WASHINGTON (AP):

THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION will conduct a highly unusual second review of potential security risks in a business deal it previously approved for a United Arab Emirates-based company to take over significant operations at six leading United States ports.

The new, 45-day investigation is aimed at averting an impending political showdown as Congress returned to Washington yesterday from a week-long break.
