Ford and GM Seek One Year Delay on Emission Standards
Ford Motor Co and General Motors urged EPA to delay 1975 auto emission standards. Ford testified it spent 162 million on pollution tech in 1972 without a path to meet the limits. GM warned of a possible business catastrophe if standards are enforced and proposed California as a testing ground for catalytic converters. Meanwhile a separate case in Sioux City saw three men plead guilty to murder in a related federal proceeding, with sentencing expected in weeks.
