Mr. Chairman. I rise in support of H.R. 5441. the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2007. This bill will provide valuable homeland security dollars to communities and infrastructure in our country. Im particularly pleased about one provision included in this bill. It will prevent U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) from seizing the property of Americans. Believe it or not. this is being done today. For years. individuals have been allowed to purchase prescription drugs for personal use from Canada and other foreign countries. Last November. without notification. CBP began to seize medicine that Americans had bought from Canadian mailorder pharmacies.
