March 10th, 2006 - - House Appropriations Committee Chairman Jerry Lewis issued the following statement on the reports that Dubai Ports World has agreed to sell its U.S. holdings.
“My amendment was narrowly designed to address the widespread, national security concerns about the possibility of a foreign-owned company having direct involvement in the management of U.S. ports. Reports that Dubai Ports World has agreed to sell its holdings of a subsidiary involved in managing six American ports is encouraging news. Our goal is to make sure that the security of our ports is in America's hands and I look forward to learning more about this recent development,” said House Appropriations Chairman Jerry Lewis.
