Explanatory Notes

1. Graphs: To provide a better visual sense of relative scale, almost all of the graphs showing funding levels back to FY2008 have been standardized with a $5 billion vertical axis ($500 million if a smaller scale was needed to make the bars in the graph visible). To provide some comparative scale: $5 billion is 0.03 percent of the U.S. GDP in 2010 or 0.14 percent of the total FY2012 federal budget request. This equals about what Americans spend on Halloween candy, costumes, and decorations each year, a quarter of what we spend on sports tickets each year, 10 days of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the cost of about one and a half of the Navys DDG-1000 destroyers. 2. Funding levels: We are supporting the administrations request except for the International Disaster Assistance and Migration and Refugee Assistance accounts that received substantial supplemental funding in FY2010 (and are likely to need similar levels again), and except for sectors within accounts for which the request was low and for which there is already significant congressional support for returning funding to the FY2010 level (in the basic education, biodiversity, and water subaccounts within the Development Assistance account). In those cases, we have increased the overall account recommendation by the necessary increments over the request. 3. All accounts: In Global Health and Child Survival and Development Assistance, subaccount/ sector numbers are for all accounts, including what might be spread into Economic Support Funds (ESF), Assistance for Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia, and elsewhere. * Note that the subaccount funding recommendations add up to more than the overall account recommendation [for Development Assistance/Global HealthUSAID] because recommendations for some subaccounts are sectoral total recommendations that include funds expected in other accounts not listed here.
