[OT] Attn: Karl, Re: Fuel Cell Cars

Karl, you expressed interest in knowing if foreign automakers would have

access to Bush's Fuel Cell program.

According to U.S. Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham, foreign automakers will
be allowed to take advantage of government funding for fuel cell research.

The only catch is: "The goal we have is that we want to be sure there is

reciprocity," Abraham said. "We want to make sure that American companies,
whether it is in the automotive sector or the energy sector, would be given
similar opportunities in other countries if their governments are involved in
these kinds of research efforts."
