Testimony before the subcommittee clearly demonstrated that there is an urgent need for Federal legislation to prevent the manufacturers and distributors of false identification documents from peddling their products with impunity. As the gentleman from Illinois demonstrated with the exhibits he presented to the subcommittee. these criminals shamelessly advertise in national magazines to provide identification tailored to the needs of the purchaser. If the buyer is a criminal. or course. these documents facilitate a variety of enterprising exploitsillegal immigration. drug smuggling. and terrorism. Earlier this year. law enforcement officers in the State of Michigan brought to my attention the fact that false identification manufacturers are fueling the teenage drunk driving problem. while they line their own pockets. Their services are heavily advertised around high school and college campuses and in periodicals aimed at a young audience.
