>Re:  PUBLIC COMMENT EXTENSION ON THE NATIONAL ID CARD (Federal Drivers
>License or ID Card)
>
>I have just spoken with the legal office for the National Highway Traffic
>Safety Administration [(202) 366-1834] who has assured me that any comments
>on the National ID which are received this week will be included in the
>written public comments. Although she made it clear that it is not an
>official extension, she stated that I could tell others that any comments
>received by Friday, August 7 will be included for consideration. REMEMBER:
>After all the outcry over a medical ID card dies down, the virtually
>unreported plans to implement a National ID can easily implement use of the
>National ID card as a requirement for health care access (and tracking).
>Keep in mind also that drivers licenses have always been under state
>purview. These regulations would place state policies and procedures under
>the purview of the federal government.
>
>All public comments must be WRITTEN AND MAILED. There is no fax or email
>contacts for submission of comments. Remember that mail can be slow.  Mail
>it today or tomorrow. Or use Federal Express. Follow instructions below:
>
