Whereas the economic competitiveness and the national security of the United States are integrally tied with the security of its information systems;Whereas intrusions at private companies have resulted in the loss of personally sensitive information, the exfiltration of valuable intellectual property, and the destruction of computer systems;Whereas intrusions in Federal networks have resulted in a loss of privacy for millions of Americans and exposed confidential information to malicious actors;Whereas networks associated with our critical infrastructure have been probed for possibly exploitable weaknesses;Whereas these systems, public and private, continue to remain vulnerable to attack by criminals, nation states, and terrorists;Whereas securing these systems requires sustained partnerships between the Government, industry, and security researchers;Whereas as a new domain, cybersecurity policy requires innovative thinking from across disciplines in order to be effective;Whereas past cybersecurity commissions such as the CSIS Commission on Cybersecurity for the 44th Presidency have provided valuable input and policy recommendations to Government officials;Whereas Executive Order 13718 of February 9, 2016, established the Commission on Enhancing National Cybersecurity (the "Commission");Whereas the Commission membership shall draw on expertise from a wide variety of topics relevant to cybersecurity policy;Whereas the Commission shall evaluate ways to improve awareness and adoption of cybersecurity risk management and other best practices across the information system ecosystem;Whereas the Commission shall make detailed recommendations on how to strengthen cybersecurity of public and private networks over the next decade; andWhereas the Commission has the potential to guide the Government to implement policies that enhance privacy, ensure public safety, and protect economic and national security: Now, therefore, be itThat the House of Representatives—

  - (2) will work closely with the Commission to identify bold new approaches needed to enable a thriving, secure, and reliable United States digital economy; and
