The Obama administration is still considering several scenarios for Chrysler as its mandated March 31st deadline for viability approaches, with three of the automaker’s top executives meeting with government officials today to discuss possible options.
Chrysler CEO Bob Nardelli, vice chairman Tom LaSorda and CFO Ron Kolka all made the trip to our Nation’s capital on Wednesday, meeting with officials from the U.S. Treasury Department and the White House National Economic Council. According to The Detroit News, Steven Rattner, head of the Treasury Department’s auto team, and Ron Bloom, an auto advisor for the Treasury Department, were present at the meetings.
Most of the discussions reportedly centered on Chrysler ’s request for an additional $5 billion in emergency bridge loans.
General Motors is slated for a similar meeting later this week.
