    Sec. 344. (a) It is the sense of the Senate that, within 12 months 
following the date of the enactment of this Act, each motor vehicle 
department of a State, rather than Congress, 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 
citizenship or residence status.
    (b) Under such a program, each department would accept any one of 
the following documents, but no other documents, as proof of the 
person's citizenship or residence status:
            (1) An original or certified copy of a birth certificate 
        issued in the United States.
            (2) A currently valid United States passport.
            (3) Official immigration documents issued by the United 
        States Immigration and Naturalization Service that either 
        contain the person's alien registration number or provide 
        reasonable evidence of current immigration 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 Immigration and Naturalization Service of the 
United States based on documents presented to the department by the 
applicant. 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 submits 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 any person who does not 
establish proof that he or she is a citizen or a legal resident of the 
United States pursuant to subdivision (b).

 (182)Page 51, after line 14, insert:
    Sec. 345. Transfer of Apportioned Title 23 Funding.--The Secretary 
of Transportation shall permit the obligation of not to exceed 
$4,000,000, apportioned under title 23, United States Code, section 
104(b)(5)(B) for the State of Florida for operating expenses of the 
Tri-county Commuter Rail project in the area of Dade, Broward, and Palm 
Beach Counties, Florida, during each year that Interstate 95 is under 
reconstruction in such area.

 (183)Page 51, after line 14, insert:
    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 considering alternatives, 
        could result in a waste of Government 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 determines whether other alternatives 
to the current system can meet its needs in a more cost effective 
manner.

 (184)Page 51, after line 14, insert:
    Sec. 347. It is the sense of the Senate that the Secretary of 
Transportation should take such action as may 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/
military airports. It is further the sense of the Senate that the 
Secretary of Transportation shall require the Federal Aviation 
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 determinations based to 
some appropriate degree on already provided military figures and 
concerns and other enplanement projections 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 
Southeast 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 appropriately solicited and fully 
utilized in future radar decisions involving joint-use airport 
facilities.

 (185)Page 51, after line 14, insert:
    Sec. 348. None of the funds appropriated by this Act shall be 
available for use for closing or otherwise reducing the services of any 
flight service station in the State of Alaska in operation on the date 
of the enactment of this Act, until after the expiration of the 90-day 
period following the date that the Secretary of Transportation has 
reported to Congress regarding the effects on safety of the flight 
service station closing and reduction in services plan being carried 
out by the Federal Aviation Administration in the State of Alaska on 
the date immediately preceding the date of the enactment of this Act. 
Such report shall be submitted no later than 90 days after enactment of 
this Act.

 (186)Page 51, after line 14, insert:
    Sec. 349. If any State or local interest, within one year following 
the date of the enactment of this Act, can demonstrate to the 
satisfaction of the National Railroad Passenger Corporation that such 
State or local interest can cover any potential operating losses 
including the cost of equipment depreciation, or that the National 
Railroad Passenger Corporation will not incur or absorb any part of 
operational losses including the cost of equipment depreciation due to 
the initiation of new State-supported service, the Corporation shall 
initiate such new service: Provided, That the corporation determines 
equipment is available to initiate such service.

 (187)Page 51, after line 14, insert:
    Sec. 350. Paragraph (18) of section 1105(c) of the Intermodal
