Yesterday during the considerationof HR 6365, the FY 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, the House took
up all of the proposed amendments related to cybersecurity that I
described in yesterday’s post. None of the twelve amendments were
considered individually; they were all part of the two en bloc amendments considered
by the House.
The first six cybersecurity amendments (#s 2, 15, 27, 72,
117 and 162) were included in the first en bloc consideration. This group was
approved by a roll call vote
of 336 to 71 at 7:08 pm EDT. The second group (#s 179, 219, 220, 319, 320, and
329) was adopted by a voice vote at 8:38 pm EDT.
The House will resume consideration of the bill this morning
with votes on six amendments that were debated yesterday. The House will then
move to vote on the bill. The bill is expected to pass on essentially party
lines. The Senate is still considering S 4049 and it too is expected to be
approved in a mainly partisan vote. The two versions of the NDAA will have to
be reconciled by a conference committee.
