House Speaker Nancy Pelosi met with key House Democrats on Monday to consider a variety of ways to aid the struggling U.S. auto industry. The hourlong meeting focused on whether Congress should move to quickly approve up to $25 billion in "bridge financing" to aid automakers through a mounting fiscal crisis. The money would be in addition to the $25 billion auto loan program funded by Congress in September to help retool factories to build more efficient vehicles.
Drew Hammill, a spokesman for Pelosi, said "discussions (are) ongoing," but declined to elaborate on Monday's meeting.
