Status of the Department of State's Security Enhancement Program

Abstract

In your letter of April 5, 1984, you requested that we update our September 1982 report, Improvements Needed in Providing Security at Overseas Posts (GAO/ID-82-61) to determine1) if the program deficiencies identified previously have been corrected and 2) if any further program deficiencies have developed which need to be corrected. As agreed with your office, this report describes the status of the State Department's Security Enhancement Program (SEP) which was established to deter terrorist acts against U.S. diplomatic personnel at overseas posts. We are continuing our evaluation of SEP and other security programs and will report fully on these matters in the future. Appendix Includes information on the SEP as of July 1984, including its direction, funding, and improvements made. Appendix II includes a follow-up of the recommendations made in our 1982 report.
