threw itself at the mercy of Congress saying it needed 4 billion to avert a cash crisis by the end of the month and as much as 18 billion in federal loans over the next yearGM and rivals Chrysler and Ford all pleaded for government loans promising in return to use the opportunity to slash costs jettison brands restructure their finances and speed the introduction of fuelefficient vehicles considered crucial to their futureTogether the three auto giants sought at least 28 billion and as much as 38 billion in government assistance more than the 25 billion they requested just two weeks ago Battered by the lowest car sales in a quarter century and tight credit conditions the companies said they needed the money just to survive the next yearThere is no plan B said Fritz Henderson GM's president and chief operating officerIt was a humble moment for the three auto behemoths which once were synonymous with American ingenuity and industrial might Over the past three decades they have lost ground to more agile foreign rivals that favored smaller cars built by nonunionized labor at lower wagesThis year the combination of high fuel prices and the paralysis in the credit markets has brought the US companies to the brink Chrysler Tuesday sought 7 billion by the end of the month Ford which is in stronger financial condition asked Congress to set aside as much as 13 billion to help the company if the economic downturn deepensThe companies presented their plans Tuesday a deadline set by Congress but there was no guarantee wary lawmakers would agree to pump taxpayer money into firms that might not be financially viableHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi DCalif said Tuesday that Congress would not adopt a loan package for the automakers unless the ailing giants presented a new business model a new business plan that was worthy of the support that the taxpayers will invest in itBut she also said that bankruptcy is not an option and predicted that either Congress or the Bush administration would intervene to prevent a collapse of the industry Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid DNev told reporters he expects to call the Senate back into session early next week with the aim of passing a bill by next FridayThe chief executives of the three companies all seemed mindful of the drubbing they took two weeks ago when they sought taxpayer assistance Excoriated for traveling by corporate jets to testify in Washington all said they would make the return 500mile trip by car this week for the new round of hearings Ford chief executive Alan Mulally and GM chief executive G Richard Wagoner Jr also offered to cut their salaries to 1 a year if the government provides aid Chrysler already pays chief executive Robert Nardelli that sum in salary GM said it would also roll back other executives' payThe magnitude of the crisis as portrayed by the companies is daunting Though the three Detroit car companies described a dire situation two weeks ago the situation seems even more grave now GM said will need 12 billion by late March to keep operating If the recession drags on it might ultimately need up to 18 billionLA TimesWashington PostNews Service
