Senator McCAIN. and I drafted provisions to implement this recommendation of the 9/11 Commission. I am pleased to say that we did so with input from both sides of the political aisle and all interested constituencies to increase security for issuing drivers licenses. Our language was endorsed by State and local governments. by the administration. and by a range of immigration. privacy. and civil liberties advocacy groups. In fact. our provisions to create national standards for State issuance of drivers licenses were enacted into law as part of the 2004 intelligence reform legislation. In 2005. beginning in the other body. so to speak. the House of Representatives. the REAL ID Act was included in a supplemental appropriations bill providing emergency funding for our troops.
