This warning was transmitted in not one but two letters from Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-AL) and Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) on August 3, 1999 and November 8, 1999.
Representatives Spencer Bachus (R-AL) and Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) have introduced legislation (HR 2204) entitled the "US Market Security Act of 1999" which would merely require that the names of foreign government-affiliated companies be provided quarterly to relevant Congressional committees.
