The select commission. as has been pointed out by the Senator from Wyoming. spent a great deal of time trying to find some way to recommend a procedure to the Congress about how potential employees were going to indicate that they were legally eligible to work in this country. There was a great deal of diversity of views on this issue and the select commission could not agree on a new identification procedure. It is certainly the sense of the Congress. the Judiciary Committee. and the Subcommittee on Immigration that we use the existing identification procedures for the interim period of time. There is. naturally. a very considerable concern about what any administration would recommend to be the ultimate identification vehicle for the future. That issue was partly addressed last year. when we debated the immigration bill. to some extent by the Senator from New York . who introduced a senseoftheSenate resolution that social security cards be made fraud resistant. That was not only to protect the social security system. but obviously. I think. from the discussion and debate. he was considering that some form of a revised tamperproof or fraudresistant social security card may ultimately be the vehicle for employment identification.
