mrs. feinstein: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from california. mrs. feinstein: mr. president i would like to speak today in support of the cybersecurity information sharing act. i had hoped that senator burr, the chairman of the committee would be able to deliver the remarks initially. however, he's been, unfortunately, delayed and so i will go ahead with my remarks as vice chairman of the committee. mr. president, there really is no legislative or administrative step we can take that will end all cyber crime and cyber warfare. but as members of the senate intelligence committee we've heard over the course of several years now that improving the exchange of information and the sharing of that information company to company and company to the government can be very helpful p and yield a real and significant improvement to cybersecurity. regrettably, this is the third attempt to pass a cybersecurity information-sharing bill. in the almost five years that i've been working on this issue two things have become abundantly clear about passing a bill. first, it must be bip

mrs. feinstein: thank you, mr. president. i'm sorry. mr. president, it's my understanding that although the senate has been scheduled to vote at 10:30 on a cloture motion, that that time might be changed. however, i would like to make some additional remarks additional to what i said yesterday on the cybersecurity information-sharing act. i think it's fair to say that i've been very disappointed over the past couple of days that we have not moved to this bill more quickly and that we haven't reached an agreement to take up and begin considering amendments. there's been a lot of talk about committee jurisprudence and germaneness -- about committee jurisdictions and germaneness of amendments and process issues that the american people don't care about and which, frankly, don't make anyone safer. so i want to take a few minutes to point out what we're really talking about, and here are a few facts and figures. as i said in my remarks yesterday, cyber attacks and cyber threat is getting more and more common and more and more devastating. this i

mrs. clinton under oath later this fall. >> david fin dianne feinstein as are rallying to clinton's defenseand it's so much that is classified, how on earth can anyone keep track of it all? >> on that pine, the government has said it's too much classified information, and less information should be classified. but the problem that clinton has, some of the information, according to the national security analysts, was so sensitive, and programs that any cabinet secretary would have had to have known were classified and handled with care. and to me, in the cases, it doesn't usually apply. >> david, appreciate it. >> the group be behind the fidelity website said that it dumped to hundreds of people who cheat on their spouses. >> here's the background. in july, hackers broke into the ashley madison website, the website to help married people cheat on their spouses, and it has 37 million members. and the hackers call themselves the impact team. and they have files of data. log-in detail. and email addresses, payment transaction details, and encrypted passwords. they posted it because ashley madis

mr. president, it's an important issue. once again i hope as we continue to debate this bill that we will find a path forward on all amendments. i appreciate both senator burr and feinstein's willingness to work with me on my amendments and look forward to continuing this debate. thank you, mr. president, and i yield the floor. the presiding officer: the senator from new york. mr. schumer: i ask unanimous consent that 30 minutes be equally divided, the next 30 minutes be equally divided between schumer, boxer, whitehouse, markey, and schatz. the presiding officer: is there objection? mr. whitehouse: mr. president? may i ask for a modification that i be able to speak for one minute on the cyber issue before we go into that 30 minutes, with that modification i have no objection. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection. mr. whitehouse: i want to respond to what the senator from arizona said. we are very keen to get a good cyber bill passed. my concern about the amendment process is that amendments that will strengthen the bill and make it a better cyber bill ought to have a chance to get a vote. i have one that i worked out with senator graham, who i thin
