Prefatory Note
The attached document represents the most complete and accurate version available based on original copies culled from the files of the FOMC Secretariat at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This electronic document was created through a comprehensive digitization process which included identifying the bestpreserved paper copies, scanning those copies, 1 and then making the scanned versions text-searchable. 2 Though a stringent quality assurance process was employed, some imperfections may remain. Please note that this document may contain occasional gaps in the text. These gaps are the result of a redaction process that removed information obtained on a confidential basis. All redacted passages are exempt from disclosure under applicable provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.

In some cases, original copies needed to be photocopied before being scanned into electronic format. All scanned images were deskewed (to remove the effects of printer- and scanner-introduced tilting) and lightly cleaned (to remove dark spots caused by staple holes, hole punches, and other blemishes caused after initial printing). 2 A two-step process was used. An advanced optimal character recognition computer program (OCR) first created electronic text from the document image. Where the OCR results were inconclusive, staff checked and corrected the text as necessary. Please note that the numbers and text in charts and tables were not reliably recognized by the OCR process and were not checked or corrected by staff.

SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES THE DOMESTIC NONFINANCIAL ECONOMY Personal Income and Outlays Personal income increased $23.8 billion at an annual rate in May. A rise in private wages and salaries, which accompanied the increases last month in employment and hours, accounted for more than half of the gain.
While personal interest and farm proprietors' income fell
again in May, nonfarm proprietors' income rose for the fourth consecutive month.
In real terms, disposable personal income rose
$10 billion in May, more than offsetting a $5.1 billion decline in April.
But with increases in outlays outpacing gains in income, the
personal saving rate fell back to 3.6 percent in May, from its upward revised level of 4.0 percent in April. Real personal consumption expenditures increased 0.9 percent in May.
Outlays for durable goods rose 2.4 percent, in part because of a
4.0 percent increase in expenditures for motor vehicles.
Nondurable
goods outlays increased 0.6 percent, with gains being recorded in most major components except gasoline and oil.
Expenditures for service
items rose 0.6 percent in May, as unusually warm weather pushed outlays for electricity up 9-1/4 percent.
Excluding energy items,
spending on services rose a modest 0.2 percent; the gain in this category was held down by declines in the personal business and net foreign travel components of spending. Probability of Expansion The Commerce Department's composite index of leading economic indicators rose 0.8 percent in May--its fourth consecutive monthly increase.
Initial claims, manufacturers' new orders, and building
permits accounted for almost all of the increase in May.
A decline in
the index of consumer expectations provided some offset, while other components were little changed.
The May reading implies a 95 percent
probability that a cyclical trough has alreay occurred or is imminent (chart). The composite index of coincident economic indicators edged up 0.2 percent in May, the first gain posted by the index since July 1990.
All of the available components of the index rose last month,
providing further evidence that the economy has bottomed out. Revised Greensheets The following pages show revised versions of the greensheets, which incorporate the Commerce Department's final estimate of GNP for the first quarter of 1991.
These data were in line with our
expectations and did not necessitate modifications to the forecast for subsequent quarters.

THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY Prices of Imports and Exports According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, prices of U.S. imports rose 0.2 percent in May, the first increase in seven months. The increase was led by a 2.9 percent rise in the index for prices of petroleum imports.
