1840 FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION DECISIONS
83 F.T.C.
IN THE MATTER OF

Legality of domestic corporation, owned or otherwise controlled by foreign interests, being a member of an export association, Webb-Pomerene Act. (Digest 484, File No. 743 7001)

Opinion Letter
December 6, 1973
Dear Mr. Augur:

This is in response to your request for an advisory opinion which was contained in a letter to the Bureau of Competition dated July 20, 1973. The Commission is of the opinion that membership in an export (Webb-Pomerene) association by a United States corporation, which is owned or controlled by foreign interests, in and of itself, would not violate the laws administered by the Commission.

By direction of the Commission.
Letter of Request
July 20, 1978

Dear Sirs:

We represent a client interested in forming an export association as provided for in the Export Trade Act of 1918 (16 U.S.C. 861-65). In discussing the qualifications for membership in the association, a possible question has arisen for which we seek your advice in the form of an advisory opinion. The question is as follows: It is a violation of the antitrust laws of the United States for an export association to include as a member of that association a corporation, incorporated in one of the states of the United States, which is owned or otherwise controlled by foreign interests. We appreciate your willingness to review this matter. Very truly yours, /s/ Harrison H. Augur
