FORD CEO ALAN MULALLY TESTIFIES ON CAPITOL HILL
2008-11-22 22:10:00 Testimony of Alan R. Mulally President and Chief Executive Officer, Ford Motor Company Senate Banking Committee November 18, 2008 Thank you Mr. Chairman, Senator Shelby and members of the Committee. I appreciate the opportunity to be here with you today representing Ford Motor Company as you consider issues that are absolutely critical to this venerable American company and to the nation. In my judgment, there are two fundamental questions on the table today: Is there a competitive and sustainable future for our domestic automotive industry? Is the provision of government assistance to help bridge the domestic auto industry through these difficult economic times more favorable to our nation than the costs of inaction?

The domestic industry is increasingly more competitive and sustainable and is in many respects on par with our foreign competitors. A decision to make government assistance availabl...

2008-09-23 18:06:00 Have you watched or heard the performances on Capitol Hill today? The financial wizards are playing to woeful parts, with congressional actors as the slow downers but the results will tell whether this is a crime of theatrics or whether Congress holds onto what's left of its oversight responsibilities. Without oversight, American tax payers (apparently the lenders of last resort) will have no
