Kaveh Waddell writes Senate’s upcoming consideration of fiscal 2016 appropriations and the Iranian nuclear deal leaves the upper chamber little time to consider all CISA amendments.
“A shortÂer deÂbate means fewÂer amendÂments, beÂcause you have to comÂplete the deÂbate,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) was quoted as saying by National Journal.
Feinstein and Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) introduced the bill in an effort to increase threat information sharing between government and commercial organizations.
Republican and Democratic senators agreed on the 22 CISA amendments before the August recess with the goal of addressing concerns over privacy, liability protections and the structure of a planned data exchange program, the report said.
