>> IN THE"fáQUI STATED EARLIER, IT BEó[Ñ A GORNMENT OF UNITY FOR ALL E AFGHAN PEOPLE. A MATTER OF FACT, AS I'V STATE MANY TIMES BEFORE, I DON'T HAVE AN OPPOSITION. DON'T HAVE ANY PERSONITY ANY GROUP?i1 AS MY OPPOSITN. DON'T WANT TO BE OPPOSED TO ANYBODY. THAT'S WHY DON'T HAVE A POLITICAPARTY. SO MY VERNMENT WILL BE FOR ALL AFGHANç
>> Warner: KARZAI ALSO EXTEND HIS HAND THE TALIBANGAÃaaH INSUENTS URGING TM TO COME BACK TOHEIR COUNTRY. THE TALIBAN CLAIMED A VICTORY OF THEIRWN CROWING ABT THEIR ROLE IN DERAING THE RUN-OFF.?Mñkk "OUR BRAVE MUJAHADIN RE ABLE TO-9 DISRUPTHE ENTI PROCESS.

AND TOY/+ HEAD OF THE UNITE NATIONS ASSTANCE MISSION INç AFGHANTAN SAID KARZAI MUST WE OUT CORRUPT OFFICIALS AND NAME A COMPETENT GERNMENT OR RISK LOSING INTERNAONAL BACKIN7s
>> WE E REALLY AT THE TURNING POINT. WE'VE SEEN HOW÷i THEUPPORT FOR THE COMMITMENT TO AFGHANISTAN IS BEING QSTIONED IN THE NUMBERFROOP CONTRIBUTINGÑ. COUNTRIES AND DONOR COUNTRS. TH DOUBT HAS TO BEEMOVe IT IF UPO THE PRESIDENTND HIS NEW CABINET TO THAT.
>> Warner: WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS IF HE DOESN'T MAKE THESE CHANGEç THAT TERNATIONAL SUORT COULD FADE SUBSTAIALLY.ç
>> I THINK THE DEBE THAT WE'LL SEE OVER THE FEW MTHS IN THE COMMUNITY WILL BECOME EVEN MORE HEATED, EVE MORE DIFFICULT, IF WE DOi NOT HAVE AN IMPORTAN POSITIVE TNG GIVEN THROUGH THEç COMPOSITION OF A NEW GOVERNMENT. >>arner: HE WARN THAT KARZAI SHOULD NOT DELUDE MSELF INTO THINKING THAT INTERNATNAL SUPPORT IS LIMITLESS.
>> SOMEFGHANS BELIEVE T AFGHANISTAN IS OF SUCH STRATEGIIMPORTANCE THAT WE WILL STAY HEREç, WHATEVER HAPPENS. IT IS SIMPLY NOT CORRECT.

>> THE INTNATIONAL COMMUNITY'S MIION IN AFGHANISTAN ISç WITHOUTANY DOUBT A TOUGH ONE. IT DEMANDS A LOT FROM ALL OF US, AND ITW NOWEEDS TO BE TRANSFERRE TO THE NEXTPHASE AS SOON AS THE NEW AFGHAN GORNMENT IS IN OFFICE. OUR OBJECTI MUST BE A STTEGY, THEç TRANSF OF RESPONBILITY.
>> Warne FRANCE ALSO SAID I WOULD STAY THE CRSE IN AFTER AFGHANISTAN. BRIT PRIME MINISTER GORDON BROWN ECHOED WARNIS THAT PRIDENT KARZAI MUS TAKE IMMEATE ACTION ON CORRUPTION IFEç EXPEC TH U.K.' PPORT TO CONTINUE.ç Lehrer:OW GWEN IFILL EXAMIN THE AMERICAN RESPONSE TO THE KARZAI VICTORY.
>> Ifill: PRESIDENT OBAMAó[Ñy7i SAID HE WOULD NOT DEDE WHETHER TO SEND MORE TROOPS AFGHANISTAN UNTIL THE ELECON S OVER. NOW THATT IS, WILL A KARZAI PRESIDENCYAKE THAT TASK EASIER OR MORE DIFFICUL FOR THAT, WE TURN TO CONGRESAN MES McGOVERN, A MASSACHUSETT DEMOCRAT WHO'S CALLEFOR THE U.S. TO MP DOWN ITS MILITARY PRESENCE IN AFGHANISTAN. AND JAMES DOBBINS, CAREER DIPLOMAT WHO WASHE TOP U.S. OFFICIAL AT THE INTERNIONAL CONFEREN THAT INSTALLED KARZAI AS PRESIDT IN 2002. HE THINKS E U.S. MILITARY PRESENCE SHOULD BE INCREASED CONGSSMAN McGOVERN, WHAT IS YOUR INIAL REACTION TO T RESTATEMENT, I GUESS WE CAN CALL IT, OF PRESIDENT KARZAI.
