1. This table has been constructed using pre-FY 2003 race/ethnic categories for comparison purposes. Hispanics of all races are reported as a single group. The remaining individuals
are listed as “Non-Hispanic White,” “Non-Hispanic Black,” or “Non-Hispanic Other.”
2. The end of the fiscal year was moved from June 30 to September 31 during calendar year 1977. As a result, the data for FY 1977 reflect accession counts for five quarters.
