Reported Federal Drug Abuse Expenditures--Fiscal Years 1981 to 1985.

Abstract

GAO's review centers on the Federal Drug Abuse Budget Summary, a document which describes federal agencies' budget authority and outlays for drug abuse programs, including drug law enforcement and prevention treatment activities. On the basis of a sample of federal agencies with drug abuse program responsibilities, GAO determined that the summary fairly reflects the overall level of outlays by federal agencies involved in drug abuse programs; criteria used to report drug-related expenditures vary among the agencies reviewed; increase in total federal drug-related outlays exceeded the inflation rate; increases in drug law enforcement outlays have been primarily due to agencies' internal reprogramming, although some new funds have been appropriated; and federal drug abuse prevention and treatment outlays have decreased since 1982.
