USCAR Names New Communications Director

    SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Feb. 25 -- Beryl Goldsweig of Ford Motor
Co. is communications director for the United States Council for Automotive
Research (USCAR) for a two-year term effective March 1.  In this position, she
will be responsible for communications for USCAR and the industry-government

    USCAR was formed in 1992 by Chrysler, Ford and GM to strengthen the
technology base of the domestic auto industry through cooperative,

of which has specific research goals.  For more information on USCAR or PNGV,
