False ID Bill Goes To House

WASHINGTON. DC - Jhr Housr Judiciary Com rtimee has approved legisialion sponsored by Congressman Hill Hughffi (D NJi aimed at cracking down on the growing pro Mem of*false identification cards. • Hughes^,said the dill, known as the False Men tification (.YiITU* Control Act. would make it «’i feileral offenv' for anydne in produce counterfeit iden tification rfocuntents which can ta* used in interstate or

foreign commerce HE SAID >the bill is intended to provide clearcut legal authority to prosecute fhe makers of forged idpn tification materials, which . have literally become passports to crime in recent years ''In our mobile society, the identification documents which are issued by one statt are routinely accepted add us l*d in states thousands-of miles away." sjwd Hughes, who chairs the House Sub

committee on Crime. "Yet, the laws in one stale against counterfeit identification cards cannAt be enforced in another state. This bill would bridge that gap by making such counterfeiting a federal offense "WHETHER WE are talking a-bout welfare abuse nr other frauds against the government^ chdch forgery, drug smuggling or the laundering of cash, we often find the common denommator in

these serious crimes is the use of false identification,” he declared.

The proposed legislation, co-authored by Rep. Henry Hyde (R-lfl), would make it a federal offense for anyone to produce bogus federal identification cards, or to counterfeit identification documents which are issued by state or local govermnents. if that production im’olves or affects interstate or foreign

commerce. Persons who counterfeit such identification cards, such as birth certificates or drivers licenses, would be subject to five-year prison terms.

Hughes said the legislation is needed to .plug a number of lodpholes. in the existing laws covering false identification cards, which are responsible for an estimated $10 billion jn losses each year.

Deaver Gtes Experience

MIDDLE TWP.^- Bill _ Aver, Republican candidate for Township Committee, is kicking off his general election campaign by reaffirming his primary campaign pledge to work to improve township efficiency and to encourage overall fiscal responsibility. "Mayor Device’s retirement, Dec. 31, will cause our township to enter into the most critical period in its history. While I do not agree with DeVico’s politics, Ho consider him a professional in the field of municipal finance management , and the loss of his expertise will be difficult to - replace," Deaver said. "THE POSSIBILITY exists that Jan. 1, 1983, our township could be managed by three individuals, who between them, represent a total of less than five years of part-time government management experience, and they can’t even agree on .their politics." Deaver concluded, "I offer over 15 years experience of public service and my campaign theme, ‘Politics as usual* or ’Business as it should be,’ just/iabout says it all."
