Federal Drug Interdiction Efforts

Need Strong Central Oversight



Despite increasing resources for drug inter-
diction, only a small percentage of drugs
entering this country are seized. The author-
ity and responsibility for Federal drug inter-
diction efforts are split among three executive
departments (Justice, Treasury, and Trans-
portation), each with different programs,
goals, and priorities. The current adminis-
tration has emphasized joint task forces to
improve coordination. Although the estab-
lishment of these groups has improved
operational coordination, no one individual
has the information or responsibility to eval-
uate Federal drug efforts and recommend
corrective actions.

GAO makes recommendations to the Presi-
dent to strengthen central oversight of the
Federal drug enforcement program. Also,
interdiction efforts can be further enhanced
by improving the quality and timeliness of
intelligence data and through well planned
and coordinated use of military assistance.
