Two members of the Senate Intelligence Committee are calling on their fellow lawmakers to fully fund the Obama administration’s fiscal 2016 budget request for the Office of Personnel Management — a boost of $32 million compared with 2015 — after a large-scale cyberattack on OPM was revealed last week.
“This attack clearly highlights how critical it is for our national defense that Republicans and Democrats negotiate another bipartisan sequester relief package,” Sens. Angus King (I-Maine) and Mark Warner (D-Va.) wrote in a June 10 letter to Arkansas Republican John Boozman, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government. “This attack on OPM’s IT infrastructure is not the first and will likely not be the last.”
