feinstein: thank you. companies must review information before it is shared for irrelevant privacy information and they are required to remove any such information -- they're required to remove any such information that's found. a bank would not be able to share a customer's name or account information. things like social security numbers, addresses, passwords, credit information would be unrelated to a cyber threat and would accept in very exceptional circumstances be removed by the company before sharing. the bill requires that the attorney general establish mandatory guidelines to protect the privacy of any information the government receives. these guidelines will be public. the guidelines will limit how long the government can retain any information and provide notification requirements and a process to destroy mistakenly shared information. it also requires the attorney general to create sanctions for any government official who does not follow these mandatory privacy guidelines. sixth, the departmen

feinstein: thank you, mr. president. i want to begin by thanking the chairman for his work on the bill. for me, this has been a secure effort, and it hasn't been easy. and it hasn't been easy because what we've tried to do is strike a balance and make the bill understandable so that there would be a cooperative effort to share between companies and with the government. last thursday the senate showed its support for moving forward with two strong votes. we had a vote of 83-14 to invoke cloture on the substitute amendment showing that there is in fact deep bipartisan support for moving significant legislation to the president's desk. to that end, i'd like to ask unanimous consent that editorials from the two major united states newspapers be inserted into the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mrs. feinstein: thank you, mr. president. the first is from "the washington post" dated october 22 entitled "the senate should take a crucial first step on cybersecurity." and the second is in today's "wall street jou

feinstein: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from california. mrs. feinstein: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that the following senators on the democratic side be permitted to speak for five minutes each on our time. feinstein, five, wyden, five, and carper, five. the presiding officer: without objection. mrs. feinstein: thank you very much, mr. president. after many years of effort, the senate is about to take its first vote to move forward on important cybersecurity legislation. as i stated in my remarks yesterday, this substitute makes 20 changes to the underlying bill. it includes 14 amendments offered by other senators to improve privacy protections, ensure better cybersecurity for emergency services, the health care industry and the federal government, so we have been listening as the chairman has just said and we have tried to incorporate a substantial number of amendments in the manager's package. this is a good bill. it is a first step. it's not going to prevent all cyber attacks or penetrations, but it will allow companies and the government to sh

dianne feinstein may be too old to run again.political insiders will weigh in. ,,,,,,,,,,,, an will begin to m >>> a milestone in the iran nuclear agreement. they will make changes to an underground facility and a reactor and a site for enriching uranium. after that is finished verify the international community will lift sanctions on tehran. >>> the russian military said is it will continue to use drones over syria despite an unmanned vehicle were shut down near the turkish border. they are using data collected from the drones. they criticize the bombing campaign. they say they want to keep alistair in power. >> good morning. how was your perception in the kremlin? >> i went there to tell the russians that in syria we need to make sure their plans are not shooting down our plans and we may not be inside of this but things can get ugly if we don't keep those plants. >> it's interesting. the united states and russia. trust your motives. we have impacting dictators and being involved in these complex for years. are we to tell them

i'd like to thank senators burr and feinstein. i want to thank their staffs for working toght closely with our staffs and others to produce what i think is a significantly smarter bill and stronger bill. is it perfect? no, not yet. but there's always room for improvement, and this is why we still have debate on a number of amendments made in order and for those meninged b mentioned by senator whitehouse that may be germane in conference. and while there may not be agreement on everything in this bill, i believe that most of our completion will come to the conclusion that -- colleagues will come to the conclusion that it will help to improve our nation's giewrt and bnation's cr economic security. the bill would ensure that our government is providing actionable intelligence to private-sector entities seeking to better protect themselves in cyberspace. businesses are hungry for information they can use to fend off attractio attacks and bettet their customers. this bill would make the federal government a much stronger partner for th

