agreed to be our autos industry interlocutor and become involved in helping formulate a real plan going forward.  I told him he would be able to do most of this from NY.  Will try to set up meeting between him and industry (and UAW) later in the week.  I'm participating in Granholm call at 5 and will tell them about Josh.  Jennifer told me that they'll want to know whether Obama will raise issue of immediate assistance with Bush tomorrow.  What's right response on that point -- reiterate our view on need to disburse 25 bn and look to other authorities, indicate that I would expect the auto industry would be part of the conversation, but then if pressed say that of course I don't know exactly what he'll say?
