Ford President Lee Iacocca warned before the New York Chamber of Commerce that tough 1975–76 antipollution standards threaten a near total U.S. auto industry shutdown unless suspended. He proposed a one-year halt with interim cleaner standards and tests, California exemptions, and a five-year study to gauge catalytic converter feasibility, promising potentially $1 billion yearly savings for buyers.
