     SEC. __. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) Congress must address the ongoing, escalating threat 
     posed by cyber attacks from foreign countries and independent 
     or sponsored nefarious actors;
       (2) cyber attacks present one of the most critical national 
     security threats facing the United States;
       (3) vulnerabilities in the cybersecurity of the United 
     States have been exploited to access sensitive and personal 
     information, including data relating to security clearance 
     investigations; and
       (4) in order to protect the most important information 
     systems of the United States, including those in our weapon 
     systems, from cyber threats, Congress must invest in 
     developing the most sophisticated and agile cyber capability 
     in the world.
