Drug Control: Defense Spending for Counternarcotics Activities for Fiscal Years 1989-91

Abstract

GAO reviewed the nature and extent of the Department of Defense's (DOD) spending for counternarcotics activities for fiscal years 1989 through 1991. This review, initiated at the request of the Chairman, House Committee on Government Operations, and in response to section 1007 of the fiscal year 1991 National Defense Authorization Act, focused on the DOD counternarcotics funding process, the impact of any delays in providing obligation authority on the ability of DOD organizations to execute their counternarcotics missions, and the process used by DOD to review counternarcotics program proposals before submission to Congress. The National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 1989 assigned DOD responsibility for serving as the single lead agency for detecting and monitoring aerial and maritime transit of illegal drugs into the United States.
