Treasury note, which has fallen in recent weeks.The Federal Reserve has
been buying Treasury bonds since the fall. That has helped to lower
the yield. And in recent weeks, concerns that the U.S. and global
economies are slowing have led investors to shift money into safer assets,
like Treasurys, and away from stocks. Greater demand for Treasurys raises
their price and lowers their yield.The yield was 1.72 percent at midday
Thursday, up from 1.69 percent last week but still at a historically
low level.To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders
across the country on Monday through Wednesday each week. The average doesn't
include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to
get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan
amount.The average fee for 30-year mortgages rose to 0.8 point from 0.7
point last week. The fee for 15-year loans was unchanged at 0.7
point.The average rate on a one-year adjustable-rate mortgage fell to 2.58
percent from 2.63 percent last week. The fee for one-year adjustable-rate
loans increased to 0.5 point from 0.4.The average rate on a five-year
adjustable-rate mortgage rose to 2.62 percent from 2.60 percent. The fee
declined to 0.3 point from 0.5.
WASHINGTON The average U.S. rate on the 30-year mortgage fell closer
this week to its historic low and the 15-year rate marked a
record low. Low rates are increasing the affordability of buying homes and
refinancing.Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday the average rate for
the 30-year fixed loan slipped to 3.40 percent from 3.41 percent last
week. That's near the 3.31 percent rate reached in November, which was
the lowest on records dating back to 1971.The average rate on the
15-year fixed mortgage fell to 2.61 percent from 2.64 percent last week.
That's below the previous record low of 2.63 percent in November, the
lowest since the 1990s.Low mortgage rates are helping drive a housing recovery
that began last year. Home prices are rising. Sales of new and
previously occupied homes are up this year. Builders broke ground on homes
in March at the fastest annual pace in nearly five years.Sales of
new homes rebounded last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of
417,000, the government reported Tuesday. The increase added to evidence
of a sustained housing recovery at the start of the spring buying
season.New-home sales are still below the 700,000 pace considered healthy
by most economists. But the pace has increased 18.5 percent from a
year ago. Most economists see more gains ahead, as housing is likely
to remain a consistent driver of economic growth this year.Mortgage rates
are low because they tend to track the yield on the 10

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">Shown here are Federal Premium hollow point bullets.APRepublican Rep. Jason
Chaffetz said Thursday that the Department of Homeland Security is using
roughly 1,000 rounds of ammunition more per person than the U.S. Army,
as he and other lawmakers sharply questioned DHS officials on their "massive"
bullet buys."It is entirely ... inexplicable why the Department of Homeland
Security needs so much ammunition," Chaffetz, R-Utah, said at a hearing.The
hearing itself was unusual, as questions about the department's ammunition
purchases until recently had bubbled largely under the radar -- on blogs
and in the occasional news article. But as the Department of Homeland
Security found itself publicly defending the purchases, lawmakers gradually
showed more interest in the issue.Democratic Rep. John Tierney, D-Mass.,
at the opening of the hearing, ridiculed the concerns as "conspiracy theories"
which have "no place" in the committee room.But Republicans said the purchases
raise "serious" questions about waste and accountability.Chaffetz, who chairs
one of the House oversight subcommittees holding the hearing Thursday, revealed
that the department currently has more than 260 million rounds in stock.
He said the department bought more than 103 million rounds in 2012
and used 116 million that same year -- among roughly 70,000 agents.Comparing
that with the small-arms purchases procured by the U.S. Army, he said
the DHS is churning through between 1,300
Frustrated at being left out of an immigration overhaul, gay rights groups
are pushing to adjust a bipartisan Senate bill to include gay couples.
But Democrats are treading carefully, wary of adding another divisive issue
that could lose Republican support and jeopardize the entire bill.Both parties
want the bill to succeed. Merely getting to agreement on the basic
framework for the immigration overhaul, which would create a long and costly
path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million people in the U.S.
illegally, was no small feat for senators. And getting it through a
divided Congress is still far from a done deal.Even so, gay rights
groups, their lobbyists and grass-roots supporters are insisting the deal
shouldn't exclude bi-national, same-sex couples -- about 28,500 of them,
according to a 2011 study from the Williams Institute at UCLA Law.
They're ramping up a campaign to change the bill to allow gay
Americans to sponsor their partners for green cards, the same way straight
Americans can. Supporters trekked to the Capitol to make their case at
senators' offices on Wednesday."Opponents will be proposing amendments that,
if passed, could collapse this very fragile coalition that we've been able
to achieve," Sen. John McCain, an Arizona Republican, said last week at
the unveiling of the bill. He said the eight senators from both
parties who crafted the legislation are committed to voting against changes
that could kill it.For Dem
