President Barack Obama and Democratic lawmakers reached agreement on Tuesday on proposed "cash-for-clunkers" legislation as part of a broader effort to fight climate change, lawmakers said.
Members of the Democratic-controlled Congress announced the accord after a White House meeting with Obama. Rep. John Dingell, a Michigan Democrat who attended the meeting, and other lawmakers from automaking states want the climate change bill to include a provision encouraging owners of less fuel-efficient cars to trade them in for cars that use less gasoline.
