submitted the following

SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT

[To accompany H.R. 2359]

Pursuant to clause 3(a)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House

of Representatives for the 108th Congress, the Committee on the

Judiciary, to whom was referred the bill (H.R. 2359), to extend the

basic pilot program for employment eligibility verification, and for

other purposes, herein files a supplemental report on the bill for

the correction of a technical error in its previous report on the bill.

which was not considered by the committee. This supplemental report strikes section 4 of the committee amendment in a nature of

a substitute shown in the original report (H. Rept. 108–304, part

I) and inserts the following:

at’’ and all that follows through the semicolon at the end and inserting ‘‘in all

States;’’.

(b) CONFORMING AMENDMENTS.—Section 402(c) of the Illegal Immigration Reform

and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (8 U.S.C. 1324a note) is amended—

(1) in paragraph (2)(B), by striking ‘‘electing—’’ and all that follows through

‘‘(ii) the citizen’’ and inserting ‘‘electing the citizen’’; and

(2) by striking paragraph (3) and redesignating paragraph (4) as paragraph

(3).

In addition, this supplemental report makes a corresponding correction in the Changes in Existing Law section of the report as

shown below.
