         Subject: FY 2005 Annual Report on the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program

         Under section 1308 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001
         (P.L. 106-398), the Department of Defense (DOD) is to submit an annual report to
         Congress on its Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program no later than the first
         Monday in February of each year. The report should include a 5-year plan that
         discusses the amount and purpose of funding needed over the term of the plan and a
         description of efforts conducted by the United States to ensure that CTR assistance is
         fully accounted for and used for its intended purposes. The act requires the
         Comptroller General to assess this 5-year plan and the description of efforts to
         account for CTR assistance within 90 days of the report's submission to Congress.
         The Department submitted its CTR annual report for fiscal year 2005 to Congress in
         early February 2004, and we briefed your staff on April 29, 2004.'

         We analyzed the 2005 report to determine whether (1) the 5-year plan addresses
         legislative requirements and presents accurate information, (2) the accountability
         section addresses legislative requirements and presents accurate information, and (3)
         past GAO recommendations have been adopted. Enclosed is information provided to
         your staff presenting our assessment of the CTR annual report submitted for fiscal
         year 2005 (see enclosure).


         'We refer to the section of the CTR annual report for fiscal year 2004 titled Cooperative Threat
         Reduction (CTR) program implementation plan for FY 2004 as the 5-year plan. We refer to the section
         titled accounting for Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program assistance to states of the former
         Soviet Union (FSU) conducted during FY 2002 as the accountability section. These sections were
         consolidated in the FY 2005 report at GAO's recommendation.
