Coast Guard
September 17, 2024

WASHINGTON D.C. — Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party and Congressman Greg Murphy M.D. (R-NC) sent sent a letter urging United States Secretary of the Treasury, Janet Yellen to include U.S. Coast Guard facilities and other sensitive sites under the jurisdiction of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). The letter also asks the Secretary to hold CFIUS reviews retroactively when a site is newly added to CFIUS’s list of sensitive sites. As our adversaries encroach on U.S. territory and Chinese Communist Party-affiliated land purchases increase across the United States, the lawmakers stress the importance of protecting Coast Guard bases just as we protect military bases in the CFIUS process.
