12 months following the date of the enactment of this Act,
each motor vehicle department of a State, rather than Con-
gress, should establish a program requiring every applicant
for an original, duplicate, or renewal driver’s license or
identification card to produce the documents specified in
subdivision (b) sufficient to establish the applicant’s citizen-
ship or residence status.
(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.

(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.
(d) Under the program, the department would not
issue or renew a driver’s license or identification card to

SEC. 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
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.

SEC. 347. It is the sense of the Senate that the Sec-

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-
priately solicited and fully utilized in future radar deci-
sions involving joint-use airport facilities.
