<br />8 <br /> <br />^~~!If:' <br />W AmER" <br /> <br />002~8~ <br /> <br />~:~;'t.- <br />~;~. u i <br /> <br />11JESIOU:ROE.IllE:y'ELe?MENT l'ROGR'Ak1S. <br /> <br />CONFmMATION BY USCIA <br /> <br />The U. S. Central Intelligence Agency analysts reported a quantity <br />of confirmatory information, including an unsigned document of <br />Moscow origin stating, among other items- . <br />* · · U. s. S. R. hydropower will be particularly extensively developed. By the <br />end of the 5-year plan (1960), the total electricity generated will increase 1.88 <br />times (from 1955 figures), but the electricty generated by hydroelectric stations <br />should increase 2.55 times · · '. <br />This document also established the relationship of various hydro <br />projects in the vast U. S. S. R. complex with considerable details on <br />the Siberian developments. The CIA likewise offered a volume of data <br />already secured from other agencies, and stipulated the agencies' con- <br />tribution should be identified as unclassified and tllioriginal. <br />The State Department, Foreign Intelligence and Research Bureau, <br />freely offered a quantity of confirmatory documentation, some from <br />overseas economic attaches and much duplicatory, responsive to the <br />committee inquiry. <br />All this is set forth to clarify to the committee how extensive and <br />scattered positive information on the Rusisan power effort was, and is, <br />in the executive department, and also how little emphasis or circu- <br />lation was given the data and how unreflected it was in recommenda- <br />tions or advice submitted the Congress in matters that might have <br />altered the relationship between the nations in this basic field affecting <br />national strength. This information does not appear to have been <br />suppressed or withheld. It just seems to have been ignored or lost until <br />collected herein. <br /> <br />FEDERAL POWER COMMISSION PROVIDES DATA <br /> <br />To further discharge some of the chairman's instructions regarding <br />relationships between other nations in the power field, the Federal <br />Power Commission was requested to provide certain other data it <br />regularly calculates. On an annual per capita production (or con- <br />sumption) kilowatt-hour basis, the Federal Power Commission re- <br />ported the United States now in third place among 15 countries, topped <br />by Norway and Canada. The 1956 production per capital kilowatt- <br />hour figures are: Norway, 6,752; Canada, 5,519; United States, 4,069; <br />followed by Luxembourg, Sweden, and Switzerland. Since there is <br />little relationship between hydro potential, size, or population among <br />nations, the per capita figure has the benefits of compensating some- <br />what for this dissimilarity. <br /> <br />STATE DEPARTMENT REPORTS RUSSIAN RISE <br /> <br />The State Department reported: <br /> <br />HYDROELECTRIO POWER <br /> <br />The share of hYdroelectric power in total electric p(}wer produced in the <br />U. S. S. R. grew steadily in the 1930's and 1940's but since 1950 has declined <br />very slightly (from 13.9 to 13.6 percent of total in 1956). As can be seen from <br />table 3, hydroelectric resources are unevenly distributed geographically. The <br />largest concentrations are in the northwestern part of the R. S. F. S. R. the <br />Ukraine, and in the mountains of the Caucasus and central Asia. The impo:tant <br />
