But I put the word out to a few other places and started kind of doing the decision matrix on why I would want to sell to one vice the others. Some folks who wanted to buy me were foreign, so foreign born. Meaning that would be a challenge because I had top secret cleared business, which would make it difficult for them to take over. Other people wanted to buy my business but have me run it. Now, the whole point of me selling the business was because I didn't want to run it anymore. (49:10–49:22)

CLAIM

Asserts that foreign ownership of a top secret cleared business is challenging due to security clearance issues.
