MISSING CHILDREN’S ASSIST-
ANCE ACT 
SEC. 201. AMENDMENT TO FINDINGS. 
Section 402 of the Missing Children’s Assistance Act 
(42 U.S.C. 5771) is amended to read as follows: 
‘‘SEC. 402. FINDINGS. 
‘‘The Congress finds that—
‘‘(1) each year thousands of children are ab-
ducted or removed from the control of a parent having 
legal custody without such parent’s consent, under 
circumstances which immediately place the child in 
grave danger; 
‘‘(2) many missing children are at great risk of 
both physical harm and sexual exploitation; 
‘‘(3) in many cases, parents and local law en-
forcement officials have neither the resources nor the 
expertise to mount expanded search efforts; 
‘‘(4) abducted children are frequently moved 
from one locality to another, requiring the coopera-
tion and coordination of local, State, and Federal law 
enforcement efforts; 
‘‘(5) the National Center for Missing and Ex-
ploited Children—
‘‘(A) serves as the national resource center 
and clearinghouse; 
‘‘(B) works in partnership with the Depart-
ment of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
tion, the Department of the Treasury, the De-
partment of State, and many other agencies in 
the effort to find missing children and prevent 
child victimization; and
‘‘(C) operates a national and increasingly 
worldwide network, linking the Center online 
with each of the missing children clearinghouses 
operated by the 50 States, the District of Colum-
bia, and Puerto Rico, as well as with Scotland 
Yard in the United Kingdom, the Royal Cana-
dian Mounted Police, INTERPOL headquarters 
in Lyon, France, and others, which enable the 
Center to transmit images and information re-
garding missing children to law enforcement 
across the United States and around the world 
instantly.’’. 
SEC. 202. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS. 
(a) ANNUAL GRANT TO NATIONAL CENTER FOR MISS-
ING AND EXPLOITED CHILDREN.—Section 404(b)(2) of the 
Missing Children’s Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5773(b)(2)) 
is amended by striking ‘‘2005’’ and inserting ‘‘2008’’. 
(b) IN GENERAL.—Section 408(a) of the Missing Chil-
dren’s Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5777(a)) is amended by
