Message From the Director
February 8, 1999
This Fiscal Year 2000 Budget Summary is the companion volume to the National Drug Control Strategy, 1999, transmitted to Congress in February 1999. The Budget Summary details the resources requested by the President to reduce drug use and its consequences in America. In FY 2000, the Administration's drug control budget continues to support those programs that have been effective and introduces new initiatives to address specific drug treatment, prevention, and law enforcement needs.
The Budget Summary is organized into two major sections. The Executive Summary highlights critical drug control programs by Executive Department and major initiative. The Agency Budget Summary section provides an agency-by-agency review of specific drug control programs organized by each goal of the Strategy and a discussion of the FY 2000 drug budget request.
This volume is intended as a helpful reference document for the Congress, the federal community, academics, and other groups interested in this field. The Budget Summary is part of ONDCP's continuing efforts to keep policymakers and the public apprised of important federal drug control programs and funding priorities.
