Auto industry seeks Reagan aid to ease emissions rules
Washington sources report U S automakers urged President Reagan to help relax emission standards to boost 1983 model sales. Executives said revisions to the Clean Air Act could save 80 to 300 dollars per car and lift sales by 300000 annually, while warning 211000 workers have been laid off amid industry losses projected at 1 4 billion dollars. The group pressed for swift action and tax credit proposals, with White House officials noting no firm pledge on tax cuts.