>> PRESIDENT DEFAULT. THIS WHOLE ELECTION PROCESS WAS EPLYkO FLAWE WE'RE TOLD BY PETER GALBRAIT THAT AT LEAST 30% OF KARZAI'S VOTE WAS FRAUDULEN YOU KNOW, THIS I THE GUY THAT WE'RGOING TO RALLYWS%(Q$IND? MEAN, WE REALLY THINK THAT THERE CAN BE A HAPPY?oi ENDING WITH TH MAN WHO HAS BEEN THERE NOW FOR ALMT EIGHT YEARS AND CORRUPTION IS NO SOMETHING NEW. CORRUPTION H BEEN A PROBLEM FOR ALL THE TIMEE'S BEEN THERE.jF IN THE "NEW RK TIMES" DISPCH JUST SA WAS ASKED IF DEALING WITH CORRUPTION MHT INVOLVE CHANGING IMPORTA MINISTERS AND OFFIALS. AS YOU KNOW SOME OF THE PEOPLE HE'S AOINTED ARE OF QUESTIONABLE CHACTER. HIS REONSE WAS HISç OBLEMS CANNOT BE SOLVED BY CHANGING HIGH-RANKING OFFICIALS. WE'LL REVI THE LAWSND SEE WHAT THEROBLEMS ARE INHE LAWS. I DON'T BELIEVE HE'S SERIOUS ABOUT CHANGINGHE CHARACTERñ15"d I QUE FRANKLY AVERY, VERY CONCERNED ABOU THE FUTEç OF OUR POLICY.
>> Ifill: NOT ONLY MR. McGOVERN BUT ALSO AT LEA 50 OF HIS COLLEAGUESAGREE TH HIM IN THE HOUSE,m+w MR. DOBBIN, THAT TH IS SOMETHING THE U.S SHOULDç BE PULLINITSELF OUT OF. WHAT DO YOU THINK IN THEAKE OFHE ELECTION RESTS?
>> I THINK THE PSSURE ON PRESIDENT KARZ TO MAKE REFORMS AND TO MAKE A MORE VIGOROUS7<8, ROLE IN LIMING CORRTION IS ENTIRELY APOPRIATE. I?; THI THAT IT'S QUI USUAL FOR THE CONGRESS T PAY A D COP AND ROLE AND TH ADMINISTRATION TO PLAY A GOODkk COP ROLE. THE MINISTRATION PROVIDG POSITIVE REFORCEMT AND THEO5$r CONGSS BRANDING THE STICK. FROM THE STANDPOINT OF GETTING KARZAI'S ATTENTION AND GTING ACTION, THIS IS0A UP TO A DEGRE I THINKç THE ELECTIOWAS CERTAIYA SETBACK IN RMSél CONDUCTED BUT EVEN AFTE ALLOWING FOR THE FACT TH... EVEN AFT DISALLOWING HE VOTES THAT WERE FOUND TO BE FRAUDULENT,óS2; KARZAI COT 48% F THE VOTE IN E FIRST ROUND IN A FIELD OF 25 CANDIDAT.ç THERE'NOT A SINGLE MEMBER O CONGRESS OR AMERICANRESIDENT WHO WOULD GET 48% OF THE VOTE IF HE WAS RUNNING AGAINS 25 OTHER OPPONTS.
>> Ifi:ç HE'S AS LEGITIMATE IN YOUR ONION AS HE CAN BE IN THIS SETTING? RROUNDED BY ITALY, FRANCE GERMANY ANAUSTRIA. IT'S SRROUNDED BYógç TURKMENISTAN, UZBEKISTAN AND IRAN. HOW MANY O THOSEç HAVE LEGITITE GOVERNMENTS? THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE ELECTION HE WAS INN ELECTIONN WHI THERE RE 25 CAIDATES. THERE WAS SOM FRAUD. THE FRAUD WAMET ANDVA8 DLT WITH BY AN INTERNATIONLY MANDATED COMMISSN.i] HE STI GOT A VERY SUBSNTIAL VOTE AND WOULD HAVE ALMOSTERTAINLY RUN ON A SECOND ROUND IF ABDULLAH HADN PULLED OUT.
