WASHINGTON (AP) — Re
searchers have discovered a disease
virus in domestic cats that is remark
ably similar to the one which causes
AIDS in humans', a development
they say could make cats an ideal an
imal model for AIDS research.
Scientists at the University of Cali
fornia at Davis say the new cat virus
is genetically distinct from the hu
man AIDS virus, but causes a very
similar disease in the animals.
Although both disease agents be
long to the same unusual subfamily
of viruses called retroviruses, there
is no indication the cat virus can in
fect human beings, they said.
“There is no evidence for cat-to-
human or human-to-cat infection,”
said Niels C. Pedersen, principal sci
entist involved in the study.
In a paper to be published Friday
in the journal Science, researchers
say the new virus is distinct from
other retroviruses that can infect
cats, including feline leukemia virus.
Feline leukemia virus causes di
verse cancers and other diseases, in
cluding an immune deficiency simi
lar to human AIDS. But none of the
cats infected with the new virus
showed evidence of infection by the
leukemia virus.
The researchers said the immune
disease caused by the new virus clo
sely parallels symptoms seen in the
human disease, with infected cats
having swollen lymph nodes, severe
weight loss, diarrhea, respiratory in
fections, anemia and numerous par
asitic infections.
The new virus, named feline T-
lymphotropic lentivirus or FTLV,
also targets the same T-lymphocyte
white blood cells that are infected by
the human AIDS virus.
The scientists, including Janet Ya
mamoto, Esther Ho and Mario
Brown, said a limited survey of
blood samples seen at the universi
ty’s veterinary medicine school has
confirmed the existence of the virus
in diseased cats from many different
Northern California areas.
Although preliminary evidence
suggests FTLV is widespread, they
say, no one yet knows its disease-
causing potential in the general do
mestic cat population.
Dr. Ricnard Olsen, professor of
virology at Ohio State University
and the developer of the vaccine
against feline leukemia virus, said
the California findings could have
major implications for veterinary
medicine and animal diseases.
“This virus has to be evaluated to
see if it is a major feline pathogen,”
Olsen said in a telephone interview.
“I doubt that this is a new virus. (It’s)
just one we have not seen before.”
Dr. William Hardy, an expert on
cat viruses and immune deficiency at
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer
Center in New York City, said he
could not comment in detail on the
new virus because he had not seen
the paper.
“But from what I hear, it looks
like an interesting finding,” Hardy
said in an interview. “We know that
feline leukemia virus causes AIDS in
cats and having another virus of this
type would be helpful to research.”

high speeds, where the speed limit
would remain at 55 mph, but Boul-
tinghouse says Barton doesn’t be
lieve this assumption is true.
“I don’t think that that’s going to
happen here,” he says. “One of the
arguments that has been made is
that once you get the camel’s nose
under the tent, it’s all over from
there. But you can make that argu
ment with almost any situation that
you’re dead-set against.”
Brackett says some supporters of
the higher speed limit assume incor
rectly that they are being denied
some kind of constitutional right.
“The argument typically ex
pressed in the West,” Brackett says,
“is that of personal freedom: ‘You
are infringing on what I consider to
be my right to drive as fast as I want
to.’ Unfortunately, (driving) is not a
right, it’s a privilege granted by the
state.”
Not only can speeders endanger
other drivers with their excessive
speeds, Brackett says, but excessive
speed in itself intensifies the danger.
“It shouldn’t increase the number
of accidents on the rural interstates,”
Brackett says, “but those accidents
that do occur will be more severe be
cause people are traveling at a
higher rate of speed.
“The forces involved do not in
crease linearly, they increase expo
nentially. So the forces involved in
the accidents that do occur are going
to be much, much higher.”
Some supporters of the higher
speed limit acknowledge that some
lives are lost, but that the vast
amount of motorists are forced to
spend a disproportionate amount of
person-years on the roadway. Per
son-years are accumulated time, ef
fort and delay spent driving 55 mph.
A report published by Transpor
tation Research Board, which was
commissioned to study this issue and
report to Congress, estimates that
each life saved on U.S. roadways by
the 55-mph limit cost American
drivers 97 person-years.
Brackett says the price of a human
life is more important than the time
saved.

gas found and the amount of money
spent looking for it.
Holditch said one consequence of
low prices in the oil industry is that
there are more graduate students in
petroleum engineering. During the
oil boom of the late 1970s and early
1980s, it was almost impossible to
keep the best students in school.
Now they are needed for research,
he said, to get the flagging industry
back on its feet.
According to Zerle L. Carpenter,
animal science professor at A&M
and director of the Texas Agricultu
ral Extension Service, agriculture is
big business in Texas.
He said the fact agriculture has
been able to hang on in the Brazos
Valley says something — the Brazos
Valley is more stable than many
other agricultural areas of the state,
with $72 million in cash receipts
from agriculture last year in Brazos
and Burleson Counties.

Thirdly, the current rate of for
eign exchange is important for
Texas to recognize because the most
aggressive activity in investments in
the state is primarily coming from
overseas, he said.
Overseas manufacturers are very
interested in locating plants in Texas
at this time, and a knowledge of the
advantages they can gain by moving
is important for Texas businessmen,
Cochrane said.
Cochrane ended the program
with a brief question-and-answer ses
sion in which he said the overall agri
culture industry figures in Texas are
relatively positive and most of the se
rious problems are isolated in the
Rio Grande Valley.
(Continued from page 6)
He said A&M also has an
advantage over other universi
ties in getting businesses to de
velop in its park because A&M
allows both manufacturing
and research operations.
Many universities allow only
research.
The three developers
agreed that cooperation be
tween A&M, Bryan and Col
lege Station is critical if the
area is to bring in new compa
nies and expand its industrial
production.
Money said there are more
industrial parks nationwide
than there are new businesses
to fill them.
Dick Haddox, vice chair
man of the College Station
Economic Development Foun
dation, said the College Sta
tion industrial park comple
ments, not competes with, the
Bryan and A&M parks.
“Everyone should work
together,” Haddox said.
“It’s better to have a new
business in one (industrial
park) than none.”
Tom Salamon, president of
the Bryan Development Foun
dation, said some companies
that have main offices outside
Brazos Valley, but have man
ufacturing plants in Bryan-
College Station, are shutting
down plants and consolidat
ing. Salamon said these firms
should be encouraged to move
their operations to the area.
Haddox suggested target
ing Houston businessmen who
A
are A&M graduates to invest
in the community.
“A&M graduates are the
most loyal people in the
world,” Haddox said.
