Congress returns to Washington, D.C., this week for a so-called lame-duck session lasting about three weeks, and TechAmerica wants lawmakers to focus on some technology issues, in addition to income-tax and budget issues, officials of the 1,200-member trade group said Monday. There's broad agreement that the research and development tax credit needs to be extended, as well as strong support for a national data breach notification law and updates to the U.S. Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), said Phil Bond, TechAmerica's president and CEO. "These are priorities that have been voiced and supported by the [congressional] leadership on all sides," Bond said. "There is no debate about the need for an R&D tax credit. Our hope is that we can get some of the consensus issues done."
