MIAMI BEACH -- Speaking just miles from the Port of Miami, U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Friday she is pleased the Bush administration and a United Arab Emirates company have agreed to delay the company's takeover of significant operations at six major American ports.

But the New York Democrat and former first lady said she is still opposed to the deal and plans to introduce legislation that would block Dubai Ports World or any other company owned by a foreign government from operating U.S. ports.

Dubai Ports World, which is owned by the UAE government, had been expected to take control of operations at the ports under a $6.8 billion deal with London-based Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co.

In her first public comments since Dubai Ports World volunteered to postpone its takeover late Thursday, Clinton said she is "very pleased when last night the administration and the Dubai company said that they would subject themselves to the questions that Americans and their elected representatives have. That's the way a democracy is supposed to work."
