Rob Andrews: “It calls for the Secretary of Energy to designate $2 million for the development of iris and other biometric technology…”

On the recordSeptember 15, 1999
It calls for the Secretary of Energy to designate $2 million for the development of iris and other biometric technology for identification. The amendment, I believe, has three virtues: First, it will significantly enhance security at our labs and other facilities in the short run; second, it will have the results of that successful technology shared with our military, with our other federal agencies such as aviation; and third, it is a further investment in the new economy of this country that is generating new products, new jobs and new opportunities. I very much appreciate the cooperation we have received, and I would urge the amendment's adoption.
