House To Unveil New Technology Security Protocol

December 16, 2009 | 9:57 AM

From this morning's Earlybird:

• "The House is planning to ramp up its information and technology security protocols next year based on recommendations made by the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) on Tuesday," The Hill reports. "All House staffers who travel outside the territorial United States will be 'required to have their House wireless devices and laptop computers checked by House officials before and after they travel,' according to the CAO."

• "With his industry's fate on the line, National Association of Broadcasters President and CEO Gordon Smith urged Congress Tuesday to preserve free, over-the-air television and not cave to pressure to reallocate the airwaves for broadband connectivity," CongressDailyAM (subscription) reports.
