Timelineyears: years in documents

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.

Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from design document year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.

Part of Food for Peace (official source)
Began during the Jimmy Carter administration (1977–1981). Based on its design document year, 1980. This places the program in time only; it does not mean that administration started it.
