ANDERSON GENERAL GOVERNMENT DIVISION U.S. GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON CRIME HOUSE COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY ON DRUG ENFORCEMENT COORDINATION * Drug abuse in this country is a persistent and growing problem. Vast quantities of illicit drugs--heroin, cocaine, marijuana, and dangerous drugs--are being smuggled into the country. * Federal efforts to attack the supply of illegal drugs have three major components--international programs, interdiction at the border, and domestic drug law enforcement. * Although Federal resources devoted to drug interdiction have more than tripled in the last 5 years, the results remain limited. Joint special projects conducted by two or more agencies have proven especially effective in attacking drug smuggling. * The positive results of the joint projects, however, are not typical of the day-to-day operations of Federal investigative agencies. Rather, Federal interdiction efforts are for the most part fragmented. * Interdiction difficulties are just one manifestation of a broader coordination problem that we have previously reported on. We believe that the Executive Department should have one individual or group with the responsibility for evaluating operations and making recommendations for resource allocation, not only for interdiction, but within and across all components of the Federal drug effort. 0,,24 5,3-3 /. -D(D(0 ) 4 120616 h6 ''''III''
