President Bush vetoes DC abortion bill in Costa Rica
President Bush vetoed a 4 billion District of Columbia appropriation that would allow locally raised funds to pay for abortions and expand rape and incest exceptions. He also vetoed a 156.7 billion HHS Labor Education bill for abortion funding in rape and incest cases. Barry blasted the veto as disruptive. Critics deemed the move politically charged and not overrideable.

Trade gap unlikely to be reduced in 1990
The Treasury Department told Congress that the United States will have difficulty reducing its large trade deficit in 1990. External adjustments like a lower dollar have run their course and will not substantially narrow the current account deficit, which was just over $60 billion in the first half of 1989. The report warned that any further improvement in 1990 would be modest at best and that deterioration could not be ruled out, with the U.S. international investment position deteriorating to a $533 billion net deficit from a 1981 surplus.
