SEC. 523. EXPEDITED TRAVELER PROGRAMS. 
(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that the expedited travel programs of the Depart-
ment of Homeland Security should be expanded to all 
major United States ports of entry and participation in 
the pre-enrollment programs should be strongly encour-
aged. These programs assist frontline officers of the 
United States in the fight against terrorism by increasing 
the number of known travelers crossing the border. The 
identities of such expedited travelers should be entered 
into a database of known travelers who have been sub-
jected to in-depth background and watch-list checks. This 
will permit border control officers to focus more closely 
on unknown travelers, potential criminals, and terrorists. 
(b) MONITORING.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary of Homeland 
Security shall monitor usage levels of all expedited 
travel lanes at United States land border ports of 
entry. 
(2) FUNDING
FOR
STAFF
AND
INFRASTRUC-
TURE.—If the Secretary determines that the usage 
levels referred to in paragraph (1) exceed the capac-
ity of border facilities to provide expedited entry and 
exit, the Secretary shall submit to Congress a re-
quest for additional funding for increases in staff

and improvements in infrastructure, as appropriate, 
to enhance the capacity of such facilities. 
(c) EXPANSION OF EXPEDITED TRAVELER SERV-
ICES.—The Secretary of Homeland Security shall— 
(1) open new enrollment centers in States that 
do not share an international land border with Can-
ada or Mexico but where the Secretary has deter-
mined that a large demand for expedited traveler 
programs exist;
