 Mr. Sensenbrenner, from the Committee on the Judiciary, submitted the 
                               following

                          SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT

                        [To accompany H.R. 2359]

    Pursuant to clause 3(a)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives for the 108th Congress, the Committee 
on the Judiciary, to whom was referred the bill (H.R. 2359), to 
extend the basic pilot program for employment eligibility 
verification, and for other purposes, herein files a 
supplemental report on the bill for the correction of a 
technical error in its previous report on the bill.
  House Report 108-304, part I, inadvertently contained 
language which was not considered by the committee. This 
supplemental report strikes section 4 of the committee 
amendment in a nature of a substitute shown in the original 
report (H. Rept. 108-304, part I) and inserts the following:

SEC. 4. OPERATION OF BASIC PILOT PROGRAM IN ALL STATES.

  (a) In General.--Section 401(c)(1) of the Illegal Immigration Reform 
and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (8 U.S.C. 1324a note) is 
amended by striking ``in, at'' and all that follows through the 
semicolon at the end and inserting ``in all States;''.
  (b) Conforming Amendments.--Section 402(c) of the Illegal Immigration 
Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (8 U.S.C. 1324a note) 
is amended--
          (1) in paragraph (2)(B), by striking ``electing--'' and all 
        that follows through ``(ii) the citizen'' and inserting 
        ``electing the citizen''; and
          (2) by striking paragraph (3) and redesignating paragraph (4) 
        as paragraph (3).

  In addition, this supplemental report makes a corresponding 
correction in the Changes in Existing Law section of the report 
as shown below.

         Changes in Existing Law Made by the Bill, as Reported

  In compliance with clause 3(e) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, changes in existing law made by 
the bill, as reported, that were reflected in error in part 1 
and are correctly reflected in this supplemental report, are 
shown as follows (existing law proposed to be omitted is 
enclosed in black brackets and existing law in which no change 
is proposed is shown in roman):

      SECTION 402 OF THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION REFORM AND IMMIGRANT 
                       RESPONSIBILITY ACT OF 1996

SEC. 402. VOLUNTARY ELECTION TO PARTICIPATE IN A PILOT PROGRAM.

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *

          [(3) Acceptance and rejection of elections.--
                  [(A) In general.--Except as provided in 
                subparagraph (B), the Attorney General shall 
                accept all elections made under subsection (a).
                  [(B) Rejection of elections.--The Attorney 
                General may reject an election by a person or 
                other entity under this section or limit its 
                applicability to certain States or places of 
                hiring (or recruitment or referral) if the 
                Attorney General has determined that there are 
                insufficient resources to provide appropriate 
                services under a pilot program for the person's 
                or entity's hiring (or recruitment or referral) 
                in any or all States or places of hiring.]
          [(4)] (3) Termination of elections.--The Attorney 
        General may terminate an election by a person or other 
        entity under this section because the person or entity 
        has substantially failed to comply with its obligations 
        under the pilot program. A person or other entity may 
        terminate an election in such form and manner as the 
        Attorney General shall specify.

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *
