In Episode 15 of "Are We All Clear? Facilitating Security Clearances," host Molly O'Casey and members of Holland & Knight's International Trade Group discuss the complexities of Foreign Ownership, Control or Influence (FOCI) and its implications for security clearances in government contracting. They explain how foreign entities can influence cleared companies, impacting classified contracts, and detail the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency's (DCSA) role in overseeing FOCI assessments through the SF-328 form. Mitigation strategies such as proxy agreements and outside directors are highlighted to ensure compliance and safeguard national security.The episode also revisits Section 847 from the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which mandates FOCI assessments for non-classified U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) contracts valued at $5 million or more and represents a significant expansion of FOCI regulations. This discussion reinforces the need for companies to effectively navigate these complexities while utilizing supplemental documents like Affiliated Operations Plans and Technology Control Plans to maintain compliance.

What impact will the 2024 presidential election have on antitrust policy, federal merger approvals, and foreign investment in the United States? Uncertainty about future federal policy makes investment decisions this year especially challenging. In this episode, host Allan Marks speaks with Milbank partners Adam Di Vincenzo and John Beahn about antitrust and CFIUS policy under the administrations of President Biden and former President Trump, discovering both sharp differences and some surprising similarities. They discuss how to anticipate regulators' concerns and federal enforcement patterns in merger approvals amid political uncertainty in an election year. They analyze divergent trends in antitrust enforcement, highlighting tensions between economic goals that keep domestic markets competitive and national security goals that favor globally dominant US corporations with wide moats. And they explore how CFIUS, the FTC and DOJ are focusing on supply chains, domestic manufacturing, next-generation technology and AI, and the broader question of what it means to be competitive.

At the age of 17, my guest embarked on an unconventional journey by enlisting in the Army as an All-Source Intel Analyst. After high school, he completed his education, earned a Bachelor's degree in Strategic Studies & Defense Analysis, and later, a Master's in Strategic Studies. In 2018, he deployed to Djibouti, where he served with the 404th Civil Affairs Battalion. Subsequently, my guests ventured to Afghanistan and later to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. These diverse deployments broadened his horizons and honed his skills. His transition to the Threat Screening Center and later to a role supporting the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency and FBI's National Joint Terrorism Task Force was marked by academic accomplishments, including the completion of his Master's Degree. In 2022, the allure of overseas service beckoned once more, leading him to Qatar to support Special Operations Command. Now, he eagerly awaits his next assignment, where he will continue to serve the Department of Defense in Northern Virginia. Beneath the surface of his professional journey lies a deep-rooted family tradition of military service and an abiding passion for literature, which eventually culminated in the writing and self publishing of numerous books beginning in 2021 and continuing to this day.

If you haven't read the book, 1984 by George Orwell, maybe you ought to really soon. We have a new group at the Department of Homeland Security. The administration is having a tough time deciding on a title... is it the Governance of Truth... Disinformation Board? The Department of Disinformation and what exactly are they doing and watching for? I'll tell you what I think they're doing in this episode. 1984 by George Orwell is a whole different way of looking at life...dystopian, nightmarish, less free, more work... in a nutshell... totalitarian. The authority... the ruling class... the inner party... it seems that you must speak in quiet mumbling whispers, always afraid of Big Brother whose eyes are watching you at every turn. Keep to yourself. Don't think. Don't speak. Don't write. Do what you are told and everything may be okay. Just don't show dissent and if you do... they tell you that you are in serious trouble. And when that happens the torture that you thought was the worst gets even more intense and all for having something called a thought-crime. Psychological and physical tough-guy tactics are the name of the game. Enjoy the wonders of what we have now... it may change quickly! And remember... You can not escape a prison if you know don't know you're in one.
