Andrews Chairman, Subcommittee on Human Resources 123784 Committee on Education and Labor House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: Subject: Drug Suppression/Habitual Offender Program Awards Were Proper (GAO/GGD-84-44) This letter is one of a series which will address the concerns in your April 29, 1983, request about the manner in which the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, Department of Justice, is implementing the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5601 et seq.). In response to one of your concerns, we have reviewed the five fis- cal year 1983 cooperative agreements1 awarded to cities par- ticipating in the Office's Drug Suppression/Habitual Offender Program. You asked us to determine (1) if such agreements were eligible for funding under the Special Emphasis Prevention and Treatment Program authorized by Title II, part B, subpart II, section 224 of the act and (2) if the noncompetitive method used to make the five initial awards violated section 225's applica- tion and award requirements. We studied the act and its amendments and legislative his- tory to determine what programs could be funded and what pro- cedures are required before awarding special emphasis program funds. We also considered the legal opinions on these matters prepared by the legal counsel to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. We found that the awards to partic- ipants in the Drug Suppression/Habitual Offender Program are eligible for special emphasis funding and that the five initial ICooperative agreements differ from grants in that they involve awards for activities which will substantially involve the federal government in their operations.
