The agency released its annual congressional report, alongside a Defense Intelligence Agency report, publicly for the first time in 15 years. Secretary Baker and Foreign Minister Kozyrev met to clear the way for Bush and Yeltsin to outline guidelines at the upcoming summit for another round of strategic missile cuts.

Supreme Court action delays key abortion clinic access ruling
The Supreme Court postponed a decision likely until 1993 on whether federal courts and law enforcement can halt anti abortion protesters from blocking abortion clinics. The case will be reheard in the fall. The court also asked a Montana case be reconsidered that would allow consumers bumped from oversold flights to sue under state law for damages. It agreed to review Saudi Arabia torture claims by a North Carolina man seeking to sue a foreign government under a 1976 law. It will use a Virginia case to decide if employers may fund pension plans with property rather than cash. It limited the government's power to regulate pistols convertible into short barreled rifles.