>> Ifill: YOU HEARD PRESIDENTojC REMOVE T STIGMA AND ATHE SAME TIMTO REACH OUT TO THE TALIBAN.j] HE H NO REAL OPPOSITION PAY AGAINST HIM. DO YOU THINK HE'S CAPABLE OF DOING AT?
>> LOOK AT. I DON'T OW. T ME JUST SAY THAT AFTER7s EIGHT YARS-- THAT'S LONG THIS WAR HAS BEEN GOI ON--ç BILLIONS AND BILONS OF U.S. DOLLARS, WE HAVE LOST, YOU OW, COUNTLESSIVILIANS AND WE HAVE LOST, YOU KNOW, THOUSANDOF AMERICAN VESç. THIS IS THE BES THAT WE CAN GET? A PRESIDT(OG A COUNTRY WHO IS N BEING INSTALLED BY DEFAULT, BYLL ACCOUNTSHE ELECTION W NOT ONLY A SETBACK BUT WAS A JOKE. YOU IS THIS WHERE WRE GOING TO PUT ALL OURwm+ MONEY? OUR MEN AND WOMEARE GOING TO E FOR THIS? TH IS A COUNTRY, GWEN, THAT ITS NOTACCUSTOMED TO A CENTRALIZEGOVERNMENT. THISS THE GOVERNMENT THAT QUITE FRANKLY IS T GOVERNMENT THAT THE[ó U.S PUSHED FOR. AND IT'S CORRUPT IT'S INCPETENT.;Y U KNOW, I THINK WE HVE TO THINK TWICE FORE POURING MORE MONEY INTO THIS SYSTEM. I CERTAIY DO NOT LIEVE AT BYXPANDç EXPANDG OUR MILIRY FOOTPRINT IT WIL ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING. BYç ESTABLISHING THE MILITARY FOOTPRIN PRINT IN AFGHANISTAN WE A HELPING TH TABAN GET REUITS. I THINK NEED TO MOVE A VERY DIFFERENT DI°@1RJJy OUR ORIGINAL MISSION WAS TO GO AFTER AL QAED IT HAS MOVEDOu/" PAKIAN. GENERAL JOZ SA THERE ARE THAN 10 MEMBERS OF AL QAEDA IN PAF BEGAN STAN. DO WEEED 1,000-PLUS AMERICAN TROOPS TO GOFTERó&Eç LESS THAN 10 MEMBERS OAL QAEDA. WE NEED TOyM RE-EVALUATE WHAT WE'RE ING.
>> Ifill: ES THE OUTCOME OF THIS ELECTION, EVE IF IT HAD RUN S NATURAL COURSE AND FOR ME REASON ABDLAH ABDULLA D WON, WOULD IT HAVE CHANGED WHAT THE PRESINT'SDECISION- MANG SHOULD BE ABOUTHAT TO DO AS FAR AS TROOPS"g I THINK THAT THE IRREGULARITI IN THE ELECTION DEFINITELY MAKE E PRESIDENT'S DECISION MORE DIFFILT. AND ASSUMING HE MAKES A DECISION TO McCHRYSTAL SOME OR ALL OF WHAT HE ASKED FOR,IT WILL MA THATç DECISION MORE CONTROVERSIA DON'T KNOW THAT LOGICALLY IT SHOULD CHANGE THE NATURE O THAT DECISN. AFTER ALL WE DIDN'T INVADE AFGHANISTAN FOR E BENEFIT OF E PSá$ANS. WE INVADED AFGHANISTAN FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ARICANS CAUSE OF THE ATTACK ON 9/1ç AND 'VE NOT STAYE THERE FOR THE BENEFIT THE AFGNS. WE'VE STAYEDHERE FOR THE BENEFIT OF ARICANS BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT FUTURE ATTACKS TO BE LAUNCHE FROM AFGHANISTAN OR FROM NEIGHBORING SOCIETIES, ALL OF WHOMOULD BEç RADICALIZED IF AFGHANISTAN PLUNGES BACK INTO DESPREAD CIVIL WAR.
