Who's Behind Defense Bill Data Center Language?

As I report in our news section today, Congress squirreled away language directing the Defense Department to develop a plan to use commercial data centers for consolidation and cloud services in the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act and we all know such stuff does not happen by accident.

Lots of folks could benefit from this language, tucked into the military construction section of the law, ranging from heavy iron vendors such as Hewlett-Packard and IBM to cloud vendors such as Google or Amazon, and surely someone will win a Christmas bonus for such artful lobbying.

Anyone out there know who is behind this loopy idea, and what Senator or Congressperson inserted the language?

This would be good info to have on hand when the fully commercialized Defense data center operation hemorrhages more information than WikiLeaks.
