-55- the Institution's existing educational efforts through the Regional Associate Programs, planning valuable Public Broadcasting Service TV programs, a Smithsonian Science lecture-in-the-school series, or popular publication efforts. Other public service programs such as summer scholarships, additional support for the Folklife Festival, or further outreach activities may be possible. New areas for research such as solar conversion equipment testing or hydrogen energy studies may provide opportunities for Smithsonian development support. [[underline]] Administrative Support [[/underline]] Since the administration of all of the activities of the Institution covers both Federally funded and trust fund bureaus and offices, it is Institution policy that administrative work and costs are shared between Federal funds and trust funds. For these administrative services, including accounting, legal, personnel, procurement, and other activities, the allocation of costs corresponds closely to the proportion between the Institution's Federal and trust fund operating expenditures. Federal and trust fund employees working in administration are included in the totals for Federal and unrestricted trust funds shown above. This policy of carrying out administrative work with both Federal and trust fund employees roughly in proportion to the relative burden of the activities being administered has proven most efficient, and is reflected in the approved allocation of administrative expenses as audited annually for grants and contracts by the Defense Contract Audit Agency.
