FY 2000 Budget Report
The FY 2000 appropriation for the Centennial of Flight Commission was
$600,000. Of that amount:
- $234,868 was expended on the development and maintenance of the Web
site selected by the Commission, which became operational on July 26,
2000;
- $350,000 was obligated to begin development of a detailed timeline of
aviation and aerospace history. This timeline will be a featured
component on the Commission's Web site and will support both general
awareness and educational activities;
- $4,359 was used for travel and miscellaneous expenses. Travel monies
were primarily expended in support of the Commission's presence at the
EAA's AirVenture Oshkosh 2000, one of the largest exhibitions of flight
(a detailed accounting of travel and miscellaneous expenditures is
available from Commission staff); and
- $10,773 was forwarded to the Library of Congress to begin the updating
of a comprehensive Wright Brothers bibliography, again for use in
conjunction with the Commission's Web site.
The Commission staff currently consists of three full time
non-reimbursable NASA civil servants. During the Commission's initial
start-up, office space has been provided on a non-reimbursable basis by
NASA. Additional support has been provided by NASA and the FAA in the
areas of procurement, resources management, legal, and information
technology, as well as sundry equipment and office supplies. Consistent
with the Commission's statutory authorities, all procurements of
supplies and services were conducted by the FAA or NASA. Starting with
FY 2001, the Commission will expend its appropriated funds for office
space, supplies, equipment, etc.
