[0:02] It's the end of the road for the
[0:04] national 55 mph speed limit. President
[0:07] Clinton says yes to signing the law
[0:09] repealing it. It's the beginning of the
[0:12] road for US forces heading for Bosnia.
[0:14] The first 700 could be on the ground
[0:16] there this weekend. And eye on America.
[0:20] Does a growing meat monopoly mean

[1:11] patrols the roads of Northern Colorado.
[1:14] >> He's doing 19 over the posted speed
[1:16] limit of 65. Tracking down and ticketing
[1:19] people who take rush hour too literally.
[1:21] >> I'm a bit of a lead foot myself, so I
[1:24] tend to go over 65 quite a bit. The
[1:26] leadfoot drivers here may soon have more
[1:29] leeway under a proposed new law that
