The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS): A Historical Overview
The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) was established in 1975 under Executive Order 11858 by President Gerald Ford. Initially tasked with monitoring and analyzing the effects of foreign investment in the U.S., CFIUS’s role has since evolved significantly, particularly with the rise of concerns over national security.
Early Years and Expansion of Powers
In its early years, CFIUS primarily focused on providing data and reports about international investments. However, by the 1980s, congressional concerns about foreign acquisitions of key American industries prompted an expansion of its authority. This culminated in the passage of the Exon-Florio provision in 1988, granting the President the authority to block foreign acquisitions that threatened national security, provided there was no other legal framework to address the threat. The law was first invoked during a wave of Japanese acquisitions in high-tech and defense-related industries【195†source】【196†source】.
Key Milestones
Exon-Florio Provision (1988): Allowed CFIUS to investigate foreign mergers, acquisitions, or takeovers that posed national security risks.
Foreign Investment and National Security Act (FINSA) of 2007: Strengthened CFIUS’s framework, requiring more thorough investigations and clear timelines for reviews.
Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA) of 2018: Expanded CFIUS jurisdiction to include non-controlling investments in critical technologies and infrastructure.
Controversial Cases
CFIUS has been involved in several high-profile cases, including:
The 2006 acquisition of port operations by Dubai Ports World, which raised national security concerns and resulted in public outcry.
Recent scrutiny over Chinese investments in U.S. technology and real estate sectors under FIRRMA, aimed at protecting critical industries.
Current Operations
CFIUS is an interagency committee led by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and includes representatives from key federal departments such as Defense, Homeland Security, and Commerce. Its reviews focus on identifying and mitigating risks posed by foreign investments in sectors critical to national security, including defense, technology, and infrastructure【195†source】【196†source】.
A Continuing Debate
CFIUS’s increasing scope has sparked debates about balancing economic openness with national security. Critics argue that overly stringent reviews might deter beneficial foreign investments, while proponents emphasize the importance of safeguarding against espionage and dependency on foreign entities for critical resources.
