Exon-Florio :
The "Exon-Florio" provision (section 721 of the Defense Production Act) provides the President with authority to investigate proposed or pending mergers, acquisitions, and takeovers by or with foreign persons to determine their effects on national security. The provision also grants the President authority to suspend or block those transactions that lead to control of a domestic firm by a foreign person if the President determines that the foreign purchaser might take actions that would threaten the national security.
