U.S. Congressman Tim Walberg (R-MI) today issued the following statement after meeting with the leaders of America's leading auto producers:

"Michigan's economic turnaround depends on Congress giving automakers and their employees the opportunity to innovate, grow and expand. We must address our energy issues with sound policy and do it with the support and cooperation of Michigan's largest employers. Our American auto manufacturers spend $20 billion a year on research and development, and that's why I am co-sponsoring legislation to extend the research and development tax credit, so we can keep these high-tech, high-paying jobs here in Michigan."
