Excerpt: U.S. officials visited the offices of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Wednesday to discuss forthcoming guidance on enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. … the Chamber enlisted 30 trade groups in February to its cause, which, among other things, includes a call to create an affirmative defense for companies with robust compliance programs and to narrowly define who qualifies as a foreign official. Among the groups represented at the meeting Wednesday were the Advanced Medical Technology Association, National Association of Manufacturers, the National Foreign Trade Council, PhRMA and The Financial Services Roundtable.http://blogs.wsj.com/corruption-currents/2012/04/11/us-officials-meet-with-chamber-trade-groups-over-fcpa-guidance/
