If Congress determines that time permits, it may be

appropriate to review the findings of the Commerce and

Treasury prior to the enactment of any screening legislation in this area.

That concludes my prepared remarks.

Messrs. Levenson,

Bodolus and I would be happy to respond to any questions you

may have.

Mr. REES. IS S. 1303 by Senator Inouye the same as S. 425?

Mr. Rowe. I don't know. There have been a number of bills relating to foreign investments introduced. They generally have some similarities.

I would also like to submit for the record the January 16, 1975, report of this Commission entitled "Report of Foreign Ownership" which was submitted in response to the interagency review of current Federal Government reporting requirements with respect to foreign investment in the United States. This report summarizes the present reporting requirements of ownership under the Federal securities laws and the Commission's rules thereunder.
