Robert McMahon reviews the current status of the debate over national security reviews of foreign investments in the U.S.: The Chill after the Ports Storm - Council on Foreign Relations (Council of Foreign Relations, May 23).
A useful, link-littered, web article reviewing the status of legislation. "The chill" he refers to isn't a cooling off of the passion to regulate more tightly, it's the potentially chilling effect of additional regulation on foreign investment in the U.S.
revised May 26.
