§1751 Study of the Feasibility of a North American National Security Program

Summary

The President must study whether to set up a North American National Security Program to make the United States, Canada, and Mexico safer. The study must look at letting foreign travelers volunteer for preclearance checks to see if they are admissible to the U.S. under section 1182 (and maybe expand that to Canada and Mexico), expanding preinspection at foreign airports under section 1225a with cross-training and funding for Canadian and Mexican inspectors, and what is needed to meet the conditions in section 1225a(a)(5), including advice from experts. The President must send a report to the appropriate congressional committees not later than 1 year after May 14, 2002. Money needed to carry out the study is authorized.
