This study of Soviet freight transportation is a rather thorough revision of an earlier working memorandum which was circulated for comment and criticism. The original analysis was based upon extensive background research undertaken by George Novak with the Soviet sources and upon the nearly completed investigation by Holland Hunter from which his Soviet Transportation Policy was developed. Novak developed the statistical series upon which much of the analysis rests. In addition he prepared various special analyses of railroad and maritime reporting and statistical methods and brought together considerable qualitative evidence bearing upon the character of Soviet transport operations.
