Table IB further breaks down the monetary recovery in the Enforcement process by the amount recovered through the mediation program. The actual monies obtained through mediation began with a low of $7.2 million in FY 97 and grew to a high of $93.3 million in FY 2000. The total five-year actual amount obtained through mediation is $235.1 million or 28.6% of the total actual monetary recovery, compared with $585.9 million or 71.4 % of the total actual monetary recovery obtained through the other aspects of the administrative process. After extracting the amount garnered in mediation, the amount otherwise obtained ($585.9 million) compares favorably to the amount obtained through litigation ($409.7), which, as mentioned above, is a much smaller program dealing with many fewer cases than the administrative process. In fact, the actual monies recovered through litigation equal 69.9% of the actual monies recovered in the administrative process.
