SEC. 306. STATEMENT OF CONGRESS REGARDING AVAIL-
ABILITY AND ILLEGAL IMPORTATION OF 
PSEUDOEPHEDRINE FROM CANADA. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
(1) pseudoephedrine is one of the basic pre-
cursor chemicals used in the manufacture of the 
dangerous narcotic methamphetamine; 
(2) the Federal Government, working in co-
operation with narcotics agents of State and local 
governments and the private sector, has tightened 
the control of pseudoephedrine in the United States 
in recent years; 
(3) pseudoephedrine can only be purchased in 
the United States in small quantity bottles or blister 
packs; however, the widespread presence of large 
containers of pseudoephedrine from Canada at meth-
amphetamine laboratories and dumpsites in the 
United States, despite efforts of law enforcement 
agencies to stem the flow of these containers into 
the United States, demonstrates the strength of the 
demand for, and the inherent difficulties in stem-
ming the flow of, these containers from neighboring 
Canada; and 
(4) Canada lacks a comprehensive legislative 
framework for addressing the pseudoephedrine traf-
ficking problem.
(b) CALL FOR ACTION BY CANADA.—The Congress 
strongly urges the President to seek commitments from 
the Government of Canada to begin immediately to take 
effective measures to stem the widespread and increasing 
availability in Canada and the illegal importation into the 
United States of pseudoephedrine.
