� � Guard, and the FBI's National Infrastructure Protection Center.
� � During closed-door negotiations before the debate began, the House

� � obtaining a court order, and offers Internet providers more latitude
� � to disclose information to police.
� � In July, the full House approved CSEA by a 385-to-3 vote, but it died

� � adjourns for the holidays.
