I have received confirmation from my congressman that the conference report for the Homeland Security Act did not include John McCain's national ID card that he snuck through without debate.
******************************
Thank you for contacting me to express your concerns regarding the Conference Report to S. 2845, National Intelligence Reform Act of 2004. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know your thoughts on this important issue.
The 9/11 Commission recommended that standards be set for the “issuance of birth certificates and sources of identification, such as driver’s licenses,†as most of the 9/11 hijackers had acquired some form of U.S. identification document. I understand you oppose legislation that creates a national identification card and government database system because you believe it poses a threat to your civil liberties. Please know I share your concerns regarding a national identification system. You will be pleased to know the Conference Report to S. 2845 does not contain provisions that create a national identification card and government database system.
As you know, the Conference Report to S. 2845 passed the House by a vote of 336 to 75 on December 7, 2004, and the Senate passed it on December 8, 2004. President Bush signed S. 2845 into law (P.L. 108-458) on December 17, 2004.
Again, thank you for letting me know of your interest. Please do not hesitate to contact me whenever you have concerns about any issue under consideration in Congress.
Best Wishes,
Representative J. Gresham Barrett
