Bush eases metric labeling rules for food and drugs
President Bush signed a measure relaxing the metric requirement for food and drug labels. Manufacturers may use inches and pounds on new labels due February 1994 under the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act. The original law made metric the primary measuring system. Three former associates of Charles Keating reach a securities settlement and agree to cooperate with authorities. Judy Wis cher, Mark Souter, and Andrew Ligget settle charges without admitting fault.

House panel clears financial planner bill
The House Energy and Commerce Committee advanced a bill to strengthen oversight of 17,500 investment advisers. It would raise annual fees from 150 to 300 to 7,000 based on assets managed to fund more SEC inspections, addressing a tiny staff that now examines firms only about once every 30 years. The measure follows a Newport Beach case involving a money manager accused of $113 million in fraud against local governments.
