in outlays, $134.4 
billion in receipts, and a surplus 
of $23.8 billion from on-budget to 
off-budget.
