Mr. WYDEN. Mr. President, I expect that the Senate will soon pass by unanimous consent the Blackburn-Klobuchar Safe Cloud Storage Act. This bill will enable Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies to use modern cloud computing services to store and process digital evidence when investigating online sexual abuse and exploitation. Senators Blackburn and Klobuchar worked closely with me to make important changes to this bill to strengthen the cyber security requirements for the tech companies storing such sensitive digital evidence so that hackers are not able to steal and then redistribute the extremely sensitive images and videos documenting abuse that law enforcement agencies have entrusted to these companies. I sincerely appreciate their partnership on this important issue.