feinstein: thank you, madam president. i ask unanimous consent that mark mendenhaul, a detailee to the appropriations committee, have floor privileges for the remainder of the debate on the energy and water appropriations bill. the presiding officer:the presit objection. mrs. feinstein: thank you, madam president. madam president, it wasn't long ago that towns like columbine, aurora, blacksburg, newtown and now roseburg were unknown outside their states. but today these towns have witnessed the worst kind of tragedy -- mass shootings, bodies torn to pieces, families shattered. the common element in each has been an unstable individual who had easy access to deadly weapons. i stood here 2 1/2 years ago to argue for restrictions on the manufacture, transfer and importation of military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. that vote failed. i stood here to argue for universal background checks. it makes sense that there be a process to ensure a firearm isn't purchased by someone who can't legally posse

neither would senator dianne feinstein, a leading democrat. mcconnell and feinstein are the folks we the people must persuade, we must persuade them if you can believe it. so you may want to contact their offices and tell them kate's law deserves a stand-alone vote. we posted their information on bill o'reilly.com, please let them hear loud and clear from you. now, i support defunding sanctuary cityinies but i know democrats will not do it and president obama will not sign it. but kate's law is a different matter. anybody who defies this law is unfit to hold office. you can't defend voting against that. today, house republicans are dealing with chaos as the new speaker of the house situation goes into uncertainty. but the american public is fed up with congress getting so little done. if congress can't even pass a simple piece of legislation that would protect innocent americans from harm and give law enforcement a powerful tool to break up foreign gangs on american soil, if congress cannot even do that the usa is in dire trouble. if kate's la

feinstein: i will. mr. nelson: would the senator share her thoughts with the senate about how the nation's national security defense depends on us being able. we have the guns and the tanks and the airplanes and the missiles and all of that, but there is a new type of threat against the very security of this nation, and that this legislation is a first step. mrs. feinstein: i can try to. and i think the chairman of our committee has just come to the floor, and i believe i can speak for him in this regard. in 2008 we learned that there had been in the committee classified two robberies of banks. the royal bank of scotland, i think for $8 million, and citibank of $10 million. this was all classified because nobody wanted their clients to know this. and then you see the big hits of aramco being taken down, sony. and it goes on and on and on. and it's all very quiet in what you can find out about it. and the information is not really shared by companies. this happened to our company. you know, can you share any

feinstein: thank you very much, mr. chairman. if i may, through the chair, i want you to know how much i appreciate this takata that you have taken -- this tact that you have taken because you have been flexible and willing to extend into this managers' package. so i believe, i truly believe what we have come up with in this managers' package and what members have contributed to it makes it a better bill. and i know you feel the same way, and we can just march on shoulder to shoulder and hopefully get this done. so i will just finish up the few others that i have here, because i want those people listening to this -- assuming that people do listen -- that have concerns to listen to what's being said because it's, the changes have a major impact. the 17th change is it establishes a process by which data on cybersecurity risks or incidents involving emergency response information systems can be reported. the managers' amendment adds heitkamp amendment 2565 -- excuse me. yes, 255 -- excuse me -- which requires the secretary of homel

feinstein: but so be it. as it might become very clear here, senator burr and i, on a bill that came out of committee 14-1, have tried to keep a balance and have tried to prevent this kind of information sharing from being a threat to business so they won't participate. and, therefore, the words that are used are all important as to whether they have a legal derivation. senator leahy's amendment would essentially decrease the amount of sharing by opening up the chance of public discloash you're through the free -- disclosure through the freedom of information act of cyber threats shared under this bill. now, we seek to share information about the nature of cyber effects and suggestions on how to defend networks. this information clearly should not be made available to hackers and cyber criminals who could use it for their own purposes. so we worked -- senator burr and i worked closely with senator leahy and cornyn in putting together the managers' package to remove a foia objection that they viewed as harmful

