Treasury Department officials on Friday listened to Washington attorneys rattle off a raft of concerns about the Bush administration’s plans for new rules governing foreign acquisitions of U.S. assets.

Following up on legislation adopted last year revamping the CFIUS review processes, the Treasury Department on April 21 released a draft of rule changes needed to implement the new law.
