Senator Burr and Senator Feinstein have called up several additional amendments to S.754, Cybersecurity. Below you will find a complete list of the pending amendments.

Senator Burr then asked unanimous consent that on Thursday, October 22 at 11:00am, the Senate vote on the pending amendments to the Burr-Feinstein substitute to S.754, with a 60 vote threshold for those amendments that are not germane; and that following the disposition of amendments, the substitute, as amended, if amended, be agreed to; the bill, as amended, be read a third time, and the Senate vote on passage, with a 60-vote threshold.