>> Ifill: TH CONGREMAN SAID THE FOC SHOULD BE ON PAKISTAN IF T AFGHANIAN IF THAT'S THE GOAL.
>> I THINK?;ñ PAKISTAN DESERVESA GRTER FOCUS THAN WE'VE GIVEN IT. IT WAS NEGLECTED FORkO MANY YEAR I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATTHAT A OD DEAL MORE ASIEVEANCE AND A GOOD DEAL MORE EFFORT BE PUT INTO PAKISTAN. I DON'T THINK TH MEANS IGNORI AFGHANISTAN.z" THE TERRORISTS WILL GO BACK AND FORTH WHEREVERçm UNDER LEAST PRESSURE. THE LAST TNG WE WT TO DO IS SCCEED IN AFGHANISTAAND JUST HAVE TH ALLOME BACK OVER AND... RATHER SUCCEED IN PAKISTAN JUST TOÑi HE THEM A TAKE OVER AFGHANISTAN AGA.
>> Ill: CONGRESSMAN, ARE YOUç INDEED THE BA COPERE, YOU AND OTHERS WHO HAVE CRITICIZED HAMID KARZAI INCLUDING THE ENVOYS OF THEREGION AND EVEN
>> LOOK AT. I DON'T KNOW IF I'THE BAD COP. WHAT I'M TRYG TO DO IS CALLQ WHAT I SEE HERE IS THE UNITED STATES GETTING SKED INTO A SITUATION, INTO A WAR THAT HAS NOND. YOU KN, I HAVE REPEATEDLY CALL FOR AN EXITç WITH REGD TO OURILITARY. YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE IF YOU'RE GOING TO GTO WAR0Y HAVE A CLELY DEFIN SSION. I DON'T THK WE HAVE A CLEARLY DEFINED MISSION AFGHANISTAN. CLEARLY DEFINEDISSION IS A BEGINNING, A MIDD, A TRANSITION PERIOD AND AN END I'VE ASKo POINT DOES OUR MILITARY CONTRIBUTION TO THE SOLUTION IN AFGHANISTAN COME TO AN END WE COULD BRIN OU TROOPS HOME. I'M NOT LOOKING FOR A DATE SER. I ULD LIKE SOMNE TO TELL ME HOW THIS HAS A HAPPY ENDING. OUR MISSN IN AFGHANISTANIS VE DIFFERENT THAN IT WAS WHEN/+ CONGRESS AUTHORIZED THE USE OF FORCE AGAINST AL QAEDA AFTER 2001. WE HA... THIS WHOLE MISSION IS VERY, VY DIFFERENT. SHOULD HAVE A5 DEBATE ON THIS. I THINK THE POLICYHOULD BE RE-ELUATED IN ITS ENTIRE TEE.? MISTAKE TO EXPAND OUR MILITAR FOOTPRINT THERE. I THINK IT WOULD... AN ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERMATH OF THIS ELECTN. I DON'T WANT OUR ARICANS DYING FOR A GOVERNMENT THAT IS CORRUPT D INCOMPETT AND THATó STUFFS BALLOTOXES. >>fill: IS THE MISSION DIFFERT, MR. DOBBIN STHZ.
>> I THINK THE MISSION HAS ALWAYS BEEFROM TH MOMENT THAT THEç LIBAN WAS TOPPLED TO TRY T LEAVE BEHIND A GOVERNMENTó[Ñ CAPABLEF CONTROING ITS TERRITORY AND DENYINIT TO EXTREMISTS WHO WOULD PLOT AGAINST THE UNID STATES AND OTHER COUNTRIES O IMPORTANCE TO US. THAT HAS BEEN E MISSIONç FROM THE BEGINNG. THE MISSION WAS OSSLYç UNDERRESOURCED OVETHE EARLY YEARS. AND IT'S ONLY BEEN I THE LT YEAR OR TWO AT WE'VE DEVOTED THE KIND OF ATTENTION TO THIS MISSN THAT IT JUSTIFIES, GIVENç ITS IMPORTCE.
>> IfillWE'LL BEEVOTING MORE ATTENTI TO IT AS TI GOES ON. JAMESç DOINS, CONGRESSMA JIM McGOVERN, THANK YOUOTH VERY MUCH.
>> THANK YOU.
>> A PLEASURE.

