Obama Administration New Path to Viability for GM & Chrysler
.....
• A Fresh Start to Implement Aggressive Restructurings: While Chrysler and GM are different
companies with different paths forward, both have unsustainable liabilities and both need a fresh
start. Their best chance at success may well require utilizing the bankruptcy code in a quick and
surgical way. Unlike a liquidation, where a company is broken up and sold off, or a conventional
bankruptcy, where a company can get mired in litigation for several years, a structured bankruptcy
process – if needed here – would be a tool to make it easier for General Motors and Chrysler to
clear away old liabilities so they can get on a path to success while they keep making cars and
providing jobs in our economy.
• A Commitment to Consumer Warrantees: The Administration will stand behind new cars
purchased from GM or Chrysler during this period through an innovative warrantee commitment
program.
• Appointment of a Director of Auto Recovery: The Administration also announced that Edward
Montgomery, a top labor economist and former Deputy Secretary of Labor, will serve as Director
of Recovery for Auto Workers and Communities. Dr. Montgomery will work to leverage all
resources of government to support the workers, communities and regions that rely on the
American auto industry.
