Second. testing has to be placed in the context of scientific uncertainty. As Senator WExcxza and the Surgeon General have pointed out. testing often yields both false positives and false negatives. Yet this amendment would. for example. deny immigration status to individuals based on uncertain evidence and inconclusive results. Third. while testing may be desirable. it is essential that those tests be conducted in an environment which assures privacy and affords people certain protections. This amendment does not contain such protection and I believe it does not because it is a response which has been developed without the benefit of hearings and open debate.
