I share President Obama’s goal of a viable and competitive domestic automotive industry, which is an essential part of America’s manufacturing base and our national security, and a critical source of green jobs for the future. We need a forward-looking and healthy automobile industry that prizes innovation and competitiveness.
The automotive industry has long been part of our nation’s economic strength, and it can be again. Congress is committed to working with the President to renew the auto industry so it can become a global, competitive, and innovative leader in fuel efficiency and in advanced energy-efficient technologies that reduce our dependence on oil and protect our environment.
