Part 3. Exercise
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Combating Methamphetamine Act of
2004''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) Methamphetamine (meth) is an extremely dangerous and
highly addictive drug.
(2) Methamphetamine use contributes to the perpetration of
violent crimes, particularly burglary, child abuse, and crimes
of substantial cost and personal pain to the victims, including
identity theft.
(3) Methamphetamine labs produce hazardous conditions
because of their use of chemicals such as anhydrous ammonia,
ether, sulfuric acid, and other toxins which are volatile,
corrosive and poisonous. When these substances are illegally
disposed of in rivers, streams, and other dump areas,
explosions and serious environmental damage can and does
result.
(4) Since 2001, Federal funding was provided through the
Department of Justice COPS and Byrne Grant programs to address
methamphetamine enforcement and clean up. Since 2002, although
the methamphetamine problem has been growing and spreading
across the United States affecting more States each year,
funding has been cut each successive year, from $70,500,000 in
2002, to only $54,000,000 in 2004.
(5) As methamphetamine has impacted more States each year,
the dwindling Federal funds have been parsed into smaller
amounts. Each State deserves greater Federal support and a
permanent funding mechanism to combat the challenging problem
of methamphetamine abuse.
(6) Permanent Federal funding support for meth enforcement
and clean-up is critical to the efforts of State and local law
enforcement to reduce the use, manufacture, and sale of
methamphetamine, and thus, reduce the crime rate.
(7) It is necessary for the Federal Government to establish
a long-term commitment to combating methamphetamine use, sale,
and manufacture by creating a permanent funding mechanism to
assist States.
