Rep. Michael McCaul on Thursday said the House next week will again vote on a bipartisan bill to establish a new Office of Cyber Issues at the State Department as well as an ambassador position for cyberspace.
“I believe that setting up an ambassador at large is very important so that we have international norms and standards when it comes to cyberspace,” McCaul said at an event hosted by the McCrary Institute of Auburn University.
The bill, the Cyber Diplomacy Act, which has been passed by the House in previous years, is backed by Reps. Mike Gallagher (R-Wisc.), Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) and Jim Langevin (D-R.I.), who also spoke at the McCrary event.
