To express the sense of the Senate that Customs and Border Protection should continue to focus on reporting and analysis of trade flows to prevent the spread of methamphetamine.

SA 4669. Mr. GREGG (for Mr. Baucus) proposed an amendment to the bill
H.R. 5441, making appropriations for the Department of Homeland
Security for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007, and for other
purposes; as follows:

In lieu of the matter proposed to be inserted, insert the
following:
Sec. 540. (a) The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Domestic methamphetamine production in both small-and
large-scale laboratories is decreasing as a result of law
enforcement pressure and public awareness campaigns.
(2) It is now estimated that 80 percent of methamphetamine
consumed in the United States originates in Mexico and is
smuggled into the United States.
(3) The movement of methamphetamine into the United States
poses new law enforcement challenges at the border, in the
financial system, and in communities affected by
methamphetamine.
(4) Customs and Border Protection is working to stop the
spread of methamphetamine by examining the movement of the
drug and its precursors at the borders and points of entry.
(5) Customs and Border Protection is a vital source of
information for the Drug Enforcement Administration and other
law enforcement agencies.
(b) It is the sense of the Senate that Customs and Border
Protection should continue to focus on methamphetamine in its
reporting and analysis of trade flows to prevent the spread
of methamphetamine throughout the United States.
