equipment appropriation account.  This information includes changes in
total modernization costs, number of completed projects, and trends for
unobligated funds.  GAO also provides detailed information on cost and
schedules estimated for 15 major modernization projects that account for
more than 40 percent of FAA's 1996 facilities and equipment budget
