  To end the trafficking of methamphetamines and precursor chemicals 
               across the United States and its borders.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Methamphetamine Trafficking 
Enforcement Act of 2007''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    Congress finds--
            (1) legislation has been enacted to fight the domestic 
        production of methamphetamine;
            (2) according to the Drug Enforcement Administration, 
        between October 1, 2004 and January 11, 2005, there were 1,136 
        Federal offenders sentenced for methamphetamine-related charges 
        in United States Courts and approximately 96 percent of these 
        methamphetamine cases involved a trafficking offense;
            (3) according to the Drug Enforcement Administration, as 
        much as 80 percent of the methamphetamine used in the United 
        States comes from abroad; and
            (4) the goal of the United States should be to bolster 
        efforts to stop the trafficking, manufacturing, and 
        distributing of methamphetamine.

SEC. 3. CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES ACT AMENDMENT.

    (a) In General.--Section 408 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 
U.S.C. 848) is amended by inserting after subsection (e) the following:
    ``(f) Special Provision for Methamphetamine.--For the purposes of 
subsection (b), in the case of a continuing criminal enterprise 
involving methamphetamine or its salts, isomers, or salts of isomers, 
paragraph (2)(A) shall be applied by substituting `100' for `300', and 
paragraph (2)(B) shall be applied by substituting `$1,000,000' for `$10 
million dollars'.''.
    (b) Technical and Conforming Amendments.--Section 408 of the 
Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 848) is amended by striking 
subsections (q) and (s).

SEC. 4. COORDINATION OF ANTI-METHAMPHETAMINE ACTIVITIES WITH OTHER 
              COUNTRIES.

    (a) Multilateral and Bilateral Negotiations.--It is the sense of 
Congress that the United States Trade Representative, the Secretary of 
State, the Attorney General of the United States, and the Secretary of 
Homeland Security should include ways to curb illicit use and shipment 
of pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, and similar chemicals in any 
multilateral or bilateral negotiations.
    (b) Exchanges Between the Drug Enforcement Administration and 
Foreign Law Enforcement.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration should collaborate 
with foreign law enforcement officials from countries that are known 
traffickers of methamphetamine or its precursor chemicals into the 
United States and establish a special investigative program to maximize 
education, training, and information sharing with respect to 
international trafficking and use of methamphetamine.

SEC. 5. REPORT TO CONGRESS ON METHAMPHETAMINE EFFORTS ON INDIAN 
              RESERVATIONS.

    Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, 
the Attorney General shall submit a report to Congress regarding 
problems faced by Indian reservations with respect to methamphetamine 
trafficking and abuse, and recommendations regarding methods to address 
any such problems.
