In 1965 and 1966 work is being accelerated on the revision of the export commodity classifications to conform with the standard industrial classification, and the standard international trade classification and the information prepared regarding footwear imports (with coordinated production data) will be on a revised and more detailed basis.

In 1966, the monthly information regarding construction valueput-in-place will be improved.

7. Agriculture.-Information on cotton ginnings and production required by statute is compiled and published. Statistical services are provided on results from the census of agriculture and related operations.

8. Population. This activity includes current estimates of the number of households, the farm population, school enrollment, personal income, population mobility, and other characteristics of the population, as well as consumer buying intentions. It also provides annual estimates of the population of the United States

and of each of the States, projections of future population, and annual estimates of the population for a limited number of Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA's). In 1965, population estimates will be provided for additional SMSA's, and work is being undertaken to improve and expand local area estimates through the use of administrative records. In 1966, estimates will be provided for additional SMSA's, and surveys will be initiated to provide intercensal information regarding movement and characteristics of the population.

9. Statistical abstract and special reports.-Seasonally adjusted business cycle indicators are published monthly. The Statistical Abstract, issued annually, summarizes government and private statistics on the industrial, social, political, and economic activities of the United States. Other current general reports are published periodically. 10.
