Washington, and Waterloo, Iowa, and (2) the actual equip-
ment costs based on integration with existing systems rather

Aviation Administration will report back to the committee
with an appropriate study not later than December 31,

Ω181æSEC. 344. (a) It is the sense of the Senate that,
within 12 months following the date of the enactment of
this Act, each motor vehicle department of a State, rather
than Congress, should establish a program requiring every
applicant for an original, duplicate, or renewal driver’s li-
cense or identification card to produce the documents speci-
fied in subdivision (b) sufficient to establish the applicant’s
citizenship or residence status.
HR 2750 PP
(b) Under such a program, each department would ac-
cept any one of the following documents, but no other docu-
ments, as proof of the person’s citizenship or residence sta-
tus:
(1) An original or certified copy of a birth cer-
tificate issued in the United States.
(2) A currently valid United States passport.
(3) Official immigration documents issued by the
United States Immigration and Naturalization Serv-
ice that either contain the person’s alien registration
number or provide reasonable evidence of current im-
migration status.
(c) Under the program, an applicant who declares
himself or herself to be a lawful resident in compliance with
such program would have that status verified by the Immi-
gration and Naturalization Service of the United States
based on documents presented to the department by the ap-
plicant. Verification would be either through an automated
system utilizing the applicant’s alien registration or file
number, known as the Systematic Alien Verification for
Entitlements or ‘‘SAVE’’ system, or by the department
sending a copy of the original document the applicant sub-
mits as evidence of his or her immigration status to the
Immigration and Naturalization Service for inspection,
verification, and return to the department.
HR 2750 PP
(d) Under the program, the department would not
issue or renew a driver’s license or identification card to

Ω182æSEC. 345. TRANSFER OF APPORTIONED TITLE
23 FUNDING.—The Secretary of Transportation shall per-
mit the obligation of not to exceed $4,000,000, apportioned
under title 23, United States Code, section 104(b)(5)(B) for

state 95 is under reconstruction in such area.
Ω183æSEC. 346. (a) Congress finds that:
(1) The Federal Aviation Administration is in
the process of testing alternatives to the microwave
landing system, which might prove more cost effective
and capable of supporting category I, II, and III
landings.
(2) Proceeding with full scale production of the
microwave landing system, without seriously consid-
ering alternatives, could result in a waste of Govern-
ment resources.
(b) It is the sense of the Senate that Congress should
not fund full production of the microwave landing system
HR 2750 PP
in the future until the Federal Aviation Administration de-
termines whether other alternatives to the current system
can meet its needs in a more cost effective manner.
Ω184æSEC. 347. It is the sense of the Senate that the
Secretary of Transportation should take such action as may
be necessary to revise the Department of Transportation’s
cost/benefit analyses process to fully take projected military
enplanement and cost savings figures into consideration
with regard to radar installations at joint-use civilian/mili-
tary airports. It is further the sense of the Senate that the
Secretary of Transportation shall require the Federal Avia-
tion Administration to reevaluate the radar needs at the
Cheyenne, Wyoming Airport, and enter into an immediate
dialogue with officials of the Wyoming Air Guard, F.E.
Warren Air Force Base, and Cheyenne area leaders in the
phase II radar installation reevaluation of the Federal
Aviation Administration and adjust cost/benefit determina-
tions based to some appropriate degree on already provided
military figures and concerns and other enplanement pro-
jections in the region. The Senate further believes that the
Secretary of Transportation should report the results of this
reevaluation concerning the Cheyenne Airport’s and South-
east Wyoming’s aircraft radar needs to Congress within 60
days following the date of the enactment of this Act and
explain how military figures and concerns will be appro-
HR 2750 PP
priately solicited and fully utilized in future radar deci-
sions involving joint-use airport facilities.
Ω185æSEC. 348. None of the funds appropriated by
this Act shall be available for use for closing or otherwise
reducing the services of any flight service station in the
State of Alaska in operation on the date of the enactment
of this Act, until after the expiration of the 90-day period
following the date that the Secretary of Transportation has
reported to Congress regarding the effects on safety of the
flight service station closing and reduction in services plan
being carried out by the Federal Aviation Administration
in the State of Alaska on the date immediately preceding
the date of the enactment of this Act. Such report shall be
submitted no later than 90 days after enactment of this Act.
Ω186æSEC. 349. If any State or local interest, within
one year following the date of the enactment of this Act,
can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the National Railroad
Passenger Corporation that such State or local interest can
cover any potential operating losses including the cost of
equipment depreciation, or that the National Railroad Pas-
senger Corporation will not incur or absorb any part of
operational losses including the cost of equipment deprecia-
tion due to the initiation of new State-supported service,
the Corporation shall initiate such new service: Provided,
HR 2750 PP
That the corporation determines equipment is available to
initiate such service.
Ω187æSEC. 350. Paragraph (18) of section 1105(c) of
the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of
1991 (Public Law 102–240; 105 Stat. 2032) is amended

through Evansville, Indiana, and Memphis, Ten-
nessee, traversing Arkansas and Louisiana, to Hous-
