Obama to Allow California to Set Auto Emissions Standards
---------------------------------------------------------



In another break from the Bush administration, President Obama is
expected to direct federal regulators today to allow California and
thirteen other states to set strict automobile emissions and fuel
efficiency standards. Obama will also order the Department of
Transportation to draft new automobile fuel economy regulations and for
federal agencies to make all government buildings more energy efficient.
