KAGEN URGES PRESIDENT TO EXAMINE FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF U.S. ASSETS AND INDUSTRIES

March 29, 2008

(APPLETON, WI) -- Congressman Steve Kagen, M.D. today called upon President Bush to form a bipartisan U.S. Competition Commission to evaluate the implications of foreign ownership of our assets and industries.

In a letter to the President, Kagen said, “In my view, foreign states - and distant corporations - should not be allowed to control our economy, and they must not be permitted to determine or control the quality of the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we grow, the size and strength of our military, or the health of our environment and our people.”

Congressman Kagen has consistently advocated for a competition commission to examine current trade and competition rules.
