A Texas cattlemen's association votes unanimously against a proposal to raise road load limits, arguing roads serve private citizens and farm products transport.

Secretary Weeks sees positive signals for the economy, including rising retail sales, investment, auto sales, and high employment, but warns profits squeeze and insufficient housing starts.
