I appreciate everything the Senator is doing. I understand the importance of fighting against cyber attacks. I want to make two points--clarify two points that I think are very important. The language in this bill is the same standard the private sector is held to in the House-passed bill. The chamber had no problem 6 months ago when that bill was passed out of the House of Representatives. So I continue to ask the question: If it is good enough--if this language is good enough for the private sector, why is it not good enough for the public sector, for the Federal Government? The second thing is that I believe my amendment does strike a balance, increasing privacy but still providing that real-time information sharing. I just wanted to make those two points.
