One of several tax cuts passed by Congress this summer -- a repeal of the tax on estates -- was formally dispatched from Capitol Hill to the White House today -- but not by the usual means. The document made its way down Pennsylvania Avenue on board the tractor of Lynn Cornwell, a cattle rancher from Montana.

NPR's Brian Naylor reports.

NPR's Don Gonyea reports that executives from both Ford and Bridgestone/Firestone faced harsh questioning on Capitol Hill today. Members of Congress wanted to know why the companies were slow to warn the public about a growing problem with defective tires and why they didn't inform the U.S. government about an overseas recall. U.S. safety regulators were also criticized for not catching the problem earlier. The defective tires are now blamed for 88 deaths and hundred of injuries in the U.S.

NPR's Don Gonyea reports committee members from both the House and Senate questioned Bridgestone-Firestone and Ford Motor Company executives on Capitol Hill yesterday about the recall of more than 6 and a half million tires.

Many members of Congress were eager to attack the industry's tactics. But they were just as careful to point out that they do not want to violate the First Amendment. NPR's Larry Abramson reports.
