text: envisages the elaboration of various Indices, beginning with the planning of targets of science and technology programmes down to removing obsolete products from production and replacing obsolete technological processes. The principal form of S&T development planning by the Stat~ consists In a five-year plan, which Is elaborated proceeding from. the targets of national economic development and the Basic long-term directions of S&T development. Measures _planned for S&T development comprise In effect all complex of work related to scientific research, designing and Introduction of results Into national economy. These masures are specified In five-year and annual plans and are subject to approval at various management levels -In the state plan, In plans of mlnlsterles. departments. union republics. research and designing organizations. In production and financial plans of productive associations and enterprises. Presented by Y.V.
