nec = not elsewhere classified.
NOTES: Because of rounding, detail may not add to total. Between FY 2006 and FY 2007, National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA's) R&D obligations decreased for two reasons:
(1) in FY 2007, NASA excluded projects that were operational in nature that were not excluded in FY 2006, which accounts for $850 million of the decrease; and (2) there was an overall decrease
in obligations between FY 2006 and FY 2007, which accounts for the remainder of the decrease.
