The fiscal 1992 federal appropriation of $281.2 million, plus an addi- 

 tional $1.9 million for the Special Foreign Currency. U.S. India, and 

 the Canal Zone funds, provided the funding nucleus for ongoing pro- 

 grams of the Institution and limited support for the new National 

 Museum of the American Indian and for other areas of cultural plu- 

 ralism, environmental, and education initiatives. Modest increments 

 of funding were directed to the reinstallation of outdated exhibitions, 

 the upgrading and replacement of essential information systems, and 

 strengthening internal controls. 



The Smithsonian concluded fiscal 1992 with a shortfall of $3813 

 million in unrestricted general trust funds. The shortfall derived from 

 continued increases in expenditures while revenues from auxiliary ac- 

 tivities remained essentially flat in comparison to fiscal 1991 . Al- 

 though management had already initiated reductions in baseline 

 expenditures, it became evident that additional cuts were required in 

 fiscal 1993 to bring costs within further reduced levels of unrestricted 

 trust income. 



In fiscal 1992, government agencies sponsored research projects to- 

 talling $42.7 million at the Smithsonian, an increase of $5.9 million, 

 or 16 percent over fiscal 1991. Of this increase, $4.4 million repre- 

 sents funding from the National Aeronautics and Space Administra- 

 tion (NASA) to support research at the Smithsonian Astrophysicai 

 Observatory. 



Other nonappropriated income from gifts, non-government grants, 

 endowments, current investments, and revenue-producing activities 

 totaling $75.55 million augmented funds from federal sources. The 

 Smithsonian is especially grateful to its many friends in the private 

 sector whose generosity contributed vitally to its work. Donors are 

 listed in the Benefactors section of this annual report. 



Construction and Plant Funds (Table 8) 



In fiscal 1992, the Smithsonian received $23. 599 million in direct ap- 

 propriations for replacement of major building systems at the Na- 

 tional Museum of Natural History and the National Museum of 

 American History, as well as for repair, restoration, and code compli- 

 ance projects throughout the Institution. 



Appropnations for major construction included $9,874 million for 

 reconfiguration of the National Museum of Natural History's East 

 Court; $2.37 million for the planned National Museum of the Ameri- 

 can Indian; and $1,678 million for the initial design for the General 

 Post Office Building. The National Zoological Park received $7,899 

 million for repairs and other projects in its master plan, including the 

 Hall of Humankind and Amazonia. Appropriations foi other con-
