REPORT BY THE U. S.



General Accounting Office


The Roles And Functions Of

Overseas Security Assistance Offices

Need To Be Clarified


Reviewing the activities of a representative
cross-section of Defense Department overseas
Security Assistance Offices, GAO found that
they are performing a wide range of activities,
some of which may not be recognized by the
Foreign Assistance Act.

The Act lists management functions the Offices
are authorized to perform. However, GAO
found that they also provide advisory assist-
ance on a routine basis and engage in activities
not directly related to managing the security
assistance program. The Secretaries of State
and Defense should identify the roles and
functions of overseas Security Assistance Of-
fices and recommend to the Congress chang-
es to the Act to better recognize their activi-
ties.
GAO also raises issues related to the consoli-
dation of security assistance functions with
defense attache activities and the Unified
Commands' role in managing the security as-
sistance program.
