U.S. CONGRESSMEN TO ATTEMPT TO STOP NATIONAL IDENTITY CARD
IMPLEMENTATION IN AMERICA July 7, 1998
Next week two congressmen plan to introduce legislation called the
Freedom and Privacy Restoration Act to prevent the federal government from
requiring in the future a national identity card for all
Americans,required by a federal law which mandates such a document's
creation by October 1, 1999. They wrote to the U.S. Transportation
Secretary that they opposed his department's "proposed rule
implementing Section 656[b] of the Illegal Immigration Reform and
Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996" saying, "This rule if
implemented, will require states to follow several specific procedures
to reduce fraudulent duplication of state-issued identification
cards...It was never the intent of Congress to mandate a
nationally-standardized indentification card. In fact, the law in
question explicitly provides that it does not authorize the
establishment of such a card."
