U.S. House Armed Services Committee chair Duncan Hunter [3] will introduce legislation "to prevent foreign companies from controlling facilities determined to be critical to U.S. national security." If passed, the bill would nix the Dubai Ports World [4] deal to manage major U.S. ports. Meanwhile, DP World received advice from former President Clinton [5], who "talked with leaders of the company about a public relations strategy to rescue the deal," reports the LA Times. Clinton suggested that DP World support a "'cooling off period' to allow for a full investigation of the transaction," according to [6] O'Dwyers -- which they did [7]. Clinton also "suggested they hire his former spokesman, Joe Lockhart [8], to assist in their public relations campaign. Lockhart decided against doing so." Clinton's assistance "proved awkward" for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton [9], who "has strongly opposed" the DP World deal, in part because it affects New York facilities.
