want a requirement that industry scrub any
data of personal information before giving it to the government -- a
stipulation that Rogers and business groups say would be too onerous and
deter industry participation.Rogers, who co-sponsored the bill with Rep.
Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md., the panel's top Democrat, said they altered
the bill to address other concerns by privacy groups raised last year.
But a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union, Michelle Richardson,
said the bill is still objectionable because it could allow the military
to review data on private commercial networks."A couple of cosmetic changes
is not enough to address the concerns of members" in the Senate,
Richardson said.Rogers says the political calculus has changed and that
China's hacking campaign was too brazen for the White House to justify
the status quo."There's a line around the Capitol building of companies
willing to come in and tell us in a classified setting (that)
`my whole intellectual property portfolio is gone,"' Rogers said. "I've
never seen anything like this, where we aren't jazzed and our blood
pressure isn't up."In February, Obama signed an executive order that would
help develop voluntary industry standards for protecting networks. But the
White House and Congress agreed that legislation was still needed to address
the legal liability companies face if they share threat information. Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., promised at the
diminished greatly.The Senate advanced
the federal legislation Thursday morning, but the key plank of that pertains
to expanding background checks. A provision to renew bans on assault weapons
and high-capacity magazines was dropped from the main bill, though it will
likely get a vote as an amendment.The odds of the Senate advancing
to an up-or-down vote on the legislation improved Wednesday after two conservative
senators -- one Democrat, one Republican -- announced a proposed compromise
on background checks meant to assuage gun owners' concerns. The plan would
apply to background checks for gun shows and Internet sales but exempt
certain transactions among family members and others.Still, the National
Rifle Association said the proposal went too far.If a bill ultimately passes,
it will only come after millions more firearms have been purchased. Ammunition,
too, has been flying off the shelves at a rapid clip. The
sales have been picking up for several months. While Obama's re-election
and the push for gun control legislation have been blamed, others have
pointed the finger at the Department of Homeland Security, which has drawn
attention for looking to purchase up to 1.6 billion rounds over the
next five years for its law enforcement divisions.

and showed that Republican support was possible."Opposing yet another reform,
which has Americans scratching their heads, is not a place where a
national political party can afford to be," said Mark Glaze.Reflecting concerns
about unseen details about some gun rights language, the Brady Campaign
to Prevent Gun Violence took a more tempered view."While we continue to
review the legislation, we believe a majority of the components are a
good step forward," said Brian Malte, director of the campaign's network
mobilization.There are no current, definitive statistics on how many gun
sales occur annually and what portion occurs without the checks. A study
in the 1990s found that up to 40 percent of transactions involved
no checks.Fox News' Chad Pergram and the Associated Press contributed to
this report.
ashington say Pyongyang
appears to be preparing to test-fire a medium-range missile designed to
reach the U.S. territory of Guam in the Pacific Ocean.Such a launch
would violate U.N. Security Council resolutions prohibiting North Korea
from nuclear and ballistic missile activity, and mark a major escalation
in Pyongyang's standoff with neighboring nations and the U.S.North Korea
already has been punished in recent months for launching a long-range rocket
in December and conducting an underground nuclear test in February.Analysts
do not believe North Korea will stage an attack similar to the
one that started the Korean War in 1950. But there are concerns
that the animosity could spark a skirmish that could escalate into a
serious conflict."North Korea has been, with its bellicose rhetoric, with
its actions ... skating very close to a dangerous line," U.S. Defense
Secretary Chuck Hagel said in Washington on Wednesday. "Their actions and
their words have not helped defuse a combustible situation."The missile
that officials believe Pyongyang is readying has been dubbed the "Musudan"
by foreign experts after the northeastern village where North Korea has
a launch pad. The missile has a range of 3,500 kilometers (2,180
miles) and is designed to reach U.S. military installments in Guam and
Japan, experts say.Bracing for a launch, officials said could take place
at any time, Seoul deployed three naval destroyers, an early warning surveillance
