Leaders of America’s big three automakers met with U.S. lawmakers on Capitol Hill to discuss the future of the domestic auto business. Tom LaSorda, Rick Wagoner, and Bill Ford pushed for incentives to increase the use of ethanol fuel. “If we want a game changer, and a game changer in very short term and in big numbers, then ethanol is a very good play for this country,” said Bill Ford. GM’s Rick Wagoner stressed the automakers are not looking for bailout. “We really tried to make it clear to them we weren’t interested in coming, asking for help for the domestic auto industry,” Wagoner said. “We were interested in talking about things that would improve the competitiveness of the U.S. economy.” Senator Carl Levin agreed the nation needs to work on “giving them support to level the playing field.” The executives plan to meet President George Bush in June.
