ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS 

SUPPORT OF S. 507 

∑ Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, I am 

pleased to be an original cosponsor of 

S. 507, the False Identification Act of 

1995, and I wish to congratulate the distinguished Senator from South Dakota 

for offering this important piece of legislation. S. 507 makes it a crime to 

transport through the mails false drivers licenses and other forms of ID to 

minors and lowers the number of false 

forms of ID necessary to trigger criminal liability from 5 to 3. And what do 

children do with phony drivers licenses? They purchase beer and liquor, 

gain admittance to bars and taverns, 

and purchase pornographic materials. 

A lot has been said recently about the 

need to protect our children from growing up too fast. S. 507 is an important 

step in that direction, by striking at 

unscrupulous, profiteering adults who 

provide children with the means of obtaining liquor and pornography. 

Let me be clear on one fact about 

this legislation and the illicit sale of 

false identification which is not mentioned in the body of S. 507. The distribution of false ID cards directly involves interstate commerce, Mr. President. 

I ask that a copy of advertisements, 

from the National Examiner be printed 

in the RECORD.

‘‘PHONY’’ DRIVER’S LICENSES! 

Free Information 

Mr. GRASSLEY. This publication, 

which is openly available at supermarkets and convenience stores across 

the country, contains advertisements 

for—in the words of one of the advertisements—phony drivers licenses. 

Mr. President, I submit that there is 

no socially redeeming use for phony 

drivers licenses. Indeed, the only conceivable use of such documents is to 

subvert State and Federal law. And as 

the Supreme Court recently reaffirmed 

in United States verses Lopez, on page 

9 of the slip opinion, ‘‘The power of 

Congress to keep the channels of interstate commerce free from immoral and 

injurious uses has been frequently sustained, and it is no longer open to question.’’ Simply put, Mr. President, S. 507 

helps to ensure that interstate commerce will not be used to further immoral activities, like providing children with phony drivers licenses so 

that they can purchase liquor and beer 

illegally. That is why I am pleased to 

support S. 507. 

From the beginning of our country, 

States have prohibited the sale of liquor to children. S. 507 helps those 

States by providing Federal help to 

combat what is essentially a Federal 

problem—the interstate transfer of 

false forms of ID to children. I urge my 

colleagues to support S. 507.

THE DEATH OF LES ASPIN 

∑ Mr. MOYNIHAN. Mr. President, this 

morning’s Washington Post carried a 

fine editorial describing the long and 

distinguished public career of the Honorable Les Aspin, the former Secretary 

of Defense and our former colleague. 

The editorial observed that Secretary 

Aspin ‘‘was above all a man engaged in 

the most important, high-stakes issues 

of his time.’’

Having read this excellent account of 

Les Aspin’s three decades of service to 

his country, I do not know what more 

I could say about my friend. I would 

accordingly ask that the editorial from 

today’s Washington Post be printed in 

the RECORD, and I urge every Senator 

to read it. 

The editorial follows: 

[From the Washington Post, May 23, 1995] 

LES ASPIN

We are trying to recall a moment in the 

past several decades when someone or 

other—or this political group or that party 

wing or the other lobby—wasn’t mad at Les 

Aspin. And we come up empty. That is because the former defense secretary and 

chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, who died of a stroke at the age of 56 

on Sunday, was above all a man engaged in 

the most important, high-stakes issues of his 

time. From his days as a college academic 

star and then a Defense Department whiz 

kid, as an internal government Vietnam War 

critic, a teacher and, for 22 years, a member 

of Congress from Wisconsin, Les Aspin never
