Bush is set to tour a GM and a Ford assembly plant on Tuesday. The GM plant in Fairfax, Kansas builds the Chevy Malibu and the Malibu Maxx. The Saturn Aura Hybrid will be built there later this year. The Ford assembly plant is in Claycomo, Mo. There they build the Ford Escape Hybrid, the traditional Ford Escape and the F-150.
Bush and Congress have been bearing down on the automakers lately. Bush wants to speak on his push for alternative fuels, a move both GM and Ford support. Both the president and the congress want to increase CAFE numbers. Although Bush has called for the pull back on the 60,000 limit on the current federal tax credit, Congress has not acted to do so.
