this measure concerns Federal surplus property in the form of dogs. Typically, these dogs are trained in law enforcement and drug interdiction. The bulk of the 500 dogs currently serving the Federal Government are used by the Customs Service, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and other law enforcement agencies. Under current law, when an agency no longer needs a dog, it is screened to see if another Federal agency needs that dog. If no Federal use is required, the dog can be donated to a State or local law enforcement agency.
