...Treasury Secretary Henry Fowler took another tack. Contingency planning, he said, should begin as soon as possible and involve poor nations as well as rich. By last week's vote, the Ten agreed not only to continue seeking some kind of reform but also to broaden deliberations by including the 20-member executive board of the International Monetary Fund. Half the board is drawn from Group of Ten nations, but the other members represent African, Arab, Asian and Latin American countries, which will now be able to insert poor-nation needs and notions into the debate and perhaps break...

As for a head tax on foreign-bound U.S. tourists, who will contribute about $2.5 billion to the payments deficit this year, compared to $1.8 billion last year, Fowler said that such an idea has been "laid quietly to rest for the time being." In all, the Administration plans to continue relying on its "voluntary" restraints, which have proved to be ineffective and which put practically all the burden of reducing overseas spending on business and individual citizens...
