TITLE 
XVII—COMMITTEE 
ON 
FOREIGN 
INVESTMENT 
IN 
THE UNITED STATES 
SEC. 1701. SHORT TITLE. 
This title may be cited as the ‘‘Foreign Investment 
Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018’’. 
SEC. 1702. SENSE OF CONGRESS. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—It is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) foreign investment provides substantial eco-
nomic benefits to the United States, including the 
promotion of economic growth, productivity, competi-
tiveness, and job creation, and the majority of foreign 
investment transactions pose little or no risk to the 
national security of the United States, especially 
when those investments are truly passive in nature; 
(2) maintaining the commitment of the United 
States to open and fair investment policy also encour-
ages other countries to reciprocate and helps open new 
foreign markets for United States businesses and their 
products; 
(3) it should continue to be the policy of the 
United States to enthusiastically welcome and sup-
port foreign investment, consistent with the protection 
of national security;
816 
† HR 5515 PAP
(4) at the same time, the national security land-
scape has shifted in recent years, and so has the na-
ture of the investments that pose the greatest potential 
risk to national security, which warrants a mod-
ernization of the processes and authorities of the Com-
mittee on Foreign Investment in the United States 
and of the United States export control system; 
(5) the Committee on Foreign Investment in the 
United States plays a critical role in protecting the 
national security of the United States, and, therefore, 
it is essential that the member agencies of the Com-
mittee are adequately resourced and able to hire ap-
propriately qualified individuals in a timely manner, 
and that those individuals’ security clearances are 
processed as a high priority; 
(6) the President should conduct a more robust 
international outreach effort to urge and help allies 
and partners of the United States to establish proc-
esses that parallel the Committee on Foreign Invest-
ment in the United States to screen foreign invest-
ments for national security risks and to facilitate co-
ordination; 
(7) the President should lead a collaborative ef-
fort with allies and partners of the United States to 
strengthen the multilateral export control regime to
817 
† HR 5515 PAP
more effectively address the unprecedented industrial 
policies of certain countries of special concern, includ-
ing aggressive efforts to acquire United States tech-
nology, and the blending of civil and military pro-
grams; 
(8) any penalties imposed by the United States 
Government with respect to an individual or entity 
pursuant to a determination that the individual or 
entity has violated sanctions imposed by the United 
States or the export control laws of the United States 
should not be reversed for reasons unrelated to the na-
tional security of the United States; and 
(9) the Committee on Foreign Investment in the 
United States should continue to review transactions 
for the purpose of protecting national security and 
should not consider issues of national interest absent 
a national security nexus. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS ON CONSIDERATION OF COV-
ERED TRANSACTIONS.—It is the sense of Congress that, 
when considering national security risks, the Committee on 
Foreign Investment in the United States may consider— 
(1) whether a transaction involves a country of 
special concern that has a demonstrated or declared 
strategic goal of acquiring a type of critical tech-
nology or critical infrastructure that would affect
