Chrysler Loses Bid for Federal Aid
Chrysler Corp asked for 1.2 billion in federal loan guarantees but was turned down by the Carter administration as too large a ask. Treasury Secretary Miller urged substantial reworking of the plan with loans needing congressional approval. The automaker proposed 500 million guaranteed now and 700 million contingently, aiming to reach profitability by 1981 and repay by 1985 if guaranteed. Miller pressed for a much smaller total commitment and a revised blueprint, while Chrysler touted cash moves and asset sales to bolster liquidity.
