These seized conveyances often devalue rapidly after seizure, primarily because of the lengthy forfeiture process and inadequate storage, maintenance, and protection. When the forfeited convey- ances are acquired for use by law enforcement agencies, the conveyances often have high startup and continual repair costs. Also, a lack of storage space has caused the Immigration and Naturalization Service to periodically stop seizure operations. GAO recommends that the Congress enact legislation to --expedite the forfeiture process, --create an improved funding mechanism for preservation costs and for the acquisition of needed conveyances, and --gain more oversight over the use by Federal agencies of forfeited conveyances. GAO also makes several recommendations to the Departments of Justice and the Treasury to improve seized conveyance management and to shorten the time required for the forfeiture process. s4, GAO P5, D-83-94 1COU 141 JULY 15, 1983
