Given these reservations. I wrote Attorney General Janet Reno on January 14. 1998. to highlight the potentially harmful impact of the statutory deadline for implementation of Section 110 on Arizonas border communities. I also sponsored S. 1360. the Border Improvement and Immigration Act of 1998. to require a feasibility study of Section 110 before it is implemented. Ultimately. the 105th Congress addressed this issue in the Fiscal Year 1999 Omnibus Appropriations bill. After learning that conferees to the bill were considering delaying implementation of the automated entryexit system on the southwest border for only one year. while indefinitely delaying or even removing its applicability to the northern border.
