Budget charts on the next two pages provide the actual funds obligated during fiscal years 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002; and the plans for fiscal years 2003 and 2004.

The major accomplishment in fiscal year 2001 was the award of two significant procurements. The Outreach Plan procurement was awarded to Carter Ryley Thomas Public Relations and Marketing Counsel to provide ongoing activity support through fiscal year 2003; and Web enhancement procurements were awarded in fiscal years 2001 and 2002 to organizations that provide creditable, historical and educational information electronically to enhance the content of the COFC Web site.

The General Accounting Office audited the COFC financial activity for fiscal year 2001. The General Accounting Office found that in fiscal year 2001:

• 156 of the Commission's recorded obligations and expenditures were supported by documentation that was approved by management.

• Commission recorded no donations, user fees, or in-kind donations for FY 2001.

• Commission's financial records contained some minor errors:  actual travel expenditures were understated by a net amount of $957, and the NASA interagency agreement was overpaid by $700 that should be refunded to FAA.

The General Accounting Office recommended and the Commission concurred that the:

• Executive Director maintain a complete record or log of Commission financial transactions.

• Executive Director correctly record travel expenses. DONE.

• Executive Director direct FAA to obtain a refund of $700 from NASA. DONE.

In fiscal year 2002, the COFC ended the year within budget.

In fiscal year 2003, the COFC will continue with the third year of the Outreach and Web enhancement procurements and the third year of the Web site maintenance effort.
