Mr. President. I am introducing an amendment that will require the Government to test an array of possible card technologies before creating new passport cards for land border crossings. Under the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative. the Department of Homeland Security is moving toward new rules to require travelers to show a passport or an approved alternative document at land ports of entry. As we all saw from the record passport backlogs over the past few months. the Nation suffers when the administration makes big changes at the border without adequate preparation. Yet with the new passport cards. DHS and the State Department seem to be rushing forward blindly again.
