Napolitano The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service has recently expanded its Telephone Verification System pilot project from one employer in California to more than 236 in Southern California. While the idea of a simple method of verifying employment eligibility may be appealing, there are many problems of grave concern to California with respect to a nationwide telephone employee verification system -- problems that must be resolved prior to expansion of the TVS (telephone verification system). Last year, I introduced AB 507 because it would represent the only measure that allows the State of California to test and develop criteria reflecting the concerns of the diverse ethnic communities of our state with regard to the employment of residents and non-residents alike. In addition, AB 507 would require that ALL employees have their eligibility be verified -- not just those who look and sound different. It would also impose controls protective of the rights of employers and employees alike, including civil and privacy rights. Currently, there is a push in Congress to expand the federal TVS program to a national verification system; but there is little discussion about California's needs. 4 Realistically, the federal government must address California's concerns about an employee verification program by answering the following questions: 1. Is it possible for both the INS and Social Security Administration to clean up their existing data bases, especially given the new increases in "breeder" document fraud? The first TVS pilot demonstrated that the INS database alone had serious problems, as evidenced by the need for a secondary verification for 28% of all verifications. It is vital that the data bases be completely cleansed prior to any such expansion. We must know more about which status are not likely to be reflected in the data base or if there are specific accuracy problems (double last names, spelling errors, etc.) and how to avoid "false negative" results prior to expansion. 2. Is it possible for the TVS system to achieve an error rate of 1 % or less? Currently, the error rates range from 15-20%. Even a 1% error rate will affect approximately 650,000 people annually because approximately 65 million people enter the work force each year. 3. Is the TVS system capable of being effective, reliable, protective of privacy and reducing discrimination? There should be baselines for measuring discrimination, especially in reference to secondary verifications. Because the manual secondary verification is so time-consuming and cumbersome for employers, it could lead to mass firing of employees, the avoidance of hiring those who "look foreign" in the first place, and attempts by employers to seek other means of verifying status of employees, such as calling the Border Patrol or other government agencies. 4. Will there be stiff penalties for misuse of the system? Misuse of the system should carry stiff penalties. Prescreening is a serious potential problem, as is unauthorized access to data and differential treatment between those who "look foreign" and others. Perhaps the biggest questions of all are these: 5. Is it likely that the system will reach the sectors of the economy which employ undocumented workers? Given the nature of the underground economy, this system is not likely to be used by unscrupulous employers who choose to unfairly compete. 5 ,, 6. If it is intended to be used merely as a tool of compliance for employers, how can we protect against discrimination and misuse of the system? It is my hope that these and other questions can be addressed at this hearing today. 6 P.SMBLYWN NAPOLITANO 9153271203 p. ·- ··~ DE~-08-1995 09:31 ..

  • Legislators of California
    The Legislators of California March 2011 Compiled by Alexander C. Vassar Dedicated to Jane Vassar For everything With Special Thanks To: Shane Meyers, Webmaster of JoinCalifornia.com For a friendship, a website, and a decade of trouble-shooting. Senator Robert D. Dutton, Senate Minority Leader Greg Maw, Senate Republican Policy Director For providing gainful employment that I enjoy. Gregory P. Schmidt, Secretary of the Senate Bernadette McNulty, Chief Assistant Secretary of the Senate Holly Hummelt , Senate Amending Clerk Zach Twilla, Senate Reading Clerk For an orderly house and the lists that made this book possible. E. Dotson Wilson, Assembly Chief Clerk Brian S. Ebbert, Assembly Assistant Chief Clerk Timothy Morland, Assembly Reading Clerk For excellent ideas, intriguing questions, and guidance. Jessica Billingsley, Senate Republican Floor Manager For extraordinary patience with research projects that never end. Richard Paul, Senate Republican Policy Consultant For hospitality and good friendship. Wade Teasdale, Senate Republican Policy Consultant For understanding the importance of Bradley and Dilworth. A Note from the Author An important thing to keep in mind as you read this book is that there is information missing. In the first two decades that California’s legislature existed, we had more individuals serve as legislators than we have in the last 90 years.1 Add to the massive turnover the fact that no official biographies were kept during this time and that the state capitol moved seven times during those twenty years, and you have a recipe for missing information. As an example, we only know the birthplace for about 63% of the legislators. In spite of my best efforts, there are still hundreds of legislators about whom we know almost nothing.

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Lawrence C.

Pister: UCSC Chancellorship, 1991-1996 Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7pn93507 Authors Pister, Karl Jarrell, Randall Regional History Project, UCSC Library Publication Date 2000 Supplemental Material https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7pn93507#supplemental eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Introduction The Regional History Project conducted eight interviews with UCSC Chancellor Karl S. Pister just prior to his retirement on June 30, 1996, as part of its University History series. Pister was originally named as the campus’s sixth chancellor for an interim two-year appointment by UC President David P. Gardner in August, 1991, after the resignation of UCSC Chancellor Robert B. Stevens. In March, 1992, the UC Regents approved President Gardner’s recommendation for Pister’s regular appointment as chancellor. Prior to his appointment, Pister had spent his entire academic life at UC Berkeley—thirty years as a faculty member and fifteen years as an academic administrator—and as a seasoned veteran of the UC system and its bureaucracy, he knew the workings of the Academic Senate, the key figures in the University administration, and the institution’s policies and culture, all of which stood him in good stead at UC Santa Cruz. Born in Stockton, California, Pister received his B.S. (1945) and M.S. degrees (1948) in civil engineering at UC Berkeley. In 1952 he received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois in theoretical and applied mechanics. He began his career at UC as a lecturer in 1947, and in 1952 joined the faculty of the College of Engineering where he had a distinguished career as a professor of engineering.

She was overwhelmingly reelected to a second term, and served as mayor until 1982. Prior to her groundbreaking election in 1974, she won a seat on the San Jose City Council and also served as vice mayor. This collection documents her political trajectory from 1974-1982. During her tenure as mayor she focused on urban development issues and smart growth planning, and was very responsive to increased citizen access to the mayor's office. Hayes became an important role model for women in politics, her success in government represented a watershed for politically minded women in the region, and the Santa Clara Valley became know as the "Feminist Capital of the World." This collection consists of election materials, personal files, and public relations materials, most of which were amassed while Hayes served as city council member, vice mayor, and mayor of San Jose.
