Soviet sets goals for gains economically
The Soviet Union announced a reduced military spending figure of 22.3 billion dollars for 1977, signaling stronger defenses while planning the highest growth rates in history for 1976-80. Finance Minister Garbuzov noted the defense budget would be 7.2 percent of a 301.1 billion dollar overall budget, as Western observers remain skeptical of Soviet accounting. The plan targets an industrial production rise of 5.6 percent in 1977, with light industry and consumer goods up 4.9 percent, while Kosygin appears less involved due to health issues, and Baibakov presents the draft five year plan.
