With the Memorial Day Recess coming up there was a typical
surge in the number of bills introduced yesterday. Of that large number of bills
two will probably be of interest to the chemical security and cybersecurity
communities. They are:
S 1034 Latest Title: A bill to
authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2014 for military activities of the
Department of Defense and for military construction, to prescribe military
personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for other purposes. Sponsor: Sen
Levin, Carl (D,MI)
HR 2146 Latest Title: To extend
the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program of the Department of the Treasury for 10
years. Sponsor: Rep
Capuano, Michael E. (D,MA)
The military spending bill may provide cybersecurity
language. It will be interesting to see if the latest terrorism insurance
extension bill (this one with a large number of bipartisan co-sponsers)
corrects the deficiencies I’ve noted in the two earlier bills.
