Congress Members Stefanik, Khanna, Gallagher Work to Counter Foreign Telecommunications Influence

Reps Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Ro Khanna (D-CA), and Mike Gallagher (R-WI) reintroduced the bipartisan Foreign Adversary Communications Transparency (FACT) Act to counter the influence of China and other foreign adversaries on the United States’ telecommunications infrastructure. This bill would provide critical telecommunications transparency by requiring the Federal Communications Commission to publish a list of companies that hold FCC authorizations, licenses, or other grants of authority any ownership by foreign adversarial governments, including China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, and Cuba.
