ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Association of
International Automobile Manufacturers, Inc. (AIAM) released the following
remarks by Michael J. Stanton, President and CEO, regarding the newly released
EPA greenhouse gas and NHTSA CAFE regulations for 2012-2016.

"AIAM and its member companies have long supported a single, national program
to improve fuel economy and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Today's
release of the proposed harmonized national standards for GHG emissions and
fuel economy by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), respectively, is a welcome step
toward implementation of that critically important program.

"Due to the length and complexity of the materials released today, we won't be

efforts of this Administration, especially the EPA and NHTSA, as well as other
participants, in laying out a coordinated path toward a cleaner, more fuel
