This Joint Committee Print, dated December 8, 1982, gathers studies that the Central Intelligence Agency's Directorate of Intelligence prepared for the Joint Economic Committee of the US Congress. It gives estimates of Soviet gross national product for 1950 to 1980, with indexes of industrial production, agricultural production and consumption, and explains the methods and data behind them. The foreword says official Soviet statistics inflate growth and that the CIA measures offer a more accurate picture. The document contains no UFO material.

Sources: The quantities for 1950, 1955, and 1960 are taken from Jerzy F. Karcz, “Quantitative Analysis of the Collective Farm Market,” American Economic Review 54, June 1964, unpublished appendix. The quantities for 1966 are derived by extending the Karcz series by means of commodity indexes for collective-larm- market sales presented in Narkhoz I968, p. 654. The quantities for 1970, 1974, and 1976 are calculated as in CIA, GNP I970—that is, marketed output less all procurements and the difference, if any, between the physical and accounting weight of procurements. The prices are from CIA, GNP I970, pp. 32-35 100 Approved for Release: 2019/07/19 C05210421
