Industry committee  I agree with Mr. Krane's comments. I would add that for this particular legislation, one thing that stands out is the mandatory pre-closing filing obligation. While I think it's important that the process still focuses on national security elements, one thing that will likely evolve out of it is a greater level of discussion between foreign investors and government officials in a wide range of areas.
