FORD REVIEWING STRATEGY FOR FINANCE UNITS
DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 12 -- Ford Motor Company will file a
Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange
Commission stating that the Company is reviewing possible
strategic actions with respect to its Financial Services Group.
Such actions could include the partial or complete sale of USL
Capital and the partial sale of The Associates, the non-
automotive financing businesses in the Financial Services Group.
"It is premature to determine whether any actions will occur
or, if they do, when they would occur," said Ken Whipple,
president, Ford Financial Services Group. "We are carefully
considering what is best for Ford Motor Company and its
shareholders."
The non-automotive financing businesses of Ford's Financial
Services Group consist principally of the domestic and
international activities of The Associates, which specializes in
consumer and commercial finance, and USL Capital, which
specializes in commercial leasing and financing.
