Our preliminary work in response to this request indicated that the data necessary for us to answer your question were not available. Consequently, on June 19, 1997, we briefed your office on this development and discussed related information that we had gathered. Your office asked us to inquire about whether the Criminal Alien Identification Pilot Program, established by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and the city of Anaheim, California, at the city's detention facility to identify criminal aliens for potential deportation, had any information available on illegal immigrants driving without automobile insurance. Your office also asked us to summarize the results of all of our work in a letter to you. This letter responds to that request. To determine whether information was available on illegal aliens operating motor vehicles without automobile insurance, we (1) conducted literature searches and obtained data from published reports and (2) contacted key officials from various national, state, and nonprofit organizations, including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, the California Department of Insurance, and RAND.' We also visited and met with officials from the City of Anaheim's detention facility. We performed this work from May through August 15, 1997. We did not obtain comments from the organizations we contacted because the limited work we did consisted primarily of presenting 'RAND is a nonprofit institution providing research and analysis in many areas, including national defense, education and training, health care, criminal and civil justice, labor and population, science and technology, community development, international relations, and regional studies. 1GAO/GGD-97-172R Illegal Immigrants and Auto Insurance &/7 &
