WASHINGTON—Congressional officials declined to say on July 29 if six information technology (IT) modernization recommendations they approved July 25 would prevent future cybersecurity scandals such as those involving Imran Awan and Jackson Cosko in 2017 and 2018.
The six recommendations were among 24 adopted by the Select Committee on Modernization of Congress. The House of Representatives panel includes six Democrats and six Republicans. Each approved recommendation received at least nine votes from among the 12 members.
