130 from FY 1982 to FY 1988. Of this increase, some $95,000,000 is attributable to inflation, primarily in areas such as pay and utilities, leaving approximately $71,000,000 in anticipated real growth. Federal appropriations account for about $43,000,000, or 61 percent of the projected constant dollar growth. Real growth in FY 1982-84 is associated primarily with equipping and operating the Museum Support Center, security and maintenance of the collections and physical plant, and automation and modernization of equipment. Over the longer run, real growth is associated with operation of the new Quadrangle facilities, strengthening of research and exhibition programs, animal care and propagation at Rock Creek and Front Royal, automation of the library system, modernization of security and protection services, and basic administrative and technical support. Anticipated real growth in gross revenues of nonappropriated trust funds will amount to $26,000,000, all of which is attributable to auxiliary and bureau activities. After deduction of expenses incurred in generating these revenues, net income expressed in constant dollars will increase by slightly less than $1,000,000. Real growth of $2,000,000 is currently projected in the area of federal grants and contracts, primarily for work related to programs of the Astrophysical Observatory.
