President Bush Meets with CEOs of U.S. Automobile Manufacturers
President Bush on Tuesday said, "We've had a fascinating discussion about a lot of major issues that we share in common. ... We talked about our mutual desire to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Obviously, as these automobile manufacturers begin to incorporate new technologies that will enable us to power our cars in different ways, it will make it easier for me to be able to tell the American people we're using less foreign oil. And that's in our economic interests, as well as in our national security interests."

ambitions." In Focus: Global Diplomacy
