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: 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.
Who started the program, and which administration it began under. Timing only; it does not say who started it. · Source: initiative records, start year
Began during the George H. W. Bush administration (1989–1993). Based on its design document year, 1990. This places the program in time only; it does not mean that administration started it.
No document or official record says which initiative or administration launched this program.
Organizations that ran this program, from award records and document authors. Prime and sub roles are not split yet. · Source: award and document records
