     Representative Oxley and Other Key Lawmakers to Discuss Findings

  Who:    Congressman Michael Oxley (OH-4); Timothy MacCarthy, The
          Association of International Automobile Manufacturers; Sean
          McAlinden, The Center for Automotive Research.

  What:   AIAM, the Association of International Automobile Manufacturers
          and The Center for Automotive Research, a research group dedicated
          to global automotive issues, will release a new study on the
          economic contributions of the new American automakers to the U.S.
          economy.  Over the past several decades, the new American
          automakers -- international companies that manufacture and sell
          passenger cars and light duty trucks in the United States -- have
          made substantial investments in manufacturing plants and other
          facilities in this country. Those investments have paid off, in
          terms of new jobs and in making the vehicles that Americans want
          to drive.
