Dr. Paul has also sent copies of the letter to President Trump and the other Committee members.\n\n\u201cCA Technologies provides support services to American critical infrastructure systems. For example, CA Technologies offers mainframe software and maintenance to American utilities, healthcare companies, and financial institutions. Additionally, the company provides network services to the U.S. Army, the Defense Information Systems Agency, and the Social Security Administration, among others. Clearly, CA Technologies is relied upon to handle and protect extremely sensitive information,\u201d Dr. Paul wrote.\n\nAccording to the Treasury Department, \u201cCFIUS is an interagency committee authorized to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in the United States (\u2018covered transactions\u2019), in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States.\u201d[1]\n\nIn his letter, Dr. Paul pointed to CFIUS\u2019 action earlier this year to prevent Broadcom from acquiring Qualcomm based on national security concerns, going on to state, \u201cSimply because Broadcom recently moved its domicile to the United States does not mean that it is no longer a Chinese-controlled company or that the national security concerns previously expressed by CFIUS no longer persist. Given the circumstances surrounding the proposed takeover of CA Technologies by Broadcom, a CFIUS review is entirely appropriate.\u201d\n\nYou can read Dr. Paul\u2019s entire letter to Secretary Mnuchin below:", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-06-27T23:08:35Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.paul.senate.gov/news-icymi-dr-paul-urges-cfius-review-proposed-broadcom-acquisition/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.8685499671846628, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
