Congress will return in December to work on legislation to help the nation’s ailing auto manufacturers, Democratic leadership sources said Thursday afternoon.

No date has been confirmed, but it is expected Congress will return the week of Dec. 8.

Democratic leaders rejected compromise legislation worked out by key senators from auto states, the sources said.

“It's a non-starter,” said a senior Democratic aide. “There is no deal.”

The aide said Congress will hold hearings during the week of Dec. 1 on written plans submitted by the auto manufacturers, and then Congress will return the week of Dec. 8.
