j,Primarily due to the fact that the subdivision of the Worwegian Defence establishment flfollo~r~ a pattern based on other criteria than the matrix drawn up by the Ad Hoc Panel. As a result it is impossible, without a considerable rearrangement of the Norwegian statements of account, to arrive at the expenditure for the various "Forte groups" according to "Resource costs's. If the matrix were to be altered to enable the required information to be obtained directly from the Worwegian aCcOmtS, khis would entail changes Trhich would presumably be unacceptable and serve little purpose otherwise. To facilitate the work somewhat, the following changea are however proposed: 1. "Central support administration and command " be viewed as a single heading. 2. 'Travel expenses etc." (1.2.3) be confined to travel expenses only. Attention is also drawn to the following points: / . . . -40- Under "Forte groups"' . Item (7) includes expenditure both for "Support" (6) and "Command" (7). In total, the expenditures here are estimated at Nkr 1,150 million for "Support" and Wkr 250 million for "Command". Civil defence expenditures (9) are not covered by the Defence Budget. These expenditures are therefore not included in the calculations. Under "Resource costs": Items 1.2.3 and 1.2.4 have been taken together and entered under item 1.2.5. Under 2.2 'lConstruction's, expenditures for militar-y assistance, "Heme territory" (10) and "Abroad's (11) have been entered as respectively Nkr 142 million and Nkr 54 million. These are expenditures in connexion with NATO infrastructurc programes. 1-t has no-t been considered feasible to split up these smounts into the different "resource costs". The amounts are therefore only included in the aggregat for "Construction". Items 2.2.1 to 2.2.15 have been placed in parenthesis, since the swn of these amounts does not tally with the aggregate sum "Construction", 2.2. 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be related to the financial management of the Norwegian Defence establishment, discussing the allocation of resources and expenditures. It mentions specific items such as "Central support administration and command", "Travel expenses", and "Construction" expenses, which are likely related to the maintenance and operation of the defence forces.
