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.

Agriculture Scope and Coverage The index of net agricultural production described by Margaret Hughes and Barbara Severin (JEC, Agri- culture) represents the gross value of agricultural output less the value of that output used within agriculture. In order to compute a value-added index for agriculture, it is necessary to subtract also the I value of the materials and services purchased by agriculture on current account from nonagricultural sectors. This subtraction is described here. The index of purchases from nonagricultural sectors is by design a material-input index similar to the con- struction index described above. We have been able to construct indexes of 10 types of materials purchased by agriculture. These indexes are combined using weights derived from the 1972 Soviet input-output table. Weights Table B-5 shows the derivation of the weights used to combine the 10 indexes of material inputs purchased from nonagricultural sectors. The 1972 Soviet input- output table shows agricu1ture’s purchases from all sectors. Those purchases which relate to each of the 10 material-input indexes were summed and convert- ed to percentage weights. The purchases selected in this manner represent 71 percent of agriculture’s purchases from nonagricultural sectors in 1972. The most important types of inputs are fuel, machinery repair, and milling byproducts. 88 Approved for Release: 2019/07/19 C05210421
