Washington AP reports the Nixon administration uncovered a surprising 3.1 billion dollar federal budget surplus for the 1989 fiscal year ended June 30. Receipts reached 387.8 billion with outlays of 184.8 billion, driven by higher individual income taxes and lower corporate refunds. Senate Democrats questioned the tax surcharge case as the surplus redefines budget footing.
