  • Addresses corporate tax inversions where U.S. companies relocate legal addresses to countries with lower corporate tax rates (citing Ireland's 12.5% rate versus the U.S. combined state and local rate of approximately 26%)

  • References pending federal legislation that would bar executive agencies, including the Department of Defense, from contracting with inverted corporations or their subsidiaries unless a national security waiver is granted
