1 The index was 159.9 on the 1957—59 base. The U. S. Office of Management and Budget established the new base period for use by Federal government statistical agencies in line with a long standing policy that index bases are to be updated periodi­cally. The change in base period does not affect percentage changes over tim e, except for rounding differences.
