The strategy also tries to wrest natural gas and oil pipeline control from an independent agency, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, that has become the moral equivalent of Gosplan.
The source of these charges turns out to be none other than the old government planning agency, Gosplan.
The blueprint is at its vaguest when referring to the fate of the two powerful economic institutions that seem likely to oppose such sweeping plans: the State Planning Committee, known as Gosplan, and the State Committee for Material Supply, or Gossnab.
That was before Gosplan descended on the factory to claim all but 150 of the machines.
Stretching the transition to five years from two years also could restrict the unemployment rate to 11% in 1994 out of a work force estimated at 166.5 million, the Gosplan report said.
