About a year after Wash ington began its rescue of two Detroit automakers, so many federal officials want to attend the Detroit auto show that or ganizers have, for the first time, created a new credential specifically for those in gov ernment.
Requests for show passes are pouring in from members of Congress, the Department of Transportation and other agencies, Doug Fox, chairman of the 2010 North American In ternational Auto Show, said Friday. Taxpayers have pro vided more than $80 billion in aid to the auto industry.
When the show opens to the news media, ana lysts and politi cians Jan. 11, about twice as many federal of ficials are ex pected to be in attendance wearing the new gray and silver passes. The De troit auto show opens to the public Jan. 16.
With all of the interest from Washington, will President Barack Obama stop in to see how General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC are using taxpayer money?
At this point, it’s unclear.
“It’s certainly a possibility,” Fox said.
