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.

The weights used to combine the two components of the sector-of-origin utilities index are: natural gas, 25.3 percent, and the housing stock, 74.7 percent. The weights used to combine the subindexes of the repair and personal care and recreation indexes The education and health sector-of-origin indexes are the man-hour components of the end-use education and health indexes. The following sections describe the remaining services—science, credit and insurance, and government administrative services. Science Scope and Coverage. As defined here, science com- prises the activities of scientific research organiza- tions subordinate to ministries or the academies of sciences. More specifically, the organizations included are: ( 1) academies, institutes, observatories, archives, botanical gardens, museums, and libraries engaged in scientific research; (2) surveying and geological explo- ration of a general nature; (3) independent design organizations and selected experimental stations; (4) hydrometeorological service; and (5) ancillary or- ganizations servicing scientific organizations, such as machine-testing stations (Ukazaniya, pp. 757-759). The sector encompasses the Soviet classification cate- gory “science and scientific services,” for which em- ployment and wage data are regularly reported. The activities are financed partly by the state budget and partly by charges to enterprise costs and profits. The sector encompasses most but not all Soviet activity in the area of research and development. Some of the scientific research done at higher educa- tional institutions is not included—-about 2 percent of total reported outlays according to B. M.
