Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman (I-CT) says that the Senate will not act on cybersecurity legislation during the lame-duck session, punting the issue of how to improve the government's response to cyber threats to the next Congress. He has been working with Senate Commerce Committee Chairman John (Jay) Rockefeller (D-WV) to try to merge the two panels' cybersecurity measures into one, but said time is running out to reach a compromise.
