According to FL Congressman Ric Keller, the House is pushing a bill that will kill the entire deal, regardless. This is just so much blather by the UAE trying to save (what little) face (it can).

Yeah, but any bill has to get past the Senate.

Scavone told AP in an interview that his e-mail was intended to reassure officials at the Port of Miami Terminal Operating Co. _ which manages operations there and is half-owned by a DP World subsidiary _ that uncertainty surrounding the Dubai ports deal would not affect its work in Miami.

Sounds to me like the POMTCO was already there and already partially owned by DP--before the P&O purchase.

The Miami port company's other owners are Eller & Company Inc. and Florida Stevedoring Inc.

From what I've read, these are the whiners who brought all this to a head by beotching to Chuck Schumer after getting rebuffed by John Warner. Frankly, I hope Eller & Company--and Florida Stevedoring get a royal probing by all sorts of government agencies...their petulant behaviour created a big furor over nothing.

Interesting, the sale of OP to DPW has all ready take place if I understand the events of last week properly.
