balance of $1.5 million. Thus, by the end of fiscal 1991 it is hoped the budgeted balance in the General Unrestricted Trust Fund will be $12.4 million. At that point, the Institution would still be below its goal of establishing a balance equivalent to 5% of the gross operating Trust budget or $14.2 million.

Increases for new program initiatives total $1.4 million. Since the increase is smaller than in years past the focus has been to fund less costly projects with Museums receiving $400,000 and Research $275,000, primarily $200,000 for the Scholarly Studies Program.

Projections for Restricted funds are $2.1 million lower than the fiscal year 1990 budget. In the Government Grant and Contract category projections show a $1.6 million increase from fiscal year 1990. Net funds provided from the special purpose fund group are projected to increase $1.9 million over fiscal year 1990.

Note: In the Funds Applied section fo Schedule E, the Special Programs category has been removed and expenditures have been distributed to the functional areas.

The following motion is suggested:

VOTED that the Board of Regents approves the Smithsonian Institution budget of appropriated funds for fiscal year 1991 for presentation to the Office of Management and Budget and the budget of the nonappropriated funds for fiscal year 1991.
