[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."
