Hughes Chairman, Subcommittee on Crime Committee on the Judiciary 124 House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: Subject: The Coordination of Requests for Military Assistance to Civilian Law Enforcement Agencies (GAO/GGD-84-27) This responds to your request that we provide operational information on the Federal Coordination Group for Drug Interdic- tion. Your request was made July 28, 1983, during hearings held by your Subcommittee on military cooperation with civilian law enforcement agencies. In subsequent discussions, we agreed to provide information, such as membership, mbeting locations, and agendas, on the Coordination Group and on the committee within the Vice President's National Narcotics Border Interdiction Sys- tem (NNBIS). We also agreed to determine and report on whether an overlap of jurisdiction exists between the groups and on the number of requests for military assistance from state and local governments. The Federal Coordination Group for Drug Interdiction, which we referred to in our testimony, was established to coordinate requests from civilian law enforcement agencies for military assistance on drug related matters but was terminated before NNBIS was formed. Therefore, overlapping jurisdiction did not exist. Although other existing law enforcement coordinating groups may also have reason to discuss military assistance from a broad perspective, NNBIS is exclusively responsible for coor- dinating requests by civilian law enforcement agencies for mili- tary assistance relating to drug smuggling into the United States. During the first three quarters of fiscal year 1983, state and local agencies made 121 requests for assistance to the Air Force and Navy. The Army did not distinguish in its report (186707)
