          November 4, 1993

          The Honorable Al McCandless
          Ranking Minority Member
          Legislation and National Security
            Subcommittee
          Committee on.Government Operations
          House of Representatives

          Dear Mr. McCandless:

          This letter is in response to your October 15, 1993,
          request for GAO's views on the question: What will it
          take to give the Office of National Drug Control Policy
          (ONDCP) the tools necessary to effectively do what Congress
          intended for it to do?

          As you know, the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 established
          ONDCP to develop and oversee the implementation of national
          drug control policies by the many federal agencies that
          have operational responsibilities relating to drug control.
          Specifically, the 1988 act authorizes ONDCP to

          -- require the various federal drug control agencies to
             provide information that ONDCP may need for drug control
             purposes;

          -- annually promulgate a national strategy specifying drug
             control policies, objectives, and priorities;

          -- coordinate and oversee drug control agencies'
             implementation of the annual strategy;

          -- conduct program and performance audits and evaluations
             and request assistance from agency inspectors general in
             carrying out this function;

          -- review and certify drug control agency budgets for
              adequacy in meeting each annual strategy's policies,
              objectives, and priorities;

           -- notify the President when a drug control agency is not
              complying with the national drug control strategy; and
