I received this from a friend...don't know more than this, but am investigating:
The updated Senate Floor Analysis reveals a related federal bill, H.R. 659, the
"Canine Detection Improvement Act of
2007," that includes the following provisions:
"`SEC. 2002. CANINE PROCUREMENT.
`The Secretary shall--
(1) make it a priority to increase the number of domestically bred canines used
by the Department to assist in its counter- terrorism mission, including the
protection of ports of entry and along the United States border;
(2) increase the utilization of domestically bred canines from universities and
private and nonprofit sources in the United States; and
(3) consult with other Federal, State, and local agencies, nonprofit
organizations, universities, and private entities that use detection canines,
such as those participating in the Scientific Working Group on Dog and
Orthogonal Detector Guidelines (popularly known as `SWGDOG'), as well as the
Office of Management and Budget, to encourage domestic breeding of
canines and consolidate canine procurement, where possible, across the Federal
Government to reduce the cost of purchasing canines.
`SEC. 2003. DOMESTIC CANINE BREEDING GRANT PROGRAM.
(a) Establishment of Program- The Secretary shall establish a competitive
grant program for domestic breeders of canines. The purpose of the grant
program shall be to encourage the development and growth of targeted breeding
programs that are best suited for breeding canines for detection purposes
within the United States. `
b) Authorization of Appropriations- There is authorized to be appropriated to
carry out this section $3,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2008 through 2012."
SB 828 is currently on the Senate Floor.
