Court upholds U S strike on Japan whaling deal
An appeals court ruled the Reagan administration must cut Japan's fishing rights in U S waters for failing to halt sperm whale killings. The decision, upholding a lower court ruling, said Congress intended penalties under a 1978 law for any nation violating whaling quotas, regardless of IWC treaty status. Environmental groups cheered, saying the ruling protects the depleted species from further slaughter.

Pentagon finds profits not unreasonable in major contractor study
The 18 month analysis examined 76 major contractors and found profits not unreasonable with limited changes needed in how the Pentagon pays manufacturers. Air Force Col Ronald Finkbiner noted a key proposal to weight profits by productivity investments and cost reductions. The report criticizes progress payments to shipyards and notes most officials doubt the current negotiated price method promotes efficiency. It did not tackle fraud waste or tax effects.
