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.

Fixed capital—end 1969. This item represents the fixed capital of industry in 1955 prices on 1 January 1970. All values, except for nonferrous metals and other industry, are from Constance B. Krueger, USSR: Gross Fixed Capital, unpublished, May 1976, table 3. The capital stock of nonferrous metals is assumed to be one-half that of ferrous metals. The capital stock of other industry is derived as a residual. 2. Fixed capitaI—end I970. This item is derived in the same manner as column 1. 3. Fixed capita1—average 1970. Each entry is computed as column l plus 35 percent of the difference between column 2 and column l. This is the formula used by Gosplan to compute the average value of fixed capital and reflects the fact that more than half of new fixed capital is commissioned in the second half of the year (Ukazaniya, p. 27). 157 4. Depreciation rate.This is derived from Narkhoz I970, p. 171. except for nonferrous metals and other industry. Nonferrous metals is determined from the ferrous metals rate of 7.2 percent, and the ratio of the nonferrous metals and ferrous metals depreciation rates in the 1966 1-O table. The other industry rate is determined as column 5 divided by column 3. 5. Depreciation. This is column 3 times column 4 except for other industry, which is derived as a residual. 6. Structure af depreciation. This is column 5 in percentage terms. 7. Adjusted depreciation. Depreciation for total industry is derived as the sum of reported amortization deduction in industry (l5.544 billion rubles—Narkh0z I978, p. 532) and amortization deductions of consumer cooperatives on industrial capital (0.083 billion ru~ bles-—see the sources to column 2 of table D-13).
