Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Madam Chair, I rise in support of this amendment.

I would also argue that, in addition to it being vague, it's also overbroad in that it includes investigations for child pornography and child abductions and computer crimes. This means that under CISPA, the NSA could share data with law enforcement to investigate computer crimes, which is so broad and includes even lying about your age on your Facebook page. Are these really cyber threats that this bill claims to fix? We must defend against cyber attacks while protecting the liberties and privacy of Americans.