KARADZIC TOLD E TRIBUNAL TODAY HE WL NO LONGER BOYCOTT THE PROCEEDING BUT HE AGAIN DEMANDED MORE TIME TO PREPAR HIS CASE.
>> T SITUATION IS SUCH THAT I WOULD REALLY BE A CRIMIN IF I WERE TO ACCEPTHESE CONDITIONS TO ENTER ARIAL AND PROCEEDINGS FOR WHICH I AM NOTREPARED. I CANNOT CHALLENGE ANYING THAT THE PROSECUTION IS GOI TO PUT FORWARD WITH SO MUCH MATERIAL UNLESS IM GIVEN MORE TIME. Lehrer: THE PROSECUTOR REJECTED THAT ARMENT.

GEOFEY BROWN HAS THAT STORY.
>> BrownNOT LONG AGO BANKRUPT AND POTENTIAL CATASTROPHE. TODAY AT LEAST ME SIGNSA REVERY. G.M. PTED ITS FIRST MONTH GAINN AUTOç SALES SCE THE G.M. POSTED ITS FIRST MONTY GAIN IN AUTO SALES TODAY SIN THE RECESSION BEGAN, UNEARLY 5% FROM A YEAR AGO. FORD REPORTED GAINS, TOOAND IT COMES ONE DAY AFTEIT ANNOUNCED AN UNEXPECTED PROFIT FOR T LAST QUARTERF $1 BILLION. WE LOOK CLOSER AT WHHER A TURNAROUND IS IN T MAKING WITH PAUL INGRASSIA, ANUTOMOTIVE JOURNALIST WSE BOOK "CRASH COSE," ABOUT THE BAILOUTS AND BANKRUPTCIES IN DETROIT, WILBE PUBLISHED BY RDOM HOUSE IN JANUY. AND LOUIS LATAIF, DEAN OF TH BOST UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT. HE IS ALSO A FORMER TOP EXECUTIVE AT FORD MOR COMPANY. LATE TODAYE SHOULD REPORT E ASSOCIATED PRESS SAIDíñI M. HAS DECIDED NOT TO SELL. PAUL INGRASSIA, I'LL START WITH YOU. I WANT TO START WITH FORD. IT THE MONTHLY SALES INS BUT ALSO THIS SURPRISE ABOok PROFITS. HOW SIGNIFICT IS THIS? AND WHAT ACCOUNTS FOR E GOOD PERFORMANCE?g'b
>> YOUNOW, 'S VERY SIIFICANT, JEFF. I INK THAT IT'S NOT ONLY PROFITS BUT ALSO MOR IMPORTANTLY FRANKLY IT POSITIVE CASH FLOW. A YEAR AGO THI QUARTER FORD HAD A NEGATE CASHURN OFçg $7.7 BILLI WHICH WAS FRIGHTENING. IS YEAR IN THE THD QUARTER THE POTIVE CASHLOW WAS $1.3 BILON. JUSTHE WEEK BEFORE CONSUMER RE( RATINGS ACSSçTS ENTIRE MOL LINEUP CPARABLE TO THOSE OF HON AND TOYOTA WHICH HAVE LONG BE THE INDUSTRY QUALITY LEADERS. LOTS OF GO NEWS AND ALSO SOME REALI JOLTS, IFOU WILL. THE COANY'S BOND RATINGçWAS RAISED BUT STILL 'S STILL DEEP ITHE JUNK BOND TERRITORY BUT IT'S A SADY IMPROVEMENT IN QUALITY AND EADY MANAGEMENT. FRANKLYAVING AVOIDING BANKRUPTCY IS PING DIVIDEn
>> Brown: JUSTO FILL IN THE PICTURE A LITTLE BIT MOR MR. LATAIF, AS Iç; RD'S REVENUES WERE ACTUALLY DOWN SO TH PROFITS ARE REALLY COMING FROM CUTTI COSTS I GUESS, FROM THE PLANTS AND LAY- OFFS? IS THAT IT? OR IS ITok MORE CAR SALES? HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN I
>> WELL, I TNK THE CAR SALESç DO CONTRIBUTE. BUT THE FINANCE PARTOF FO MOTOR COMPANYAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ESSENTIAL PART OF TIR SINESS MODEL. THE FINANCING ARM DIDDO WELL IN THIS QUARTER. THERS LOTS TO BE ENCOURED ABOUT. THE PRODUCTSsu ACCEPTABLE. THE COMPANY HAS DONE A GOOD JOB OF RESTRUCRING. IT IS NOT OVERSTATIN THEIR PROFITS BAUSE THEY DID MENTION THAT THem TO BE FULLY PROFITABLE O AN ANAL BASIS UNTIL PROBABLY A YEAR-AND-A-HALF FROM NOV> BUT THISS CERTAINLY ENCOAGING IN THE FACE OF ALL TH'S HAPPENED IN DETROIT IN THE LAST COUPLOF YEARS.
