Yesterday as expected the House passed HR 5639, the National
Institute of Standards and Technology Improvement Act of 2016 by a voice vote.
There was only eleven minutes ‘debate’
on the bill before the vote was taken, but there were no words spoken in
opposition to the bill.
As I mentioned in my earlier
post there is only one cybersecurity provision in the bill, but it is more
of a face-saving slap at the NSA than an effective legislative provision.
The bill, if it reaches the floor of the Senate before the end of the session, will almost
certainly be considered under their unanimous consent provisions where it will
be passed with no debate and no vote.
