Texas weather
Scattered showers and thunderstorms developed along a cold front
in East Texas, prompting the National Weather Service lo issue a
flash flood waicn for East Texas.
The watch area included the portion of North Texas generally east
of a line from Clarksville to Canton to Centerville, including the
cities of Clarksville, Mount Pleasant, Marshall, Tyler, Longview,
Athens, Palestine and Lufkin.
The watch was scheduled lo expire late today, but the showers and
thunderstorms arc expected lo conunue through Wednesday.
The showers and thunderstorms resulted when moist air from the
Gulf of Mexico overran a nearly stationary cold front that stretched
from near a Longview lo Waco to San Angelo line.
Forecasts called for widely scattered showers and thunderstorms,
more numerous over Northeast Texas with some heavy rainfall pos-
sible, across North Texas, South Texas and West Texas through Wed-
nesday.
The rainfall in the Panhandle is expected lo change to light snow
tonight.
Lows tonight will be mostly in the 30s in West Texas, ranging
from 28 in the Panhandle lo 43 in southeast portions, in the 30s over
northwest portions of North Texas and in the 40s and 50s over the
rest of North Texas and in the 40s in the Hill Country and in the 50s
and 60s over the rest of South Texas.
Highs Wednesday will be in the upper 30s in the Panhandle and in
the 40s and 50s over the rest of West Texas, in the 50s over most of
North Texas, ranging from the 40s in northwest portions to the 60s in
southeast portions and in the 60s in the Hill Country and in the 70s
and 80s over the rest of South Texas.

Mosbacher supports Tower
HOUSTON (AP) — Commerce
Secretary Robert Mosbacher, who
sailed through Senate hearings and
won approval to his new job by a
10(H) vote, said Monday the
Senate's handling of fellow Ifexan
John Tower to the top job at the
Defense Department has been un-
fair.
"1 think it's been dragged on an
awfully long time,” Mosbacher
said at a news conference following
an address lo Houston business
leaders. “As I understand u. the
FBI has been asked to go out
several times and evaluate and look
further.
“I've not heard nor have I read
anything new that they have
found."
Tower's nomination as defense
secretary has been stalled before a
Senate committee investigating al-
legations that include former busi-
ness ties to defense contractors, al-
cohol problems and womanizing.
President Bush, however, has
continued lo support his nomina-
tion of the former Texas senator.
“Just speaking as an average
citizen, I think he's being treated
pretty toughly and iu being drag-
ged on a very long lime. Mo*
bather said of Tower.
He said he did not know if Bush
had another person in mind should
Tower pull out or if the Senate de-
cides u> reject the nomination.
Mosbacher, however, joked
abouut his own easy approval by
the Senate, saying he was told the
unanimous vote would be the high
point of his career in Washington.
The Houston oilman, making his
first appearance in his hometown
since taking the federal job, lobbied
business and political figures lo
support the president's budget
proposals unveiled last week.
"All these things must be done
and must be done quickly," he said
of the budget proposals. “If not.
we’U (all under the Gramm Rud
man-Hotlings (budget cutting) bill.
“And we’U go into these seques-
tered mandated cuts and as we see
in our own businesses, it’s usually
the least efficient way to do it. The
only way we'ft going to get these
deficits down and move the country
the way George Bush warns it... is
to move his proposals through the
Congress."
He predicted interest rates would
go down if the budget message
wen passed fairly iniacL
On other matters, he denied any
friction already among cabinet
members.
“There are enough problems for
aU of us,” he said.
And he said a goal during his
tenure would be to move Com^
merce Department workers away
from statistical analysis of com-
merce and toward face-to-face con-
tact with business people and cus-
tomers.
“We have a lot of hard-working
people, but they're not getting out, ’
Mosbacher said. “I think you’ve
got to get out to potential cus-
tomers."

The play of the club from East was
