Yesterday a bill was inserted into that spending bill that makes it so ALL ports are operated by US firms...is that bill going to remain there or are they going to take it out now??

1. This worth watching.
I trust nothing anymore.

2. It should most definitely continue forward. The issue was no
longer about the DPW specifically, but, about not allowing foreign ownership of sensitive properties in the U.S. and to allow the Congress to have the final say in the deals.

For that reason, Warner should never have read the letter from DPW. They were in a Senate session, working on legislation to regulate our ports. The DPW was not a partner in that legislation. That was a disgrace that they were allowed to alter the business of the Senate.

3. I hope it stays in.
You are correct that Dubai's "participation" in the Senate was a disgrace.
