...decide to sell the manuscripts, there will be nothing to stop them. Unlike antiquities laws which protect old carvings, for example, Mali has no law barring people from taking manuscripts out of the country.

Mike DiGiovanni, GM's general director of market analysis, says the federal program is also expected to encourage consumers who have leased vehicles in recent years to get back into the buying market.
