Prefatory Note

The attached document represents the most complete and accurate version
available based on original copies culled from the files of the FOMC Secretariat at the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This electronic document was
created through a comprehensive digitization process which included identifying the bestpreserved paper copies, scanning those copies, 1 and then making the scanned versions
text-searchable. 2 Though a stringent quality assurance process was employed, some
imperfections may remain.
Please note that this document may contain occasional gaps in the text. These
gaps are the result of a redaction process that removed information obtained on a
confidential basis. All redacted passages are exempt from disclosure under applicable
provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.

1

In some cases, original copies needed to be photocopied before being scanned into electronic format. All
scanned images were deskewed (to remove the effects of printer- and scanner-introduced tilting) and lightly
cleaned (to remove dark spots caused by staple holes, hole punches, and other blemishes caused after initial
printing).
2
A two-step process was used. An advanced optimal character recognition computer program (OCR) first
created electronic text from the document image. Where the OCR results were inconclusive, staff checked
and corrected the text as necessary. Please note that the numbers and text in charts and tables were not
reliably recognized by the OCR process and were not checked or corrected by staff.

SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES
THE DOMESTIC NONFINANCIAL ECONOMY
Real GNP
The BEA now estimates that real GNP declined at a 0.5 percent
annual rate in the second quarter, a downward revision of
0.4 percentage point from the previous estimate; real GDP is now
estimated to have edged up at a 0.3 percent rate.

The revised

figures show a sharper liquidation of nonfarm inventories; these
stocks are now estimated to have run off at a $27.2 billion annual
rate in the second quarter, compared with the previous estimate of a
$21.6 billion drawdown.

The estimate of final sales was essentially

unchanged, on balance, from the previous report; excluding changes
in CCC inventories, final sales are still shown to have edged down
in the second quarter, after having fallen at a 3 percent annual
rate in the first quarter.

Prices, as measured by the GNP fixed-

weight index, rose at an annual rate of 3.1 percent in the second
quarter, up 0.1 percentage point from the previous estimate.
Based on more complete data, the BEA now estimates that
economic profits edged down 0.6 percent to a $284.4 billion annual
rate in the second quarter, a downward revision of $3-1/2 billion
from last month's estimate.

Profits of domestic corporations are

still estimated to have turned up in the second quarter, though a
bit less strongly than previously reported, while profits from
foreign operations fell somewhat more sharply than was indicated in
the earlier estimate.

-2When measured in 1987 dollars, the BEA estimates that real GNP
edged up 0.4 percent at an annual rate in the second quarter, after
falling at a 2.8 percent rate in the first quarter.
Personal Income and Outlays
Personal income rose $20.3 billion at an annual rate in August,
Private wages and salaries

after a decline of $7.5 billion in July.

increased $14 billion at an annual rate in August, accounting for
the bulk of the rise in personal income.

Real disposable personal

income rose $5.1 billion in August, more than reversing the July
decrease of $3.0 billion.

The average level of real DPI in July and

August was about 1/2 percent above its second-quarter average,
consistent with the staff's expectation that this series would post
a moderate gain in the third quarter.
Personal outlays rose only $3.3 billion in nominal terms in
August, with the increase held down by a decline in spending for
motor vehicles and parts.

As a result of the small rise in outlays

relative to the increase in disposable income, the personal saving
rate moved up in August to 3.9 percent, from the 3.6 percent reading
in July.
Real personal consumption expenditures decreased 0.2 percent in
August, after rising 0.6 percent in July.

In addition to the

decline in spending on motor vehicles and parts, a downturn in
outlays for furniture and appliances contributed to a
2.5 percent drop in spending for durable goods.

Expenditures for

nondurable goods fell 0.2 percent, pushed down by lower outlays for
gasoline and oil.

Meanwhile, spending on services increased 0.4

percent, reflecting gains in all major

components.

All told, the

average level of real PCE in July and August was nearly 1 percent

-3above its second-quarter average, supporting the staff's Greenbook
projection of a sizable rise in third-quarter consumer spending.
Insured Unemployment
Initial claims for unemployment insurance during the week ended
September 14, as seasonally adjusted by the staff, were unchanged
for a fifth week, suggesting little change in labor market
conditions since the mid-August reference week for the household and
payroll surveys.

The official BLS series, which uses different

seasonal factors, rose sharply in the week ended September 14, after
declining noticeably in the preceding week.

The FRB seasonal

adjustment procedures are specifically designed to deal with moving
holidays, and BLS officials currently are reviewing a proposal by
their staff to adopt methods of seasonal adjustment based on our
approach.
House and Senate conferees reached agreement on an unemployment
compensation bill that would provide a temporary package of extended
UI benefits to unemployed individuals who have exhausted their
regular benefits.

The bill would provide a minimum of seven weeks

of additional benefits in all states, 13 weeks in states with total
unemployment rates of at least 7 percent, and a maximum of 20 weeks
of benefits in states with total unemployment rates of 8 percent or
more; the compromise would cover jobless workers who have exhausted
their regular UI benefits at any time since March 1, 1991.

In

addition, the bill would automatically designate a budget emergency,
permitting the release of funds for the program.

The conference

report now goes to the Senate and House floors for approval before
being sent to the President, who is expected to veto the
legislation.

-4In addition, the appendix to the nonfinancial Greenbook
included a chart on the Department of Labor's UI benefit exhaustion
rate.

That rate is defined as the number of persons who exhausted

their UI benefits in a given month as a percentage of the number of
persons who began receiving benefits six months earlier (first
payments).

The rate is reported as a 12-month moving average to

eliminate seasonal fluctuations.
Erratum

On page I-7 in part 1 of the Greenbook, the sentence at the
bottom of the page should read:

"Constraints on credit availability

are expected to ease gradually as the expansion progresses and asset
quality improves."

1. First payments are approximately equal to the number of
initial claims excluding those declared ineligible for benefits,
lagged one or two weeks to reflect the time between the initial
claim and the issuance of the first UI benefit check.

Erratum
On page III-1 in part 2 of the Greenbook the second sentence in
the second paragraph should read:

"M2 was about unchanged last

month, and for the third quarter as a whole its velocity appears
likely to increase at around a 4 percent rate, despite the decline
in market interest rates over the past several quarters."

THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY
Prices of Imports and Exports
Import prices reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed
a rise of 0.4 percent in August.

The price of oil imports rose

sharply, and that of non-oil imports fell slightly, with declines
concentrated in food and industrial supplies.
Non-agricultural export prices also fell slightly in August,
with declines concentrated in industrial supplies.
Erratum
On page 1-34 in part 1 of the Greenbook, the sentence at the
bottom of the page should read:

"Exports of corn to the Soviet

Union increased sharply in July, and weekly data from the Department
of Agriculture indicate continued strength through the first half of
September."
