DescriptionNEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The White House is reviewing a congressional proposal to give troubled U.S. automakers a financial lifeline.

The companies could get a total of $15 billion in federal loans as soon as Dec. 15, according to a working Democratic draft of proposed legislation and a senior Democratic congressional aide.

The proposal, which was delivered to the White House Monday afternoon, remains a work in progress. The bailout was worked on through the weekend on Capitol Hill in an effort to produce a bill that the Bush administration could agree to.

The aim is to finalize a bill for a quick vote by Congress, which is meeting this week in lame-duck session.
