*   identification cards are proving to be the system of choice."

*   the first year of the program, with a projected growth of 10 percent a
*   year, Sandia said. The process will take a four-year cycle to supply all
*   Alabama drivers with the new license as they renew.  The Sandia system
*   is replacing an 11 year-old system.  Alabama is switching to the new
*   license production system to improve the quality and timeliness of
*   drivers' license issuance, and to reduce counterfeit procurement and

*   printers.  The new system, scheduled to be in operation next year, is
*   expected to enhance the quality of support services for law enforcement
*   agencies.

*   license system will help insure more efficient and reliable customer
*   service," said Col. L.N. Hagan, DPS director.  The new system offers
