National id already here?

http://www.aamva.net/AAMVAnet_New_Systems.html says: Coman said [police] officers can use "CDLISCheck" to access commercial driver license status, history and AKA information. She noted that the new service was developed in response to a Congressional mandate that requires access to commercial carrier and driver information by at least 100 roadside sites by 1996 and at least 200 locations by 1997. There's a congressional mandate for nationwide online id???
