A cloture
motion to end debate on S 1197,
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014, was filed
yesterday and there will be a vote on the motion on Friday. This raises the possibility
that a final vote on the bill could take place before the Thanksgiving recess.
Amendments
As part of the unanimous consent motion to continue
debate today on the bill, a deadline for 1 pm today was established for the
filing of first-degree amendments to the bill. Yesterday there were again a large
number of amendments offered to S 1197. This time there were a number of
cybersecurity related amendments. Four of those were minor wording changes to
existing cybersecurity provisions (SA 2352 – SA 2355) offered by Sen. Landrieu
(D,LA).
The only other cybersecurity related amendment was offered
by Sen. Moran (R,KS) would modify the wording of §945 concerning the use of
National Guard personnel in a cybersecurity role. I have not had a chance to
review all of the substitute wording but the significant provisions that I
described in the original bill are still there.
