...thought it was an ineffective way to lower prices. But as oil prices continued to climb, the Vice President's policy team became deeply involved in a months-long White House debate about tapping the reserve. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers opposed the release in a much publicized Sept. 13 memo, but a week before he wrote it, sources tell TIME, Clinton was already telling Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah that he was strongly considering tapping the reserve. They met in a suite at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City during the U.N. Millennium Summit. Clinton's "objective...
There is mounting evidence that it may. According to an internal Ford memo in the hands of congressional investigators, the company concluded after looking into accidents in Venezuela that "the high incidence [of] vehicle rollover after a tire blowout or tread loss has not been detected for other vehicle brands," such as Toyota, GM or Chrysler.

Wilderness tires in Saudi Arabia because the two companies might then have to notify the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the U.S. of their action. A few months later, after Firestone continued to maintain that there was no problem with the tires, Ford unilaterally initiated a quiet replacement campaign in the Middle East, without alerting anyone. The testimony also confirmed that Firestone may well have delayed the recall a month by insisting that Ford sign...
