SEC. __. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

It is the sense of Congress that--

posed by cyber attacks from foreign countries and independent
or sponsored nefarious actors;
(2) cyber attacks present one of the most critical national
security threats facing the United States;

States have been exploited to access sensitive and personal
information, including data relating to security clearance
investigations; and
(4) in order to protect the most important information
systems of the United States, including those in our weapon
systems, from cyber threats, Congress must invest in
developing the most sophisticated and agile cyber capability
in the world.
