U.S. government membership contributions to international organizations were reclassified from payments for miscellaneous services by the U.S. government to other unilateral transfers of the U.S. government. The reclassification recognized the charitable nature of these contributions in addition to their nature as the receipt of services in return for the payment of dues, which was the primary basis for the previous classification. The reclassification was consistent with guidelines suggested by the International Monetary Fund. Estimates were revised for 1960-1985.
