6. To Require Certain Actions by the Overseas Private Investment Corporation.-On May 25, 27, and June 8, the subcommittee received testimony from Mr. Gerald Morgan, vice president and general counsel of Overseas Private Investment Corp., Mr. Joseph Griffin, Esq., attorney at law, Arent, Fox, Kintner, Plotkin & Kahn (Mr. Griffin is also chairman of the Committee on Insuring Overseas Investments of the American Bar Association), and Mr. Thomas A. Wood, president of TAW International Leasing, Inc. The hearings were held on the bill H.R. 11532, which is a bill to require certain actions by the Overseas Private Investment Corp. H.R. 11532 provides that the Overseas Private Investment Corp. will issue regulations on the cancellation of insurance coverage in cases where the insured is found by the corporation to have substantially bribed foreign public officials. The bill also adds a policy statement that OPIC shall not encourage the violation of the law of situs countries by its clients. Because the doctrine of national sovereignty is involved in such a situation, it is thought by some that such a statement would clarify congressional intent. During the course of the hearings it was discovered that there is a gap in the restriction of coverage when acts such as bribery occur. The subcommittee hearings were concluded and the bill H.R. 14681 (a modified version of H.R. 11532) was referred to the House International Relations Committee and passed by the House under suspension of the rules on August 24, 1976.