>> Brown: D STAYING WITH YOU. WHENOU DO LOOKT THE AUTO SALES, THEon SAW, IS IT... I MEANó[Ñ, HOW MUH CAN YOU LL ABOUT HOW MUCH IT IS IS BECAUSE THE ECONOMY OR SOMETHING TT THE MANUFACTURER ITSELF HAS DONE OR WTHER, OF COURSE, TH BIG QUESTION, WILL I SUSTAIN ITSELFç WHAT DO YOU LOOK AT TO KNOW?
>> I THINK THE ECONOMY I COMING BACK SLOWLYL/ui, QUITE SLOWLY. THE SALES RA OF VEHICLES BEFORE THE CRASHAS AT ABOUT 16 MILLION VEHICLES A YEAR. IT CRASHED DO TOk D THAT WAS PRETTY FRIGHTENING FOR ALOF US.ç NO ONE COULD HAVE ANTICIPATED THAT KIND OF A FALL-F IN DEMAND. NO BUSINES PLAN COULD EVER HAVE ANTICIPAT THAT. WELLBEFORE THEASH FORÑi CLUNKERS PROAM WAS RUNNING IN THE 9s, THE MID-9 RGEç ANNUALIZ. SH FOR CLUNKS DID A NICE JOB OF PUSHING IT UP TO ABOUT 12 MILON. IT'S NOW SELED DOWN TO 10,çwKr 10.5 WHICHS ENCOURANG. AT SUGGESTS THAT MORE BYERS ARE FINALLY COMING BACK INTOk THE MARKET. BUT 10.5 IS NOT AVERY EXCING LES RATE INN ABSOLUTE SENSE YOU LIKE TO SEE IT AT 12 13, 14 EVENTULY. SO THECONOMY+XuáILL HAS A WAYS TO GO. I DO THINK THE ECONOM IS ARTING TOó[Ñ BUBBL BACK UPND CONSUMS ARE BEGINNING SPEND AGN.
>> Brown: PL INGRASSIA, FILL IN THE PICTURE ALITTLE BIT MORE. THECONOMY TO G. AND CHRYER.ç BOTH OF THEM OUT OF BANKRUPTCY. BOTH MING FORWARD SUPPOSEDLY WITHç COMEBACKLANS. G.M. HADOOD NEWS IS MONTH. CHRYSLER NOT. AT'S GOING ON THERE? WELL, I THINK THIS REFLECTS AT'S HAPPENED ATACH COMPANY IN THE LAST FEW YEARS.W CHRYSLERPENT AN ABSOTELY DISASTRO DECADE OF OWNERSHIPí% UNDER FIRST OF THE GERMAN DAIMLER BZ ANDHEN UNDER A NEW YK PRIVATE HE CAN QUITY FIRM. SICALLY DURING THIS TIME, VERY LITE NEW PRODUCTS GOT DEVELOPEç. TH PRODUCT PIPELINE AT CHRYSLER ISIRTUALLY DRç GERAL MOTORS HAD SORT OF THE OPPOSITE PROBLEM IN A WAY. RATHER STUBBORNLY INSISTED ON CLINGING TOIGHT BRANDS. THE GOVERNMENT AS PART OF T BANKRUPT=) WKOUT LAST YEAR OR ERLIER THIS YEAR7 WHITTLE TH DOWN TO FOUR BRDS THAT WILL CONTINUE. I MEAN THERE'S STILL EIGHT FOR NOW T FOUR AREEING PHASED OUT OROLD. T IN THOSE CORE FOUR BRANDSon CHEVY, CADILLAC, GMC ANDç. THERE'S ONE MORE. IN THOSE FOUR BRANDS... BUICK, EXCUSE ME. IN THOSE FOUR BRANDS THERE ARE PRETTY GOODÑi PRODUC IN THERE. SO I THINK IT'S... G.M. HAS HAD MOkO OF A COR PRODUCT STNGTH THAN CHRYSLER GOING INTO THI CRIS.
