New lines were added to many of the tables.  The revised treatment of personal consumption expenditures introduces a new “goods” total line in tables 1 through 8; and table 11 has a new treatment of corporate cash flow, including a new line for capital transfers paid (net).

Note that the widths of tables 2, 3, and 13 have been increased slightly compared with the pre-benchmark versions of these tables to allow for additions to the widths of the stubs.
