"It's important to have Chrysler preserved as a viable, competitive entity."

"I believe there's a good chance that this package will be put together."

"This is a good investment for the Federal Government as well as for Chrysler, its employees, its dealers, its suppliers, and the communities involved."

"These steps are designed to remove supplies from the market in order to assure that price levels will not be unduly affected."
