*   Inc.(NASDAQ:LASX), today announced that it will supply its digital card
*   printers to the State of Alabama as part of a major upgrade of the
*   state's drivers' license program.
*  
*      Jean-Pierre Arnaudo, president and chief executive officer of Sandia,
*   said, "We are pleased to help Alabama in its leadership move to a
*   secure, fraud-resistant motor vehicle operator card system.  Sandia's
*   state-of-the-art printers and technology for drivers' licenses and
*   identification cards are proving to be the system of choice."
*  
*     Alabama expects to issue about one million new drivers' licenses during
*   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
*   fraudulent alteration.
*  
*     The state's system, operated by the Alabama Department of Public Safety
*   (DPS), will consist of more than 100 issue sites and a central
*   product
