APPENDIX IV
Guide to Sources of Statistics
Alphabetically arranged by subject, this guide contains references to the important primary
sources of statistical information for the United States. Secondary sources have been included if
the information contained in them Is presented In a particularly convenient form or if primary
sources are not readily available. Nonrecurrent publications presenting compilations or estimates
for years later than 1972 or types of data not available in regular series are also included.
Much valuable information may also be found in State reports (see pp. 963-966) and in reports
for particular commodities, industries, or similar segments of our economic and social structures,
many of which are not included here.
Publications listed under each subject are divided into two main groups: “ U.S. Government” and
“ Other." The location of the publisher of each report Is given except for Federal agencies located
in Washington, D.C. Most Federal publications may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents,
U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402, tel. (202) 783-3238, or from Government
Printing Office bookstores In certain major cities. In some cases, Federal publications may
be obtained from the issuing agency.

their general, all-inclusive titles.
