WASHINGTON (P-The total
value of the nation's output of
goods and services dropped at
an annual rate of 2.9 per cent
from July through September,
the third consecutive quarter
the Gross National Product has
declined, the government re-
ported yesterday.
A drop in the GNP in two con-
secutive quarters is a primary,
indicator of recession, although
President Ford and his top
economic adviser, Alan Green-
span, contend the economy is
not in a recession.
FEDERAL Reserve Board
Chairman Arthur Burns has
characterized the current eco-
nomic phase as a recession.
The last time the GNP de-
clined three quarters in a row
was during the recession ofI
1960-61.
The Commerce Department's
latest figures showed that the
face value of the gross national
product increased by $27.8 bil-
lion to an annual rate of $1,411.6
billion.
