Chairman Lieberman, Ranking Member Collins and distinguished members of the committee, my name is Jim Douglas, Governor of the state of Vermont and Vice Chair of the National Governors Association (NGA). I appreciate the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss the issues surrounding state implementation of REAL ID and to lend my support for the solutions presented by S. 1261, the “Providing for Additional Security in States’ Identification Act of 2009” or PASS ID.
