Washington, DC - Ranking Member Dave Camp (R-MI) and Trade Subcommittee Ranking Member Kevin Brady (R-TX) today sent a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk, sharing the Administration’s disappointment regarding Japan’s decision to use an artificial measure of fuel economy to limit U.S. participation in the Japanese cash-for-clunkers program. 

The Members stated: “Over the years, we have been actively working to obtain market access opportunities for our automakers in Japan. In that long-running effort, this most recent episode has had a familiar feel to it. Just like in the past, the United States expended a massive amount of energy, only to receive a helpful, but all-too-modest result.”
