JOINT RESOLUTION 
Disapproving the results of the review conducted by the 
Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States 
(CFIUS) into the purchase of Peninsular and Oriental 
Steam Navigation (P&O) by Dubai Ports World (DP 
World). 
Whereas on February 13, 2006, the shareholders of the Lon-
don-based Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation (re-
ferred to in this resolution as ‘‘P&O’’) approved the ac-
quisition of P&O by Dubai Ports World (referred to in 
this resolution as ‘‘DP World’’) for $6,800,000,000;
•HJ 79 IH 
Whereas the transaction transfers P&O North America oper-
ations at 21 United States ports, including leasing agree-
ments for terminal operations in New York, Newark, 
Baltimore, New Orleans, Miami, and Philadelphia; 
Whereas ensuring the security of United States port oper-
ations is critical to our Nation’s economic vitality and to 
national security; 
Whereas DP World is owned by the Government of Dubai, 
part of the United Arab Emirates; 
Whereas the United Arab Emirates, while our ally in the war 
on terrorism, has been used as a base for terrorist oper-
ations and financing, including in the planning of the at-
tacks of September 11, 2001; 
Whereas the 12 member Committee on Foreign Investment 
in the United States (referred to in this resolution as 
‘‘CFIUS’’) conducted a review of the transaction within 
30 days of formal notification and declined to open an in-
vestigation, issuing a statement of no objection to the 
sale on January 17, 2006; and 
Whereas Congress was not informed of or consulted with re-
garding this transaction and any potential national secu-
rity implications; Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
That Congress— 
(1) disapproves the CFIUS review of the trans-
action referred to in this resolution; 
(2) directs CFIUS to withdraw its statement of 
no objection related to the transaction referred to in
•HJ 79 IH 
this resolution and to conduct a 45-day investiga-
tion, pursuant to section 721 of the Defense Produc-
tion Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C. App. 2170) in order to 
ensure that the sale described in this resolution will 
not have an adverse effect on national security; and 
(3) directs CFIUS to brief Members of Con-
gress on the findings of its investigation before the 
transaction is allowed to proceed.

PART 1—GLOBAL CHANGE RESEARCH 
SEC. 4611. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following 
findings: 
(1) Industrial, agricultural, and other human 
activities, coupled with an expanding world popu-
lation, are contributing to processes of global change 
that are significantly altering the Earth habitat. 
(2) Such human-induced changes, in conjunc-
tion with natural fluctuations, may lead to signifi-
cant alterations of world climate patterns. Over the 
next century, these changes could adversely affect 
world agricultural and marine production, coastal 
habitability, biological diversity, human health, glob-
al social and political stability, and global economic 
activity. 
(3) Developments in interdisciplinary Earth 
sciences, global observing systems, and satellite and 
computing technologies make possible significant sci-
entific understanding of global changes and their ef-
fects, and have resulted in the significant expansion 
of environmental data and information. 
(4) Development of effective policies to prevent, 
mitigate, and adapt to global change will rely on im-
provement in scientific understanding of global envi-
ronmental processes and on development of informa-

tion that is of use to decisionmakers at the local, re-
gional, and national levels. 
(5) Although the United States Global Change 
Research Program has made significant contribu-
tions to understanding Earth’s climate and the an-
thropogenic influences on Earth’s climate and its 
ecosystems, the Program now needs to produce more 
information to meet the expressed needs of decision-
makers. 
(6) Predictions of future climate conditions for 
specific regions have considerable uncertainty and 
are unlikely to be confirmed in a time period nec-
essary to inform decisions on land, water, and re-
source management. However, improved under-
standing of global change should be used to assist 
decisionmakers in the development of policies to en-
sure that ecological, social, and economic systems 
are resilient under a variety of plausible climate fu-
tures. 
(7) In order to most effectively meet the needs 
of decisionmakers, both the research agenda of the 
United States Global Change Research Program and 
its implementation must be informed by continuous 
feedback from documented users of information gen-
erated by the Program.
