* New race and ethnicity data were not
available for all Services until after the first quarter of FY03. Therefore,

three quarters of FY03 (January
2003-September 2003).
**Includes
individuals who indicated non-Hispanic ethnicity or did not respond to
ethnicity question.
Rows and columns may not add to totals
due to rounding.
