With only the House meeting in Washington yesterday there
were 76 bills introduced. Of those, only one may be of specific interest to
readers of this blog:
HR 526 To
amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to establish in the Department of
Homeland Security a board to coordinate and integrate departmental
intelligence, activities, and policy related to counterterrorism, and for other
purposes. Rep. Katko, John [R-NY-24]
This bill will only be of interest here if it specifically
addresses cybersecurity matters.
There is one other bill that I would like to mention in
passing, HR
571, to permit members of the House of Representatives to donate used
computer equipment to public elementary and secondary schools designated by the
members. I am torn between hoping that the bill sets standards for removing
sensitive information from those computers prior to their donation or hoping
that computer education programs at those institutions teach the students to
look for sensitive information on those computers as a cybersecurity learning
aid. I will not be mentioning this bill again on this blog….
