Figure 4. Schematic Flow Chart for International Funding of the IGY. Taken 

 from: Wallace W. Atwood, Jr., "The International Geophysical Year in Retro- 

 spect," Department of State Bulletin 40 (May 11, 1959), p. 685. 



The original budget presented to the Congress for the IGY was for 

 $13 million. Dr. Waterman emphasized that this budget was "entirely 

 separate and distinct from the regular programs of the National 

 Science Foundation," 39 a fact of considerable importance inasmuch 

 as the entire NSF budget at that time was of similar magnitude. 40 

 Later, a considerably greater budget of $40 million for an expanded 

 IGY program was presented. 41 In all, $43.5 million was appropriated 

 by the Congress in support of the U.S. scientific program for the 

 IGY, as shown in table 2.
