 A House panel voted overwhelmingly Wednesday in favor of a new 
data-sharing program that would give the federal government a broader role 
in helping banks, manufacturers and other businesses protect themselves 
against cyberattacks.The bill, approved 18-2 by the House Intelligence Committee, 
would enable companies to disclose technical threat data to the government 
and competitors in real-time, lifting antitrust restrictions and giving 
legal immunity to companies if hacked, so long as they act in 
good faith. In turn, companies could get access to government information 
on cyberthreats that is often classified.It's a defiant move by pro-business 
lawmakers who say concerns by privacy advocates and civil liberties groups 
are overblown. But even while the panel's approval paves the way for 
an easy floor vote next week, the legislation has yet to be 
embraced outside the Republican-controlled House. Last year, a similar measure 
never gained traction and eventually prompted a White House veto thre

of the family members' visit, saying, "I'm a parent, a grandparent ... 
and I had to do something."Said Toomey: "Criminals and the dangerously mentally 
ill shouldn't have guns. I don't know anyone who disagrees with that 
premise." He said that expanding the checks wasn't gun control, "just common 
sense."The agreement makes it all but certain that the Senate will reject 
a conservative blockade and vote Thursday to begin debating Democrats' gun 
legislation. Besides broader background check requirements, the bill would 
also toughen laws against illicit firearms sales and provide a small increase 
in school security aid.Underscoring that the fight was far from over, NRA 
spokesman Andrew Arulanandam said the organization opposes the Manchin-Toomey 
accord. The group, which has fought most of Obama's gun proposals and 
claims nearly 5 million members, said the focus should be on improving 
the nation's mental health system and sources of violence like gangs."Expanding 
background checks at gun shows will not prevent the next shooting, will 
not solve violent crime and will not keep our kids safe in 
schools," the NRA said.On a day when first lady Michelle Obama was 
visiting a violence-plagued high school in Chicago, the Obamas' hometown, 
the NRA said, "President Obama should be as c
