National ID Card Hearing 8/3/94 Barbara Jordon, Chairwoman of the US Commission on Immigration Reform will be testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee tomorrow on the Commissions recomendations on verifying workers are eligible. Drafts of Ms. Jordon's testimony reveal that the Commission has backed off its initial proposal to require a national id card. Rather, the Commission will recommend a pilot program for the 5 states "most harmed by illegal immigration." It appears that this "pilot program" is only an attempt to limit initial opposition to the proposal with a future plan to implement it to other states as possible. In fact, when the national id proposal was first floated, the plan was to implement it step by step. Assuming that this will include Florida, California and Texas, a sizable percentage of the US population will be affected by the proposal. The Hearing will be held in Hart Senate Office Building, Room 216 at 10:15 am
