When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. · Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.

Began during the Bill Clinton administration (1993–2001). Based on its first award year, 1998. This places the program in time only; it does not mean that administration started it.
