He agreed, however, that Florida was unlikely to restrict abortions. Florida was the first state to consider abortion legislation after a Supreme Court ruling in the summer of 1989 gave states the authority to impose some new restrictions. But the Legislature killed efforts to do so in a special session called by former Gov.

Bob Martinez. Lois Murphy, a staff attorney for the pro-choice league, said changes in Florida over the past three years, including the election of Gov. Lawton Chiles, made the state an unlikely arena for restrictions. "The new governor has made a commitment to protect the right to choose, which is a turnaround from Martinez," Murphy said. State Rep.

Elaine Gordon, D-Miami, agreed with the group's assessment. "The abortion rights have been assured by virtue of the Florida Supreme Court decision that has upheld a woman's right to have an abortion under the privacy provision in the state constitution," Gordon said. An amendment to the state constitution would be needed to make any changes in Florida abortion law, and Gordon said she thought that was extremely unlikely.

The Pennsylvania law requires pregnant women to notify their husbands and wait 24 hours before having abortions. Attorneys in the case have asked the court to rule on whether the "funda-1 mental right" to abortion still ex-istsr But the court could issue a narrow ruling that upholds the Pennsylvania law without ruling directly on the basic right to choose abortion. The league announced its findings as part of a campaign to increase awareness among pro-choice voters and raise money in this election year. Michelman said the group planned to spend about $4 million on the 1992 elections.

"Clearly, our effort must be aimed at establishing a national standard to reverse what the court is going to do to take away that right," she said.

The computer foul-up was only part of the problem: The first Tuesday of the month and a new year and the returning snowbirds swelled the normal lines at the stations, which are closed on Mondays. January is also one of the busiest months of the year for renewing vehicle registrations, partly because many people delay this task until after the holidays. The emissions tests are required before a registration renewal. But the extra traffic volume could have been handled easily if the computer had cooperated, Hagerty said. Since November, the central computers at the state Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles have overloaded and shut down at whim.

Technicians have not yet figured out why, spokesman Ed Birk said. "It's been perplexing," Birk said. The computer slowdown forced inspectors to manually punch in a vehicle's registration information.

Both sides have gone out of their way to express their conviction that markets must remain free, but the trade package emerging under heavy political pressure from Bush's visit will a-mount to managed trade, many Japanese and some U.S. officials said. But while the president and his aides were rewarded with friendly crowds and a notable absence of protesters, it was not at all clear how long that veneer of hospitality would remain intact. A key issue still being negotiated was the dollar value of U.S. au-tos and auto parts the Japanese will promise to acquire.

Under a voluntary program, Japanese auto companies have said they will increase their purchases of U.S.-made autos and parts to about $17 billion by 1994, from $9 billion. The United States is said to be asking for a higher figure.

Nuboru Hatakeyama, deputy minister for international trade and industry, said that the measures would increase Japanese imports in two years by more than $10 billion.

He said it was not certain how much of the imports would come from the United States, and officials said it could also include products shipped by Japanese-owned factories abroad to Japan. But officials also indicated that they expected the majority of the imports to come from U.S.-owned companies. What struck many was that the effect of those measures and those still under negotiation will be a large increase in government intervention in the market to help U.S.-made goods sell in Jpaan.

Automobiles and related products are responsible for three-fourths of the $41 billion yearly trade deficit that Washington runs with Tokyo.

The tension over the visit was further heightened by the heads of Detroit's Big Three automakers, who stepped off Air Force One behind Bush on Tuesday evening and promptly struck a frosty tone toward their Japanese hosts. The chairman of Ford, Harold Poling, said on Tuesday night that Japanese consumers buy so few U.S. cars because they are too enamored of luxury automobiles such as Mercedes and BMW, not because U.S. cars are poorly made.
