From the Paper:

"The oil industry is continuing to become largely an international venture, with consolidations of domestic United States operations creating attractive assets for foreign purchase. The recent attempt by the Chinese national oil company to purchase UNOCAL corporation and the Dubai World ports purchase of the company the operated many U.S. ports brought to light a half century old congressional act protecting vital domestic infrastructure. The Defense Production Act of 1950 empowered the President to block the purchase of U.S. companies by foreign corporations if national security is threatened (James & Wall, 2007, n.p.)."
