But the London company got the contract via a public bid. The congress would have to remove the contract from the British company, which would in essence prevent the sale to the UAE, as the UAE wouldn't want to buy a company without the American ports as part of the deal.
But the US would then have to rebid the contract or do it themselves. And best I can tell there isn't an American company capable of doing this, and I bet the Brits wouldn't even put in a bid for it. So we would be faced with Singapore or Dubai, or one of the other companies that does this stuff. > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Dinowitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2006 12:27 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: Bush's First Veto? > > This isn't a public bid.
