KEY:
"–" = No activity or a value of zero.

NOTES:
Numbers may not add to totals due to rounding. United States transferred ownership of the Panama Canal Commission on December 31, 1999. FY 2000 expenses cover first quarter operations and FY 2001 expenses are for the settlement of remaining accident and contract claims. Data for FY 2001 are estimates.
Numbers in parenthesis are negative values due to offsetting collections. Offsetting collections are collections from the public that result from business-type activities and collections from other government accounts, which are deducted from gross outlays and budget authority, rather than combined with government receipts.
