1、奧巴馬就通用汽車公司重組一事英語演講稿Remarks by the President n General Mtrs RestructuringGrand FyerJune 1, 2019年Just ver tw mnths ag, I spke with yu in this same spt abut the challenges facing ur aut industry, and I laid ut what needed t be dne t save tw f Americas mst stried autmakers General Mtrs and Chrysler. The

2、se cmpanies were facing a crisis decades in the making, and having relied n lans frm the previus administratin, were asking fr mre。Frm the beginning, I made it clear that I wuld nt put any mre ta dllars n the line if it meant perpetuating the bad business decisins that had led these cmpanies t seek

3、help in the first place. I refused t let these cmpanies becme permanent wards f the state, kept aflat n an endless supply f tapayer mney. In ther wrds, I refused t kick the can dwn the rad。But I als recgnized the imprtance f a viable aut industry t the well-being f families and cmmunities acrss ur i

In the midst f a deep recessin and financial crisis, the cllapse f these cmpanies wuld have been devastating fr cuntless Americans, and dne enrmus damage t ur ecnmy beynd the aut industry. It was als clear that if GM and Chrysler remade and retled thems

5、elves fr the 21st century, it wuld be gd fr American wrkers, gd fr American manufacturing, and gd fr Americas ecnmy。I decided, then, that if GM and Chrysler and their stakehlders were willing t sacrifice fr their cmpanies survival and success; if they were willing t take the difficult, but necessary

6、 steps t restructure, and make themselves strnger, leaner, and mre cmpetitive, then the United States gvernment wuld stand behind them。The riginal restructuring plans submitted by GM and Chrysler earlier this year did nt call fr the sweeping changes these cmpanies needed t survive and I culdnt in gd

7、 cnscience prceed n that basis. S we gave them a chance t develp a strnger plan that wuld put them n a path tward lng-term viability. The 60 days GM had t submit its revised plans have nw elapsed, and I want t say a few wrds abut where we are and what steps will be taken ging frward. But befre I d,

8、I want t give yu an update n where things stand with Chrysler。When my administratin tk ffice and began ging ver Chryslers bks, the future f this great American car cmpany was uncertain. In fact, it was nt clear whether it had any future at all. But after cnsulting with my Aut Task Frce, industry epe

9、rts, and financial advisrs, and after asking many tugh questins,nvinced that if Chrysler were willing t underg a restructuring and if it were able t frm a partnership with a viable glbal car cmpany, then Chrysler culd get a new lease n life。Well, that mre prmising scenari has nw cme t pass. Tday, af

10、ter taking a number f painful steps, and mving thrugh a quick, efficient, and fair bankruptcy prcess, a new, strnger Chrysler is pised t cmplete its alliance with Fiat. Just 31 days after Chryslers Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, a curt has apprved the Chrysler-Fiat alliance, paving the way fr a new C

11、hrysler t emerge frm bankruptcy in the net few days。What happens net is in the hands f their eecutives, managers, and wrkers as it is fr any private cmpany. But what the cmpletin f this alliance means is that tens f thusands f jbs that wuld have been lst if Chrysler had liquidated will nw be saved,

12、and that cnsumers have n reasn at all t wrry abut a restructuring even ne as painful as what Chrysler underwent。And keep in mind many eperts said that a quick, surgical bankruptcy was impssible. They were wrng. thers predicted that Chryslers decisin t enter bankruptcy wuld lead t an immediate cllaps

13、e in cnsumer cnfidence that wuld send car sales ver a cliff. They were wrng, as well. In fact, Chrysler sld mre cars in May than it did in April, in part because cnsumers were cmfrted by ur etrardinary cmmitment t stand behind a quick bankruptcy prcess. All in all, its a dramatic an utcme dramatical

14、ly better than what appeared likely when this prcess began。美國總統(tǒng)就通用汽車公司重組一事發(fā)表演講大會堂前廳某年某月某日就在兩個多月前，就在此處，我與諸位探討了美國汽車業(yè)所面臨的挑戰(zhàn)，我列出了拯救美國兩大著名汽車制造商通用汽車公司和克萊斯勒公司所應采取的措施。這兩家公司面臨著過去幾十年中孕育已久的危機，他們依賴往屆政府的貸款，現在又要求政府提供更多幫助。從一開始我就明確表示，我將不會投入更多的稅收，否則就意味著將失敗的經營決策繼續(xù)下去，而這種經營決策已經導致上述兩家公司首先提出援助要求。我不會任憑這些公司成為國家永久的負擔，靠納稅人的源

15、源不斷提供血汗錢而生存。換言之，我不會再采用權宜之計了。但我也承認，在以工業(yè)為主的中西部地區(qū)乃至全美，一個能獨立生存的汽車企業(yè)關乎家庭及社會的福祉。在經濟嚴重衰退和金融危機時期，這些公司的倒閉對無數美國人來說無疑是一種災難，會對全國經濟造成巨大影響且遠不止是汽車工業(yè)。如果通用汽車公司和克萊斯勒公司能在21世紀自行重組再造，毫無疑問，這將有益于美國的工人、制造業(yè)以及美國的整體經濟。因此，我決定，如果通用汽車公司和克萊斯勒公司及其利益相關者愿意為公司的生存和成功作出犧牲，愿意直面困難，通過采取必要的重組措施使公司變得更為強大、精悍、更富競爭力，那么，美國政府就會支持它們。今年初，通用汽車公司和克萊

16、斯勒公司最初提交的重組計劃中并未提出企業(yè)生存必需的全面改革計劃，因此我不能愧對良心在這種條件下給予支持，我給了它們一個機會制定一項更強有力的計劃，并走上長期保持生存能力的道路。然而，通用汽車公司提交修改計劃的60天期限已經過去，我要對我們的現狀和未來采取的措施發(fā)表看法。但是在這之前，我想講一下克萊斯勒的最新進展。本屆政府執(zhí)政后就開始徹查克萊斯勒的賬目，發(fā)現這個美國汽車業(yè)的巨頭前途未卜。事實上，它是否還有前途都不得而知。但是經過咨詢白宮汽車行動小組、行業(yè)專家和財政顧問，并就諸多難題進行探討后，我開始相信如果克萊斯勒愿意重組，能與一家具備生存能力的全球化汽車企業(yè)建立伙伴關系，那么它將會重獲新生。更多充滿希望的劇情正在上演。今天，在經歷了一系列痛苦的環(huán)節(jié)以及快速、高效和公平的破產程序后，一個全新且更具實力的克萊斯勒完成了與菲亞特的結盟。僅在克萊斯勒依據破產法第11章規(guī)定申請破產的31天后，法院批準了克萊斯勒-菲亞特的結盟，為克萊斯勒在未來幾年中重塑自我并從破產中崛起鋪平了道路。接下來，公司的命運就掌控在公司的高層、經理
