Recent events surrounding the proposed acquisitions of U.S. assets by foreign investors have brought into focus the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) and the Exon-Florio provisions of the Defense Production Act, which allow the executive branch to halt the acquisition by foreign firms of U.S. operations that infringe upon national security. A number of legislative changes to the CFIUS process are now being discussed by Congress.

A distinguished panel will discuss the CFIUS process and concerns relating to national security and the role of foreign investment in the United States.  Tom Donnelly is a member of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, Clark Ervin was the first Inspector General at the Department of Homeland Security, Kristin Forbes represented the White House Council of Economic Advisors in CFIUS, and David Marchick is an advisor to CFIUS participants and co-author of the forthcoming book: U.S. National Security and Foreign Direct Investment.
