“This represents a single point of possible failure for our most important military assets. The requirement that this amendment puts in place will mean we must take into account the stresses placed upon the grid and how we can reduce those to enhance the security of our defense infrastructure.

I urge my colleagues to support this amendment and vote for the underlying bill. I commend Chairman Skelton and Ranking Member McKeon for bringing this to the floor and Congressmen Andrews and Conaway for their hard work putting it together.”
