Former top military and intelligence officials from both Democratic and Republican administrations are calling on Senate leaders to bring up cybersecurity legislation that includes protections for critical infrastructure.
The military and intelligence officials urged Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in a letter to bring cybersecurity legislation to the Senate floor this year, saying the measure is "critically necessary to protect our national and economic security." The leaders did not endorse any specific proposal, but noted that the legislation from Senate Homeland Security Chairman Joe Lieberman (I-CT) "has received the most traction."
