That bill — the product of a hard-fought negotiation between congressional Democrats and the Bush White House — was virtually dead on arrival in the Senate, where Republicans said it was too weak in its demands on the car companies and contained unacceptable environmental mandates for the Big Three.
Environmental mandates? Unacceptable!
Ford is no longer asking for Federal money. So why would the bill have mandates that included them?
