madam speaker , the crippling reach of methamphetamine abuse has become the nation 's leading drug problem today , and this is according to a survey by 500 sheriffs departments in 45 states .  it is cheap to buy .  it is easy to make .  it is available everywhere .  it is highly addictive .  oftentimes it is addictive after just one use .  so it is currently replacing cocaine and heroin in many parts of the country .  it leads to increased crime , child abuse , increases in the jail population .  in many parts of the country , almost 40 to 50 percent of the jail population is due to methamphetamine abuse .  however , the main problem anymore is not the mom-and-pop meth lab out in the countryside .  it is the superlabs .  right now 60 to 85 percent of the meth in the united states is coming from superlabs in mexico , and this is really hard to trace .  it is hard to get at .  the one thing that is needed to make methamphetamine is pseudoephedrine or ephedrine , and this is manufactured in only six or seven locations around the world : czechoslovakia , germany , china , southeast asia and so on .  this bill would make it more difficult for meth manufacturers to obtain the pseudoephedrine necessary for producing the drug in these superlabs .  h.r. 3199 includes language the house passed earlier as part of the foreign operations authorization bill .  it identifies and publicizes the five countries which have the highest rate of diversion of pseudoephedrine to manufacturers of meth .  we can get the invoices from these manufacturers .  the department of state could then use its existing authority to reduce or eliminate u.s. foreign aid to those countries which are most contributing to the meth problem .  this is one thing that gets people 's attention , when you take their foreign aid away , because they are producing meth that is being used in these superlabs .  it is a good bill .  it gets to the source of the problem .  i want to thank chairman sensenbrenner and particularly chairman souder for their hard work on this bill , and i urge support of the underlying legislation .
