GM, Chrysler to get additional short-term aid
David Shepardson / Detroit News Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama will provide General Motors Corp. with short-term "working capital" as it conducts additional restructuring, while providing short-term aid to Chrysler LLC as it works to complete a tie-up with Fiat SpA.

Obama told four key Michigan members of Congress during a Sunday night conference call that he would grant unspecified additional aid to GM for 60 days and Chrysler for 30 days, according to a person familiar with the call.

5. Really I didn't read that so I guess I will wait until tomorrow when the
plans are revealed before I jump to that conclusion.

6. Maybe it wasn't explicitly spelled-out in that particular article, but ...
... it was admitted to before the Big Three execs went to Washington.
