Under the Foreign Direct Investment and International Finan-
cial Data Improvements Act of 1990, foreign individuals own-
ing or acquiring a 10% or more voting interest in U.S.
businesses, including interests in U.S. real estate, must
report certain information, including annual financial and
operating data, to the U.S. Department of Commerce. Fail-
ure to file can result in civil penalties of $2,500 to
$25,000. (22 U.S.C. Sec. 3101-3108)
Reporting requirements under this law may be summarized as
follows:
. Forms BE-13, BE-13C Exemption Claim, and BE-14 -- The
initial investment reports representing establishment
or acquisition of a U.S. affiliate. (A person is
excused from filing these reports only in the case
of purchases of U.S. real estate exclusively for
personal, non-business use.)
. Forms BE-605 and BE-606B -- Quarterly reporting for
qualifying reporters.
. Form BE-15 -- Annual reporting form.
. Form BE-12 -- Quinquennial (every 5 years) reporting
in benchmark surveys.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
