U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., flanked by Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., and Rep. Dale Kildee, D-Mich., meets with reporters Wednesday, Sept. 24, on Capitol Hill to discuss the House budget plan that includes funding for $25 billion in loans for U.S. automakers.
The industry had asked for up to $50 billion over three years, but eased off after the idea met strong resistance.
“We’ve got the best deal for the industry that we can,” said Rep. John Dingell, D-Dearborn. “I think we got that which they need to go forward.” But, he added: “
We will be starting on the second $25 billion, which we’re going to have to get because the costs to the industry are going to be larger."
