Mr. Chairman. I would like to engage in a colloquy with the gentleman from Texas . the distinguished chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and Claims. with regard to Section 656 of the Illegal Immigration and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. In this important piece of legislation there was a section which requires States to produce drivers licenses that conform to Federal specifications. Recently. the Department of Transportation has promulgated a rule to provide the basis for a national identification card. It does this in part by directing that all Federal agencies may accept as proof of identity only a drivers license or identification document that conforms strictly to certain specific and uniform requirements. and that if a State drivers license issued by any State fails in any respect to conform to such requirements. it shall not be acceptable for any Federal purpose or by any Federal agency.
