Mr. Chairman. I am concerned that. after midnight. we raise the question here that goes not to the heart of the transportation bill before us but to questions of the implementation of the immigration bill. I am very concerned when I hear some of my colleagues who I think very much would like to see a national ID card raise the specter that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations rulemaking. which is pursuant to the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigration Responsibility Act of 1996. is in fact that they are concerned about that. when they are raising the rules based upon the mandate that the legislation had. Now. what does a mandate do? It says that a Stateissued drivers license and comparable identification document provides that a Federal Agency may only accept as proof of identity a drivers license or identification document that conforms to specific requirements in accordance with regulations to be issued by the Secretary of Transportation.