>> Bwn: PAUL, WHENYOU THEN LOOK AT ALL THE, THE BIG THREE HERE, WHEN YOU SEE FORD DOING WELL, IS FO DOINGs AT THE EXPENSE OF THE OTRS? IS IT POSSIBLE THATTO THE EXéEOT THAT THERE IS A RECOVERY UNDERWAY, WE'RE GOING TO SEE IT AFFECTOMPANIES IN DIFFERENT WA?
>> WELL, ABSOLUTELY WE WILL. IN FACT WE'RE ALREADY SEEIN THAT. YES, FO÷ú IS DOIN WELL AT THE EXPENSE THE OTHER COMPANIES. IN PARTw TUALLY QUITE INTERESTING WHEN THE PRIDENT'SAUTO MOTIVE TK FORCE EARLIER THIS YEAR DEBED HOW TOAPPROACH DEALING WITH ANDçó PRHAPS SAVING THE U.S.,HOPEFULLY SAVING T U.S. INDUSTRY, THEY WERE SHARPLYç DIVIDED OVER WHETHER IT WAS WORTHHE EFFORT IN TERMS OF TAX PAYER DOLLARS TO SAV CHRYSLER. THE TASK FORCE WAS QUITE EVENLYPLIT ON THIS AND PRESIDENT OBAMA HIELFkuá CAST THE DEDING VOTE. ONE OF THE REASONSHATç THE TASK FORCE WAS EVENLY DIVIDED ON CHRLER WA THAT SE MEMBERS MAINTAINED THA G.M. AND FORD WULD HAVE A BETTE TIME O PROSPERG, A BETTER CHANCE OF PROSRING,0 IF CHRYSLER W TO GO OUT OF SINESS AND THE WHOLE FEE AT OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL CHRYSLER WAS SOROF A LONG SHOT TSAVE THEOMPANY ANYWAY. WE'LL SEE.
>> Bro: LOUIS LAIF, IN THE MEN TIME THERE A POTENTIAL RUGGLES, OF COURSE,8 HERE. ONE COULD BE WITH TE U.A.W., WHICH EVEN AS?uJ ABOUT NEW PROFITS, THE A.W. IS BALKI AT SOME OF THE POTEIAL CONTCT FOR THE NEXT CONTRACT PERIOD. EXPLAIN E ISSUES THERE.ç PARTICULARLY WHEN THE UION IS LOOKINAT THE COMPANY ANNOUNCING IT'SÑDOING WELL.
>> YES, IT IS COMPLICATED. I INK THE FORD MANAGEMENT WOULD LIKE TO HA THEIR CONTRACTS BE ONANEQUALFOTING THH CHRYSLER ANDENERAL MOTORS HAVE NEGIATED. SOç THAT'S, I THINK, SIMPL WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR THE U.A.W., SO THEY WOULD BE FULLY COMPETITE WITH THESE SORT OF GORNMENT-OWNED COMPANIES. THE U.A.W., THE OTHER HA,ç SEES THAT FO IS DOING BETTER ANDOULD RATHER NOT CONCEDE FURTHER BECAUSE lH ALADY MADE CONCESSIONS. IT'S TOUGH ISS. BUT I THINK IF IERE TO REPREST WHAT I THINK FORD# MANAGEMENT ITHINKING UNLESS THEY HAVE A COMPETITIVECOST BASIS, THE LG-TERMç SURVIVABILITOF THOSE JOBS MAY BE IN JEOPARDY. SO THEOK ISSUE NOT TO INJURE THE.A.W., BUT TO PRESERVE THE COMNY, ITS SURVABILITY AND TH JOBS LONG TERM. THAT'SHE DILEMMA TH'S ALWA IN THESE NEGOTIATIONS.
