As expected the House voted yesterday along generally
bipartisan lines to agree to the Conference Report on HR 4310, the National
Defense Authorization Act FY 2013. The vote
was 315 to 107 with 30 Republicans and 77 Democrats voting against the
measure.
A unanimous consent agreement was reached in the Senate for
consideration of the Conference Report, probably sometime today. There will be
one hour of debate and a vote on the measure.
As I noted in an earlier
blog post there are a number of cyber related provisions included in the
final version of the bill including requirements for defense contractors to
report cyber-breaches and provisions for secure development requirements for
defense software.
