II. PERMANENT APPROPRIATIONS FEDERAL FUNDS

(For permanent trust funds, see table III)

COMPILER'S NOTE. --The text and amounts of these permanent appropriations are taken from data relating to riscal 1972 in the budget for the fiscal year 1973. These are funds that do not require current annual action by the Congress, but rather become available automatically under earlier laws. The amounts shown are for indefinite appropriations unless indicated to be definite. The amounts shown for indefinite appropriations are estimated and are thus subject to revision as better data become available during the fiscal year.

tional security, encourages the annual domestic production of approxi-

ized to make sufficient incentive payments, which, when added to the
national average price received by producers, will give them a national
average return for the commodity equal to the support (incentive) price
level thereof. Payments may not at any time exceed 70 percent of the
