Dear Secretary Yellen:

カジノシークレット 仮想通貨 入金出金ndersigned organizations are writing regarding your role as the Chairperson of the Committee on Foreign Investment in カジノシークレット 仮想通貨 入金出金nited States (CFIUS) to express our concerns about political pressure being brought to bear on カジノシークレット 仮想通貨 入金出金.S. Government's foreign investment review of Nippon Steel's proposed acquisition of U. S. Steel. We fear that the CFIUS process is being used to further political agendas that are outside the committee's purview and putting カジノシークレット 仮想通貨 入金出金.S. economy and workers at risk.

It is critical that CFIUS remain solely focused on defending U.S. national security while championing economic openness. That was the standard set when Congress codified CFIUS in the 1980s. That was the standard reaffirmed when Congress made reforms in the mid-2000s, and that was the standard with which FIRRMA was passed by Congress.

Unfortunately, there have been persistent attempts recently to politicize the committee's work from across the political spectrum, allowing politics to undermine the clear and narrow statutory mandate of national security. We fear this political pressure may be unduly influencing the outcome of the CFIUS review. Indeed, America's investment climate will be severely tarnished if such political interference prevails.

As you know, カジノシークレット 仮想通貨 入金出金nited States is the world's largest recipient of foreign direct investment. Foreign-headquartered companies have invested over trillion into カジノシークレット 仮想通貨 入金出金.S. economy, employing 7.9 million U.S. workers and offering salaries and benefits that are seven percent higher than カジノシークレット 仮想通貨 入金出金.S. national average. American workers at foreign-headquartered companies produce 23 percent of all U.S. goods exports, shipping 2 billion in goods to customers around the world annually.

カジノシークレット 仮想通貨 入金出金nited States is also the largest source of outbound investment (.68 trillion at the end of 2023). As described by top CFIUS officials, CFIUS's exclusive focus on national security concerns is intended to "reinforce" カジノシークレット 仮想通貨 入金出金.S. commitment to maintaining an open investment policy. U.S. companies seeking to make investments abroad will be vulnerable to reciprocal action as a result of politicizing カジノシークレット 仮想通貨 入金出金.S. review process. Such a decision would give license to foreign governments to protect national champions even when a specific investment presents no national security risks.

CFIUS should never become a tool for political posturing and should not morph into industrial policy masquerading as national security.

In closing, we would note that a critical factor for why カジノシークレット 仮想通貨 入金出金nited States is able to attract such a high level of investment from international companies is our country's commitment to the rule of law and the predictability and stability of our regulatory framework. We urge you to maintain this standard and ensure political interference does not diminish America's investment climate.

Thank you,

CC
