Schauer Comments on Accelerated Purchase of 17,600 New American Cars for Government Fleet
Washington,
Apr 9, 2009 -
Today Congressman Mark Schauer (D-MI) commented on President Obama’s announcement that the General Services Administration (GSA) will accelerate its purchase of new cars for the government fleet by investing funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to buy about 17,600 new, fuel efficient vehicles produced by American auto companies by June 1, 2009.
“This is welcome news to the millions of Michigan families and retirees who rely on the American auto industry to make ends meet,” said Schauer. “By investing Recovery Act dollars in vehicles with improved fuel efficiency and hybrid technology, we can boost demand for advanced battery research and development, help move America towards energy independence, and help put people back to work.”
