      Subject: FY 2004 Annual Report on the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program

      Under section 1308 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001
      (P.L. 106-398), the Department of Defense is to submit an annual report to
      Congress on its Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program no later than the
      first Monday in February of each year. The report should include a five-year plan
      that discusses the amount and purpose of funding needed over the term of the
      plan and a description of efforts conducted by the United States to ensure that
      CTR assistance is fully accounted for and used for its intended purposes. The Act
      requires the Comptroller General to assess this five-year plan and the description
      of efforts to account for CTR assistance within 90 days of the report's submission
      to Congress. The Department submitted its CTR annual report for fiscal year 2004
      to Congress on April 18, 2003.1

      We analyzed the 2004 report to determine whether (1) the five-year plan
      addressed the legislative requirements and presents accurate information, (2) the
      accountability section addressed legislative requirements and presents accurate
      information, and (3) the presentation and usefulness of the CTR annual report
      could be improved. Attached to this letter are a series of slides provided to your


      'The CTR annual report for fiscal year 2004 includes a section titled cooperative threat reduction
      (CTR) program implementation plan for FY 2004, which we refer to as the five-year plan, and a
      section titled accounting for cooperative threat reduction (CTR) program assistance to states of
      the former Soviet Union (FSU) conducted during FY 2002, which we refer to as the accountability
      section.
