This book was released on 1998 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For prime contracts, DOD purchases the majority of its defense equipment and services from contractors operating in the United States. Though subject to annual fluctuations, DOD'S prime contract awards outside the United States remained about 5.5 percent of total DOD contract awards from fiscal year 1987 to 1997. Over this period, the value of DOD prime contracts performed both in and out of the United States declined. Prime contracts performed outside the United States tended to be concentrated in certain countries such as Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom and in certain sectors such as services, fuel, and construction. At the subcontract level, the value of DOD's reported foreign subcontract awards ranged from almost $2 billion in fiscal year 1990 to almost $1.1 billion in fiscal year 1997, but this data has its limitations. The Office of Foreign Contracting does not consider the data needs of industrial base specialists in its efforts to collect foreign subcontract data. Industrial base specialists are often unaware that data of this nature are available. Furthermore, weaknesses in the Office of Foreign Contracting's data collection and management processes undermine DOD'S ability to use the foreign subcontract data for defense trade and industrial base decision-making. The office has no mechanism for ensuring that contractors provide required foreign subcontract information, which contributes to the underrepresentation of foreign subcontract activity. Our review of selected subcontracts disclosed instances in which foreign sub contracts were not reported to the office because contractors were unaware of the reporting requirement or misunderstood the criteria for reporting a foreign subcontract. The office's poor database management also compromises the credibility and usefulness of its foreign subcontract data.

This book was released on 2016-08-12 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) is comprised of nine members, two ex officio members, and other members as appointed by the President representing major departments and agencies within the federal executive branch. While the group generally has operated in relative obscurity, the proposed acquisition of commercial operations at six U.S. ports by Dubai Ports World in 2006 placed the group's operations under intense scrutiny by Members of Congress and the public. Prompted by this case, some Members of the 109th and 110th Congresses questioned the ability of Congress to exercise its oversight responsibilities given the general view that CFIUS's operations lack transparency. Other Members revisited concerns about the linkage between national security and the role of foreign investment in the U.S. economy. Some Members of Congress and others argued that the nation's security and economic concerns have changed since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and that these concerns were not being reflected sufficiently in the Committee's deliberations. In addition, anecdotal evidence seemed to indicate that the CFIUS process was not market neutral. Instead, a CFIUS investigation of an investment transaction may have been perceived by some firms and by some in the financial markets as a negative factor that added to uncertainty and may have spurred firms to engage in behavior that may not have been optimal for the economy as a whole. On July 12, 2016, Senator Charles Grassley introduced S. 3161 to include the Secretary of Agriculture as a permanent member of the CFIUS and to include the national security impact of foreign investments on agricultural assets as part of the criteria the Committee uses in deciding to recommend that the President block a foreign acquisition.
