SUBJECT:
NFIP Resources Historical Data Base
1. An historical data base has been created from Congressional Budget
Justification Book information, using actual dollars and authorized manpower
positions. The 1984 budget was the basis for unit identification within each
program. Dollar and manpower figures were extracted from program CBJBs for
the years 1979 through 1984, providing actual values for years 1977 through
1982 and estimates for 1983 and 1984. The current budget figures were used
for estimates beyond 1984.
2. Wherever possible, the maximum detail available in the CBJBs was
retained in the data base. In some instances the CBJBs identify subsets of
current expenditure centers. As an example, the General Defense Intelligence
Program currently only identifies Army, Navy, and Air Force Unified and
Specified Commands. In prior years each of the U&S Commands was further
subdivided into European, Atlantic, Pacific, etc., within each service. The
historical data base preserves the earlier level of detail, yet is designed to
readily aggregate prior year values into current unit identities.
3. In most instances the CBJBs are less specific than the current
budget, for example, in the appropriation and manpower type designation.
Although the current budget identifies Officers and Enlisted within each
Service, earlier CBJBs only provide total positions by Service or, as in 1979,
only total military positions within DIA without Service distinction.
Similarly, earlier CBJBs do not distinguish between Civilian.Pay and
Operations and Maintenance, Other.
4. Despite these shortcomings, the historical data base provides NFIP
resources data for the years 1977 through 1987 with actual values obtained
from a single source hard copy and estimates based on most recent budgetary
submissions.

5. Individual program managers have been provided with detailed
displays of current historical holdings. The data base is flexible and any
corrections or enhanced detail that is provided by the programs can be readily
accommodated.
6. The data elements of the historical data base include:
STAT
-- Program
-- Service
-- Expenditure Center
-- Consolidated Expenditure Center
-- Structural Category
-- Appropriation/Manpower Type
-- Fiscal Years 1962 through 1992 (however complete NFIP totals
are only available for 1977 through 1987).
7. The historical data base has been exploited to satisfy some requests
for information with regard to Congressional inquiries. It is requested that
further use be made of this data source in order to confirm the validity of
the entries and to present consistent figures in data displays prepared for
Congress.
8. As a point of departure, many of the displays available from the
budget system are also available within the historical data base. Identical
terms are used wherever possible and, as stated previously, the historical
records are designed to readily display prior year data in terms of current
unit descriptors and aggregates.
9. The historical data base will be updated as new information is made
available during the budget cycle. All entries for 1982 and prior years are
fixed, based as they are on the published CBJBs. The new budgetary
information to be submitted in September 1983 will replace all data for 1983
and later, providing actual numbers for 1983 and updated estimates for all
other years. In this way the historical data base will serve as the permanent
basis for budgetary information supplemented by the most recent budget
submissions.
