WASHINGTON -

is moving to expand the scope of a cybersecurity bill, offering an amendment that would protect private, personal information stored on "cloud computers" by limiting the government's access to the fast-expanding systems.

Wyden also plans to push a second amendment that would create new and specific rules governing the use of GPS location data by law enforcement and government officials.

The cybersecurity bill, written by Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., and Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, is on the Senate floor this week, though it's unclear whether Wyden's amendments will be considered before the week ends. That's important because Congress recesses for it's 5-week August break on Friday.

If the Senate doesn't finish the bill could be considered again in September.

Either way, Wyden's amendments would reshape a bill that originally was designed to fortify crucial industries such as power plants and chemical facilities, water plants and banks from cyber attack.

Wyden's amendments are among a large group of provisions to be debated on the Senate floor

“The technology available for government and law enforcement to fight crime on and off line has advanced so quickly that the law has not been able to keep pace,” Wyden said in announcing the amendments.

”Whether through GPS tracking or monitoring information within the cloud, law enforcement and the government must maintain a balance between combating potential crimes and preserving the right to privacy of all Americans.

The legislative work is only the latest installment in Wyden's long-running battle with the Obama Administration and beyond over what he believes are lax rules controlling cyber surveillance.

Last week,

to the nation's top intelligence official that was co-signed by 11 senators. It demanded that loopholes allowing the spying be closed and federal officials provide more precise estimates to how extensive the practice is.

He has repeatedly clashed with the Obama Administration over what he terms the "secret law" governing surveillance of American citizens.

The mass storage amendment, which Wyden named "Stay Off My Cloud," prohibits individuals’ private data from being accessed by the government solely because it’s stored by a company who provides information services to a government agency.

The GPS measure largely recreates stand-alone legislation that

The It requires government agencies to get a probable cause warrant to obtain geolocation information "in the same way that they currently get warrants for wiretaps or other types of electronic surveillance," a description of the bill says.

"It also requires private companies to get customer consent before sharing their customers’ information outside the normal course of business, and outlaws “cyber-stalking” by making it a crime to secretly track someone’s movements electronically," the summary says.

Wyden's chances for success, however, are uncertain. A Senate aide said the bill might be pulled off the floor because the same opening Wyden used to offer his amendments has been used by other senators to force consideration of a wide range of other controversial - and unrelated - topics.

In all, 110 amendments have been formally submitted.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, for example, submitted an amendment that would outlaw some abortions in the District of Columbia.

, has one that would ban large capacity magazines like the one used during the shooting at the movie theater in Colorado.

Lieberman asked Lautenberg and other senators, though not Wyden by name, to withdraw their amendments so the bill can be considered.

"Hold back these irrelevant amendments," Lieberman said. "Those amendments deserve debate at some point, but not this week on this bill. Those are making a statement, those are sending a political message. They'll get in the way of protecting national security."

Lautenberg refused. Debate on the bill will continue today.