219 years with climatic change that we need to connect the protected areas the request of senator feinstein to the wanting to designate 3 new monuments in the desert those monuments with connect protected areas and provide additional protection we need now so i urge you to do you want supervisor campos resolution that will really show the president that he has the covet support he niece to make the resolution thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon supervisor president london breed and board of supervisors my name is iris a public servant for another municipality, however, i was born and raised in san francisco my father harassed an officer with any stepmother my issues of senior surveys we and what is falling between the cracks services that don't address the needs my aunt a 99 years old i've tried unsuccessfully to talk to members of the board of supervisors and to just a meeting out of courtesy has not happened my aunt is harassed to the point of a stroke my car stood up in mid-motion by a tic building interested in what we can gain financing at hi aunts remove f

senator feinstein, we are delighted to have you. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> i am going to be speaking about a bill i introduced with senator boxer. i would like to thank david norris on the california chapter of the veterans of foreign wars. this would allow on the northside a veteran's cemetery and on the south side, a very large complex, including a hospital, several buildings, a ucla baseball diamond and many other things. >> it is run down. it needs help. the largest amount of veterans in america live in los angeles. there are 3,000 and more than 4,000 have no place to go. they are, in fact, homeless. 10% of the veterans in this country live in southern california. simply put, we need to get things right at the west l.a. va. i would like to briefly recap the history. every v.a. facility in the country has the leasing authority provided in my bill, except for the west lava. in 2007, congress took that authority away. after it became clear that leases were granted to commercial entities that were not serving veterans. this includes everything f

feinstein: thank you, mr. president.ant to begin by saying that i very much agree with what chairman burr has just stated. it's factual. it's the truth. for me, i have worked on this for seven years now. and so this is actually our third bill that we've tried to move. i want to thank the two leaders for bringing the bill to the floor, and i hope it can be considered quickly. up front, i want to make clear, if it hasn't been made clear, that this legislation is a first step only to improve our nation's defenses against cyber attack and cyber intrusion. it's not a panacea, and it will not end our vulnerabilities, but it is the most effective first legislative step, we believe, that we can take. this legislation is about providing legal clarity and legal protection so that companies can share cyber threat information voluntarily with each other and with the government. it provides companies the protections they need and puts strong privacy rules in place. at the beginning of this debate, i think it's important to talk about

we have feinstein. we have art and quentin and the sierra club and the san francisco construction trade unit and the apartment association and the tenants union and those people normally at one another's throats. >> we have to leave it there. obviously, a very closely watched issue across the nation. not just here in san francisco and we will see how voters decide november 3rd. thank you both. dale carson with share bigger sf and the campaign. >> thank you. >> thank you, thuy. >> thank you, thuy, i'm scott shafer. now the debate over san francisco's sanctuary city policy that places strict limits on when law enforcement officials assist federal authorities with immigration investigations. the ordinance has come under intense national scrutiny after the fatal shooting of kate steinly on pier 14 in july. the man, juan lopez sanchez, an immigrant deported from the united states multiple times. san francisco sheriff said his department was following the city's sanctuary policy when it released sanchez from

feinstein's job performance seems to have little impact on voters. she continues to have a favorable rating. >>> we have learned of a pretty unusual showdown that has been going on in oakland over, of all things, a church choir. kpix 5's john ramos tells us why the city says the singers can be a nuisance. ♪[ music ] [ loud gospel ] >> reporter: gospel music is a mainstay of blacks across america. those who love it refer to it as joyful noise and it is anything but quiet. >> the music of the church reveals the life of the church. the enthusiasm of the church. >> reporter: but the city of oakland has a different description of it. they are calling it a nuisance. pleasant grove baptist church in west oakland recently got this letter from the city threatening a $500 a day fine unless it toned down its choir practice. the letter states, this activity macons suit a public nuisance due to its impact to the use and quiet enjoyment of the surrounding community's property. >> we have been here 65 years and all of a sudden we get concerns about the noise. >> re

preventable end of quote, do you agree with that statement from senator feinstein's report?> i would like to think that anything of that magnitude and the loss of life could have in some way have been preventable. i think that what the arb recommended were steps to try to enhance our ability to prevent future attacks. >> let's go back i want to go back and i have the right poster up, apologize for that, 1998 here is what the arb said quote the secretary of state should personally review the security situation of embassy official premises and closing those which are highly vulnerable and threatened end of quote. you've told us all day today that you don't think you should have been involved and i'm quoting from the arb personally reviewing security, how do you square that? >> well there are a couple of important points to make about this congressman. first i made a number of decisions to close embassy chancerys and other official premises based on security and closed the embassy in tripoli and evaluate all of them out of libya and lease ferries that camp from malta and closed

