Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 1A
THE NATIONAL CENTER ALLOWS FIRST-CLASS AND BUSINESS CLASS AIR TRAVEL ACCORDING TO ITS POLICY. THE "IN EXCESS OF 14 HOURS OF TRAVEL" IS USUALLY THE EXCEPTION FOR THE CEO AND OTHER STAFF WHO FREQUENTLY FLY INTERNATIONALLY. THIS TRAVEL IS NOT TREATED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION. DISCRETIONARY SPENDING ACCOUNTS ARE PROVIDED FOR EACH DIVISION OF THE NATIONAL CENTER, RANGING IN VALUE BETWEEN $3,000 AND $5,000, DEPENDING ON THE SIZE AND SCOPE OF THE DIVISION. AN EXECUTIVE OFFICE MEMBER IS REQUIRED TO SIGN OFF ON ALL CHARGES TO THESE ACCOUNTS. THE NATURE OF THESE EXPENSES ARE MEALS, SMALL GIFTS, BIRTHDAY CAKES, DEPARTMENT CELEBRATIONS, ETC. HOUSING ALLOWANCES ARE PROVIDED FOR CONTRACTUAL EMPLOYEES BASED ON EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND USAID PROVISIONS. THESE HOUSING ALLOWANCES ARE NOT TREATED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION.
PART I, LINE 4A
