With just the Senate in town yesterday (the House was in
session for 2 minutes and no one came) there were 21 bills introduced. Of those
only two may be of specific interest to readers of this blog:
HR 3505
To amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to improve the management and
administration of the security clearance processes throughout the Department of
Homeland Security, and for other purposes. Rep. Thompson, Bennie G. [D-MS-2]
HR
3510 To amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to require the Secretary of
Homeland Security to develop a cybersecurity strategy for the Department of
Homeland Security, and for other purposes. Rep. Richmond, Cedric L. [D-LA-2]
HR 3505 will only be of interest if it contains provisions
for providing security clearances to critical infrastructure for the purposes
of information sharing.
HR 3510 will only be of interest if the strategy addresses either
information sharing with the private sector (not too likely) or deals with
guidance on how cyber security will be applied to regulated entities.
