For security reasons, funds for the atomic bomb project were concealed in appropriations for other purposes. Appropriated funds disbursed for the atomic energy project before the Atomic Energy Commission began operation under the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act of 1946 are shown in the following tabulation which appeared in the Eleventh Semiannual Report of the Atomic Energy Commission to the Congress of the United States, January 30, 1952. The figures given include not only funds disbursed directly by the Manhattan Engineer District but also relatively small amounts that may have been disbursed by other units in the War Department or by other agencies by fund transfers by the War Department.

No attempt has been made to separate the portions of the funds which were intended exclusively for the purposes of the atomic bomb program.
