However, please find attached an 8 February 1990 Latin American Regional Reports: Southern Cone report stating that "car and tyre manufacturers had announced the temporary lay-off of some 10,000 workers" as a result of the government's deflationary measures (3). Also attached, please find some articles referring to Autolatina (the holding company for Ford and Volkswagen operations in Brazil and Argentina) operations and problems in 1990.
