                             CYBER SECURITY

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, my friend the Republican leader talked about 
the old forces of gridlock when he talked about cyber security. He and 
his caucus were those old forces of gridlock. We tried for 5 years to 
pass a cyber security bill; it was filibustered every time. The bills, 
quite frankly, that were filibustered were very strong, good, in-depth 
bills. We passed a cyber security bill--better than nothing, but that 
is about it. It was not really a resoundingly good effort to go after 
the problems we are having with cyber security, but we finally got it 
done because the problems on the Republican side disappeared.
