SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) foreign investment provides substantial economic 
        benefits to the United States, including the promotion of 
        economic growth, productivity, competitiveness, 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 encourages 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 support foreign 
        investment, consistent with the protection of national 
        security;
            (4) at the same time, the national security landscape has 
        shifted in recent years, and so have the nature of the 
        investments that pose the greatest potential risk to national 
        security, which warrants a modernization of the processes and 
        authorities of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the 
        United States;
            (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 Committee are adequately 
        resourced and able to hire appropriately 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 processes that 
        parallel the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United 
        States to screen foreign investments for national security 
        risks and to facilitate coordination; and
            (7) the President should lead a collaborative effort with 
        allies and partners of the United States to develop a new, 
        stronger multilateral export control regime, aimed to address 
        the unprecedented industrial policies of certain countries of 
        special concern, including aggressive efforts to acquire United 
        States technology, and the blending of civil and military 
        programs.
