Does anyone know if there has been any further movement on this legislation?
*On June 15, 2007 the House of Representatives voted to prevent implementation of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative until June 2009. The January 1, 2008 plan to require all people entering the U.S. by land and sea to have a passport (or other appropriate form of federal identification) has been taken off the fast track. Before this action can become official, the Senate must approve the package and it must then be signed by President Bush. The Senate vote is expected before federal lawmakers break for their summer recess later this month.