>> Brown: PAUL INGRASSIA, HOW DO YOU SEE THIS GOING FORWA?ç
>> WELL, I THINK IT'S A REALLY TOUGH ISSU I AN FRANKLY THERE RE THREE SERATE ISSUES THAT FORD WANTED FROM THE U.A.W., THE SEPARATE PROVIONS.ç AMENDMENTS BY WAY TO THE CUENT CONTRACT NOT THE NEXT CONTRA. TH WANTED TO FREEZE WAGES FO NEW-HIRES. THE COMPANY ALSO WANTED A NO- RIKE PROVISION UNTIL 2015. ANFINALLY IT WANTED A REDUCTION IN JOB CLASSIFICATIONS AND WORK RULES. TO BE HONEST, THE ONLY REALLY IMPORTANT ONWAS THE LAST GZ THE IS UNLIKELY TO BE A STRIKE IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY OVER THE NEXT FEWEARS BUT E JOB CLASSIFICATIONS AND WORK RES SICALLY SAY LL CAN'T TOUCHTHIS MACHINE BECAE THAT'S A JOB RESERVED FOR SUE OVER THERE AND ONLY SHE CAN?oi TOUCH THAT MACHINE. YOU KNOW, IF SHS NOT A READY, THIS HAS TO IT A HALF HR FOR HER TO G THERE SO THEi ASSELY CAN GET BACK IN MOTION. THE ARE ANTUATED RULES. ONEç MAN'S FEAER BEDDING IS ANOTHEMAN'S JOB, IF YOU WILL. THAT'S WHA FORD IS SORT O HAICAPPED HERE.
>> Brown: WE'RE TALKING MONTHS. WE'RE TALKING QUARTERS NOW.ñM/ WE'LLOOK AHEAD TO HOW ALL IS CONTINUES TO UNFOLD. PAUL INGRASSIA. LOUIS LATAIF, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> THA YOU, JEFF.
>> THANK YOU, FF.

DIANE HENRUES IS A SENIOR FINANCIAL WRITER AT TH"NEW YORK TIMES" WHO HAS EN COVERING THE STORY, ANSHE WAS BACK IN E COURTROOM THIS RNING. DIAN US AGAIN. FIRST OF ALL, TELL US WHO THIS MAN DAVID FRIEHLING I IS TT THE RIGHT PRONUNCIATION? AND TELL US HIS ROLE. >>HAT IS CORRECT.kO HIS ROLEAS TO ESSENTIALLY CREATE ORç RBER-STAMP THE FINANCIAL STATENTS THAT MADOFF FILED FOR DECADES WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSIONND OCCASIONALLY PROO INVESTORS. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE INPENDENT CERTIFIED ACCOTANT THAT WAS WHAT THE WORLD THOUGHT HE WAS. IN FACHE WASN'T INDENDENT ANHE WASN'T THOROUGHLY OR EVEN BARELYç CHECKING ANY OF THE FIGURETHAT MADOFF GAVEç HIM.

THEY HAD CRGED HIM WITH X CRIMINAL COUS LAST SPRING AND HE HAD BE NEGOTIATING WITH THEM THROUGHO THE SUMMER. LAST FRIDAY T PROSECUTORSç ANNOUND THAT THEY WERE ADDING A SINGLE OBSTRUCTN OF THEç TAXAWS COUNT TO THOSE CHARGES. WH HE SHOW UPN COURT TODAY, THERE RE ACTUALLY THREE OF THOS TAX-BASED OBSTRUCTION CHARGE SO CLEARLY SOMETHING HS HAPPENED RECENT THAT HAS MADE MR. FRIEHLING A VERY VALUABLE WNESS WIT TO TAX SUES. WEON'T KNOW YET WHATIT IS BUT IT WILL BE CERTAINLY INTERESTINTO FOLLOW. >>oodruff: THE JUDGE I GATH, THE JUDGEECIDED TODAY HE IS NOT A FGHT RISK. HE DID LET HIM GO HOME?

HE ALMOST LECTED THE INECTOR GENERAL ABOUT THE RIGHT WAY TO INVESTIGATEç A NZI SCHEME. HERE'S H YOU SHOULD GO ABOU IT I YOU REALLYANTED TO CATCH ME. BUT HE DID SAY ACTLLY IN MORE SERIOUS MOMENTS TT IT HAD BEEN Aç NIGHTMARE EVERY TIME EXAMINERS SHOED UP AT HISç FIRM BECAUSE HE FELT LIKE HE WAS ON A KNIFE ED. ON TWO OCCASIONS WHICH ARE DETAED THERE HE THOUGHT FOR CAUGHT. THE OBVIOUS XT STEP÷ú THAT INVESTIGATORS WOD TAKE, AS FAR AS HE WA CONCERNED WOULDç CLEARL SHOW THAT H WAS A FRAUD.