senator feinstein continues to get high approval ratings from registered california voters. they have been pretty consistent throughout the 22 years she's been in the u.s. senate. the latest field poll finds 44% of voters approve of the job she's doing. 29% disapprove. when the same voters are asked if it would be good or bad for the state of california if she seeks another term, 43% say it would be bad for the state. 41% say it would be good. the poll finds democrats welcome another feinstein run, but republicans are firmly opposed. >>> whistleblowers don't have a fighting chance when they seek justice at this agency. >> we investigate the agency that is supposed to protect whistleblowers when they report public safety danger. i'm vicky nguyen. up next, why whistleblowers say the program created to help them does more to harm them. >>> plus a critical new report on the shooting down of a jetliner over ukraine. the terrifying final moments of flight mh-17. the drought is affecting all of us. at pg&e we've definitely put a focus on helping our agricultural customers through t

let me first commend the sponsors, senator burr and senator feinstein for their extraordinary work. this bill will help ensure greater sharing of cybersecurity information while rapidly and broadly across industry and government. as we have seen with large-scale attacks against the federal government and companies like sony, interests an -- there is an urgent need to start addressing these breaches. while such legislation is not going to eliminate our cybersecurity challenges, it should materially help to defeat and deter cyber attacks and assist law enforcement in tracking down and prosecuting cyber criminals. information sharing will also assist the intelligence agencies and law enforcement to detect and trace attacks originating from foreign actors which is a crucial step in holding other countries accountable. many of our citizens and corporations are understandably concerned about the impact of information sharing on privacy, but we also must recognize that rampant cyber crime is a monumental threat to the privacy of the american people, and that sharing information about these

senator feinstein and i worked on it with most of the members of this body. it's a very good bill, passed in a bipartisan way. what would usually happen in a properly functioning united states senate is that we would spend the months of june and july dealing with those 12 appropriations bills. that would mean that not just the 30 members of the appropriations committee would have a chance to vote on them. it would mean that the senator from utah, who is not on the appropriations committee, would have a chance to make his points about the appropriations bill, which is a part of his job here, yet he's shut out of that. why? because democrats say we won't even let you bring them to the floor. it's an extraordinary thing to do. but despite that, mr. president, i want you to know what -- what this body has accomplished in the last seven or eight months. we have passed the keystone pipeline, the president vetoed it. we overruled the ambush elections rule from the nlrb, the president vetoed it. but listen to all the things that we got done with the cooperation of de

i know how important this was, particularly to chairman mccain and chairman feinstein. it represents our best values and also from the testimony we've heard over many years, the most effective ways to obtain information in circumstances as we witnessed in the last few years. now, all of these provisions are commendable. they are the result of significant effort by chairman mccain, chairman thornberry, ranking member smith and the staff who worked tirelessly. however, there are provisions that do in fact cause some concerns. let me first talk about the issue of guantanamo. the report continues to the restrictions relating to the guantanamo detention facility. in previous defense authorization bills, we had made progress in giving the president greater flexibility and streamlining the process for making transfers from guantanamo to other locations, bringing us closer to the goal of closing guantanamo. the guantanamo provisions in this year's conference report are in a sense a step backward. they continue to maintain the prohibitions on the transfer of guantanamo detainees

this isn't something new, but it wasn't until 2008 that sarah -- that senator feinstein and i got the legislation done. let me say this, ntsb is amazing. they are the ones who show up after horrible crashes of rail, of planes, and they are the ones who make really important safety recommendations. well, actually they work with the f.a.a. so they are the ones who come forward after an accident. yes, they do the investigation and they make the recommendations. now, what they said, if we had put p.t.c. in all those years ago, 146 accidents or derailments could have been avoided with implementation of the p.t.c., and at least 300 fatalities and 7,000 injuries could have been prevented. and since the chatworth, california, accident, 14p.t.c. preventible accidents or derailments have occurred. so let's be clear. people are dying, they're being injured because we don't have positive train control. now, the good news, the great news for my state is metro link and cal train already have put p.t.c. on. up know, amtrak has put it on certain of their runs. so it is happening. but some of the rail
